Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both players can answer the same question, the minimum number of questions is the smallest number that when multiplied by either 0.60 or 0.80 yields a whole number.

Let x be the number of questions, solving by trial and error:

if\ x=2\\x*0.8=1.6\\x*0.6=1.2\\\\if\ x=3\\x*0.8=2.4\\x*0.6=1.8\\\\if\ x=4\\x*0.8=3.2\\x*0.6=2.4\\\\if\ x=5\\x*0.8=4\\x*0.6=3\\\\

Therefore, the minimum number of questions in the game is 5.

Find the 12th term of the arithmetic sequence given a3=116 and a7=180<br>​
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term = a +(n-1)d

a3 = 116 ;   a + 2d = 116 ---------(i)

a7 = 180;   a + 6d = 180 -------(ii)

multiply (ii) by -1. so a will be eliminated

           a + 2d = 116 ---------(i)

(ii)*-1    <u>-a - 6d = -180</u> -------(ii)   { Now add the two equations}

              - 4d = -64

                   d = -64/-4

                  d = 16

Plug in the value of d in equation (i),

a + 2*16 = 116

a + 32 = 116

        a = 116 - 32

        a = 84

12th term = 84 + 11* 16 = 84 + 176 = 260
