I think a. 8x+7x=90

That's how i usually do these type of questions.

~
x= 6

8x=48
7x=42

What is the nth term?

kumpel [21]

Let $a_k$ denote the <em>k</em>th term of the sequence. Then

$a_k=a_1+d(k-1)$

where <em>d</em> is the common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence and <em>a</em>₁ is the first term.

The sum of the first <em>n</em> terms is

$S_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^na_k=a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_{n-1}+a_n$

From the formula for $a_k$ , we get

$S_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n(a_1+d(k-1))=a_1\sum_{k=1}^n1+d\sum_{k=1}^n(k-1)$

$S_n=\displaystyle na_1+d\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}k$

$S_n=na_1+\dfrac{d(n-1)n}2$

$S_n=\dfrac n2(2a_1-d+dn)$

So we have $d=-5$ , and $2a_1-d=16$ so that $a_1=\frac{11}2$ .

Then the <em>n</em>th term in the sequence is

$a_n=\dfrac{11}2-5(n-1)=\boxed{\dfrac{21-10n}2}$

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is less than or equal to 33. Write an inequality and solve to determine the maximum val

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If first odd number is x

THen next consecutive odd number is x + 2

Next one is x + 4

Now, we can write the word problem as:

$x+x+2+x+4 \leq 33$

Now we solve:

$x+x+2+x+4 \leq 33\\3x+6 \leq 33\\3x \leq 27\\x \leq 9$

So, x is less than or equal to 9, so it can be

9, 7, 5 .....

What is the maximum value of the lowest number (x)?? It is 9

Can someone please help me? Please

vesna_86 [32]

If length AM = AK then it is isosceles.

M(-1,-6), A(-4,5)

AM=((5-(-6))²+(-4-(-1)))^(1/2)=11.401

A(-4,5) and K(5,-2)

AK=((-2-5)²+(5+4)²)^(1/2)=11.401

so the triangle is isosceles.

Laura's school is holding an outdoor activities celebration event for its 20th anniversary. Laura decides to participate in the

Pachacha [2.7K]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of Laura winning an activity

The value of p is 1/12
The expected score of the game is -1/6
The probability that she has a total score of 5 after two rounds is 0

<h3>How to calculate the value of p</h3>

To calculate the value of p, we make use of the following probability formula

$\sum P(x) = 1$

So, we have:

$\frac 3{12} + \frac 1{12} + \frac 4{12} + \frac 2{12} + p + \frac 1{12} = 1$

Collect like terms

$\frac 3{12} + \frac 1{12} + \frac 4{12} + \frac 2{12} + \frac 1{12} + p= 1$

Evaluate the sums, on the left-hand side

$\frac{11}{12} + p = 1$

Subtract 11/12 from both sides

$p = \frac 1{12}$

Hence, the value of p is 1/12

<h3>(b) How to calculate the expected score</h3>

This is calculated using the following expected value formula

$E(x) = \sum x * P(x)$

So, we have:

$E(x) = -3 * \frac{3}{12} -1 * \frac 1{12} + 0 * \frac 4{12} + 1 * \frac 2{12} + 2 * \frac 1{12} + 4 * \frac 1{12}$

Evaluate the products

$E(x) = -\frac{9}{12} - \frac 1{12} + \frac 2{12} + \frac 2{12} + \frac 4{12}$

$E(x) = -\frac 2{12}$

Simplify

$E(x) = -\frac 1{6}$

Hence, the expected score of the game is -1/6

<h3>(c) The probability that she has a total score of 5 after two rounds</h3>

From the table, we have:

$P(5) = 0$

For after two rounds, we make use of the following equation

$P(5) * P(5) = 0 * 0$

$P(5) * P(5) = 0$

Hence, the probability that she has a total score of 5 after two rounds is 0
