find two consecutive odd intergers that twice the larger is fifteen more than three times the smaller

Svetach [21]

Answer:

11, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

an odd number can be represented by 2n+1

since they are consecutive, the larger odd number will be 2n + 1 + 2

now,

2(2n+3) = 2n + 1 +15

solving this eqn, we get n = 5

so the two numbers are (2n+1) = 11 and 11+2= 13

Graph the six terms of a finite series where a1 = −3 and r = 1.5.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

We are given the first term and the common ratio, this means they belong to a geometric series.

For the given series:

$a_{1}=-3 \\ 
r=1.5$

Each term of the geometric series is obtained by multiplying the previous term by common ratio.

So the next terms will be:

-4.5, -6.75, -10.125, -15.1875, -22.78125

The general formula for the G.P would be:

$a_{n}=-3(1.5)^{n-1}$

On plotting the series, the result will be like this:
