Answer:
457
Step-by-step explanation:
The general term of an arithmetic sequence is given by ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
where a1 is the first term (-26), and d is the common difference (7).
The 70th term of your sequence can be found by putting the numbers into this formula:
a70 = -26 +7(70 -1) = -26 +483
a70 = 457
The 70th term of the sequence is 457.
Answer:
120
240
Step-by-step explanation:
We call the length of first part x
Length of second part = y
In the first scenario, it took the tortoise 110 sec to walk the first part and crawl the second.
So,
We have this equation,
x/4 + y/3 = 110
We take the LCM
(3x + 4y)/12 = 110
When we cross multiply
3x + 4y = 110x12
3x + 4y = 1320 ----- equation 1
For scenario 2
x/3 + y/4 = 100
When we take the LCM
(4x + 3y)/12 = 100
We cross multiply
4x + 3y = 100x12
4x + 3y = 1200 ------ equation 2
We now have two equations and we will solve for x and y using simultaneous linear equation.
3x + 4y = 1320 ----- 1
4x + 3y = 1200 ----- 2
We subtract equation 2 from 1 to get
- x + y = 120
We make y subject
y = x + 120 ----- 3
We put the value of y in equation 3 into equation 1
3x + 4(x + 120) = 1320
3x + 4x + 480 = 1320
7x + 480 = 1320
7x = 1320-480
7x = 840
We divide through by 7
x = 840/7
x = 120
We put value of x in equation 3
y = x + 120
y = 120 + 120
y = 240
120 and 240 are the lengths of the 2 parts of the journey.

Two eventis are independent if knowledge about the first doesn't change your expectation about the second.
a) Independent: After you know that the first die showed 4, you stille expect all 6 numbers from the second. So, the fact that the first die showed 4 doesn't change your expectation about the second die: it can still show numbers from 1 to 6 with probability 1/6 each.
b) Independent: It's just the same as before. After you know that the first coin landed on heads, you still expect the second coin to land on heads or tails with probability 1/2 each. Knowledge about the first coin changed nothing about your expectation about the second coin.
a) Dependent: In this case, there is a cause-effect relation, so the events are dependent: knowing that a person is short-sighted makes you almost sure that he/she will wear glasses. So, knowledge about being short sighted changed your expectation about wearing glasses.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean but simplifying this expression results in 96x + 5 1/2.
