Given:
arithmetic progression
a₁ = 3
a₂ = x
a₃ = y
a₄ = 18

Solution:
The arithmetic progression has general formula to determine nth term
a₁ + d(n - 1) = an
a₁ represents first term, d represents difference, n represents number of terms, an represents nth term

First we should find out the value of d, by submitting a₄ to the formula
a₁ + d(n - 1) = an
a₁ + d(4 - 1) = a₄
3 + d(3) = 18
3 + 3d = 18
3d = 15
d = 5
The difference of the sequence is 5

Second, determine x and y
x = a₂
x = a₁ + d(2 - 1)
x = 3 + 5(1)
x = 8

y = a₃
y = a₁ + d(3 - 1)
y = 3 + 5(2)
y = 13

The value of x is 8, the value of y is 13

The initial temperature of a cup of tea is 200ºF. The surrounding temperature is 70ºF, and the value of the constant k is 0.6. A
Mazyrski [523]
Newton's cooling model is ΔT = ΔTo * e ^ (-k t)

ΔTo = 200°F - 70°F = 130°F

k = 0.6

t = 2 hours

=> ΔT = 130 * e ^ (-0.6 t) = 130 * e^ (-0.6 * 2) = 130 * e ^ (-1.2)

ΔT = 39.15°F

ΔT = T - Tenvironment => T = ΔT + Tenvironment = 39.15°F + 70°F = 109.15°F ≈ 109 °F.

Answer: T = 109 °F

The sum of two numbers is 21,and their difference is 9
Ghella [55]
let's say the two numbers are x and x + 9. so we know x + x + 9 = 21, so 2x + 9 = 21. subtract 9 from both dies to get 12 = 2x. divide both sides by 2 to get x = 6. so your two numbers are 6 and 15.
