C: 4 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a1 = -3

a15 = 53

We know that explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

For the 15th, term it will be

a_{15}=-3+(15-1)d\\53=-3+14d

Adding 3 on both sides

53+3 = -3+3 + 14d\\56 = 14d

Dividing both sides by 14

\frac{56}{14}=\frac{14d}{14}\\d=4

Hence,

C: 4 is the right answer

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • 6 large prints
  • 12 small prints
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>Numerical Reasoning</em>

Consider a set of prints that consists of 2 small prints and one large print (that is, twice as many small prints as large). The value of that set will be ...

... 2×$20 +45 = $85

To have revenue of at least $510, the studio must sell ...

... $510/$85 = 6

sets of prints. That is, the studio needs to sell at least 6 large prints and 12 small ones.

_____

<em>With an equation</em>

Let x represent the number of large prints the studio needs to sell. Then 2x will represent the number of small prints. Total sales will be ...

... 20·2x +45·x ≥ 510

... 85x ≥ 510

... x ≥ 510/85

... x ≥ 6

The studio needs to sell at least 6 large prints and 12 small prints.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

1) 2(t - 7)(t + 1)

2) $32,000

Step-by-step explanation:

v(t) = 2t² - 12t - 14

v(t) = 2(t² - 6t - 7) = 2(t - 7)(t + 1)

x = -b/2a = 6/2 = 3

y = 2(3)² - 12(3) - 14 = -32

(3, -32) means at 3 months, -32 thousand dollars
