Answer:

495

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the sum of the first 18 terms you have to find the 18th term and the first term using the equation given.

a1=3(1)-1        a1=2

a18=3(18)-1   a18= 53

Then plug in 53 for an, 18 for n, and 2 in for a1 in the sum equation: Sn=n/2(a1+an)  

Sn=18/2(2+53)  Solve for sn= 495

First draw sloping up (steep because he’s running)to the right until you hit 20 on the y axis. Next draw down and to the right for 5 yards until 15 on y axis.

The Hamptons family has a fish tank holding 10,450 ml of water.The water is leaking at a rate of 270 ml per minute.
True [87]
The output would depend on the input so relating this to the question, the input is the time (in minute) and the output is the amount of water left in the tank

We can give a letter 't' for the time, the input, and f(t) for the output

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The original amount of water in the tank is 10450, so this will be the fixed constant.
The amount of water lost per minute is 270 so this will be the term that varies depends on the variable of time, we write this as 270t

The function is given f(t) = 10450 - 270t
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given, t = 10
f(10) = 10450 - 270(10)
f(10) = 7750 ml
