Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sequence above is an arithmetic sequence
For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence
A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d
where a is the first term
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
From the question
a = 1/3
d = 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6 or 2/3 - 1/2 = 1/6
Substitute the values into the above formula
That's
<h3>So the nth term of the sequence is
<h3>For a50 since we are finding the 50th term
n = 50
So we have
<h3>We have the final answer as

Answer:
Length = 6
Width = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You can choose to go about this question in lots of different ways, but this is how i did it. I drew a diagram of the rectangle and labeled it: the height/length as x and the width as x/4 (they told us the width is a quarter of the length). They also told us that the area is 9 square units.
We know that length x width = area
So: length x width = 9
I'm gonna bring in the variables i used in the diagram, so:
x
= 9
Keep solving:
= 9
Times both sides by 4:
= 36
Square root both sides for x:
<em>* remember that when you square root, its possible to have a positive or negative version of the value</em>
x = ±6
Since its impossible to have a negative length, we can say that x = 6.
X was just the variable we gave to the length of the rectangle, so now we know the length is 6. If you needed to find width as well, you can do 6/4, which simplifies to 3/2.
To double-check
- 6 x 3/2 should equal 9, since length x width = area
which it is, so we're correct!
Hope that helped : )
