An example scenario is:
Anthony goes to the gym for <em>20</em> minutes on Monday. Every day he <em>multiplies</em> his gym time by <em>2</em>.
On the fifth day, he will spend spend 320 minutes in the gym.
The formula used to determine the 5th term is,
a5 = 20 x 2^(r -1)
where r is the common ratio equal to 2.
Multiply -12 to each of the terms (make sure to carry the negative!)
-36a - 24b + 12 will be your final answer :)
This is the formula you would use to calculate how many tiles you would need.
# of tiles you need = Total square footage ÷ square footage of each tile
Total square footage: 69x69 = 4761 square feet
Square footage of each tile = 2x2 = 4 square feet
# of tiles you need = 4761 ÷ 4 = 1190.25
You will need 1190.25 tiles.
Answer: w = 41
QU = 2(RT)
w + 41 = 2w
w = 41
The key is to find the first term a(1) and the difference d.
in an arithmetic sequence, the nth term is the first term +(n-1)d
the firs three terms: a(1), a(1)+d, a(1)+2d
the next three terms: a(1)+3d, a(1)+4d, a(1)+5d,
a(1) + a(1)+d +a(1)+2d=108
a(1)+3d + a(1)+4d + a(1)+5d=183
subtract the first equation from the second equation: 9d=75, d=75/9=25/3
Plug d=25/3 in the first equation to find a(1): a(1)=83/3
the 11th term is: a(1)+(25/3)(11-1)=83/3 +250/3=111
Please double check my calculation. <span />
