Answer:the 57th term is 78

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is an arithmetic sequence. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = - 6

d =3/2

n = 57

We want to determine the value if the 57th term, T57. Therefore,

T57 = - 6 + (57 - 1) ×3/2

T57 = - 6 + 56 × 3/2 = - 6 + 84

T57 = 78

The -2 has a multiplicity of 2

Since the order of (x+2) is squared, i.e. power is 2

When the members of a family discussed where their annual reunion should take place, they found that out of all the family mem

Doss [256]

Answer:

The total number of family members is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must build the Venn's Diagram of these sets.

I am going to say that:

-The set A represents those that would not go to a park.

-The set B represents those who would not go to a beach.

-The set C represents those who would not go to the family cottage.

The value d represents those who would go to all three places.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

In which a are those that would only not go to a park, $A \cap B$ are those who would not got to a park or to the beach, $A \cap C$ are those who would not go to a park or to the famili cottage. And $A \cap B \cap C$ are those that would not go to any of these places.

By the same logic, we have:

$B = b + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

$C = c + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

This diagram has the following values:

$a,b,c,d,(A \cap B), (A \cap C), (B \cap C), (A \cap B \cap C)$

The total number of family members is the sum of all these values:

$T = a + b + c + d + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

We start finding the values from the intersection of the three sets

5 would not go to a park or a beach or to the family cottage.

This means that $A \cap B \cap C = 5$

1 would go to all three places. This means that $d = 1$ .

8 would go to neither a park nor the family cottage

This means that:

$A \cap C + (A \cap B \cap C) = 8$

$A \cap C = 3$

8 would go to neither a beach nor the family cottage

$B \cap C + (A \cap B \cap C) = 8$

$B \cap C = 3$

7 would go to neither a park nor a beach

$A \cap B + (A \cap B \cap C) = 7$

$A \cap B = 2$

15 would not go to the family cottage

$C = 15$

$C = c + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

$15 = c + 3 + 3 + 5$

$c = 4$

12 would not go to a beach

$B = 12$

$B = b + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

$12 = b + 3 + 2 + 5$

$b = 2$

11 would not go to a park

$A = 11$

$A = a + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

$11 = a + 2 + 3 + 5$

$a = 1$

Now, we can find the total number of family members.

$T = a + b + c + d + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

$T = 1 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 5$

$T = 21$

The total number of family members is 21.

What is the best first step in solving the equation 3x2 + 8x = -5?

Rashid [163]

I would assume it would be dividing both sides by three although if someone were to actually solve this I would say multiply 2 and 3 together first.

Hope this helps :)
