Answer:
D. 21/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We simply have to evaluate the first three terms based on the progression's formula:
t= 1, the first term is 8, as we see:

t=2, the second term is 2, as we see:

t=3, the third term is 1/2, as we see:

The sum of the first 3 terms is then: 8 + 2 + 1/2 = 10 1/2
Among the answer choices, D. 21/2, which is 10 1/2.
Answer: -6x² + 15x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, you only need to substitute g(x)'s equation as the value of the x in f(x), then simplify.
Step 1: f(x) = -3(2x² - 5x - 1) + 2
Step 2: Apply the distributive property
-3(2x²) + -3(-5x) + -3(-1)
-6x² + 15x + 3
Step 3: Simplify
f(x) = -6x² + 15x + 3 + 2
f(x) = -6x² + 15x + 5
No, it's not possible for the sides of a triangle to have those lengths.
According to the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of any two sides of the triangle has to be bigger than the last side. Let's test this.

This inequality satisfies the triangle inequality theorem.

This also satisfies the theorem.

Uh oh. This does not satisfy the triangle inequality theorem. Thus, it is not possible for a triangle to have these side lengths.

Answer:
375 hamburgers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h represent the number of hamburgers. Then h+63 is the number of cheeseburgers, and the combined total is ...
h +(h +63) = 813
2h = 813 -63 = 750
h = 750/2 = 375
375 hamburgers were sold on Saturday.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
In a "sum and difference" problem like this, the smaller number is half the difference between the sum and the difference. h = (813 -63)/2 = 375. This generic solution applies to all "sum and difference" problems.
