Mathematics
2 answers:
Gemiola [76]3 years ago

Answer:

The sequences are arithmetic

1).-8.6, -5.0, -1.4, 2.2, 5.8

2).  5, 1, -3, -7, -11

3). -3, 3, 9, 15, 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If a sequence is a an AP then there is a common difference d.

<u>1) Check sequence 1</u>

-8.6, -5.0, -1.4, 2.2, 5.8

-5.0 - - 8.6 = 3.6

-1.4 - -5.4 = 3.6  It is an AP

<u>2) Check sequence 2</u>

2, -2.2,2.42, -2.662, 2.9282

-2.2 - 2 = -4.2

-2.662 - 2.42 = -5.082 Not AP

Similarly AP sequences are

5, 1, -3, -7, -11

-3, 3, 9, 15, 21

Answer:

Options 1, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know in an arithmetic sequence each successive term has a common difference.

Let's check each option for Arithmetic sequence.

Option 1.

-8.6, -5.0, -1.4, 2.2, 5.8,....

Difference between 2nd and 1st term

-5 - (-8.6) = -5 + 8.6

= 3.6

Difference between 4th and 3rd term

-1.4 - (-5) = -1.4 + 5

= 3.6

This proves that there is a common difference of 3.6 which shows that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

Option 2.

2, -2.2, 2.42, -2.662, 2.9282,....

2nd term - 1st term = (-2.2) - 2 = -4.2

3rd term - 2nd term = 2.42 - (-2.2) = 2.42 + 2.2 = 4.62

Here difference in each term of the sequence is not common so it's not an arithmetic sequence.

Option 3.

5, 1, -3, -7, -11,.......

2nd term - 1st term = 1 - 5 = -4

3rd term - 2nd term = -3 - 1 = -4

Therefore, the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

Option 4.

-3, 3, 9, 15, 21,.......

2nd term - 1st term = 3 - (-3) = 3+ 3 = 6

3rd term - 2nd term = 9 - 3 = 6

There is a common difference of 6 in each term so it's an arithmetic sequence.

Option 5.

-6.2, -3.1, -1.55, -0.775, -0.3875,.........

2nd term - 1st term = -3.1 - (-6.2) = 6.2 - 3.1 = 3.1

3rd term - 2nd term = -1.55 - (-3.1) = 3.1 - 1.55 = 1.55

And 3.1 ≠ 1.55 which shows that this sequence is not an arithmetic sequence.

Options 1, 3 and 4 are arithmetic sequences.

The level of the tide in a harbor changed from 9 1/4 ft to 4 1/2 ft above sea level over a period of 3 1/4 hr
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{- \frac{19}{13} \ / hour}"

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Calculating the difference of 9 \frac{1}{4}\ and \ 4 \frac{1}{2}  dividing the value by 3 \frac{1}{4}

\to 4 \frac{1}{2} - 9 \frac{1}{4}\\\\ \to  \frac{9}{2} - \frac{37}{4}\\\\  \to  \frac{18-37}{4} \\\\ \to -\frac{19}{4}\\\\\to -\frac{19}{4} \div \frac{13}{4}= -\frac{19}{4} \times \frac{4}{13} = -\frac{19}{13}\\

there are 270 at Colfax Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 5:4. there are 180 students at Winthrop Middle School
ruslelena [56]

Colfax:

Add the ratio numbers together:

5 + 4 = 9

Divide total students by that:

270 / 9 = 30

Multiply each ratio by 30:

Boys = 30 *5 = 150

Girls = 30 * 4 = 120


Do the same for Winthrop:

4 +5 = 9

180 /9 = 20

Boys = 20 * 4 = 80

Girls = 20 * 5 = 100


Total students = 270 + 180 = 450

Total Girls = 120 + 100 = 220


Fraction that are girls = 220 / 450 which reduces to 22/45
