A store finds that the number of shirts sold increases each week. In the first week, only 15 shirts were sold. In the next week,

22 shirts were sold and in the third week 29 shirts were sold. The number of shirts sold each week represents an arithnetic sequence.
What is the explicit rule for the arithmetic seuquence that defines the number of shirts sold in week n?

Answer:

a_n=8+7n

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of T-Shirts sold in first week = 15

No. of T-Shirts sold in second week = 22

No. of T-Shirts sold in third week = 29

The number of shirts sold each week represents an arithmetic sequence.

15,22,29,....

So, a = first term = 15

d = common difference = 22-15= 29-22= 7

Formula of nth term :a_n=a+(n-1)d

a is the first term

d is the common difference

n is the number of term

Now substitute the values in the formula :

a_n=15+(n-1)7

a_n=15+7n-7

a_n=8+7n

Where n is the number of weeks

Hence the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence that defines the number of shirts sold in week n is a_n=8+7n

Tom painted 3/5 of his bedroom on Monday and 1/10 of his bedroom on Tuesday. How much does he have left to finish?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 + 1/10

3/5 = 6/10

6/10 + 1/10 = 7/10 = total bedroom space he painted

10/10 - 7/10 = 3/10 = how much space is left

The tallest tree in the world is 379 feet tall. How tall will each of the trees be in the year 2030 if their models continue? Is
tresset_1 [31]

Models are patterns that are used to predict measurements and populations

<h3>How to model the tree</h3>

The question is incomplete, as the model and the dataset to model that growth of the tree are not given.

So, I will give a general explanation

If the model of the tree follows a linear model (e.g y = 2x + 3), then the model is not reasonable.

This is so because, population and growth cannot be measured by a linear model

However, if the growth of the trees follow an exponential model (e.g y = 2(3)^x), then the model is reasonable
