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

A rental car company charges $80 per day to rent a car and $0.10 for every mile driven. Alyssa wants to rent a car, knowing that
anygoal [31]

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

Car A costs 80d + 0.25m, where d is days and m is miles. Car B costs 100d + 0.10m. If you plug in 3 for d and make the equations equal, you get 240 + 0.25m = 300 + 0.10m. Combining like terms gives you 0.15m = 60, and dividing gives you m = 400.

1: Create a single variable linear equation that has no solution. Solve the equation algebraically to prove that it does not hav
OLga [1]

Answer:

(1) y=C, C\neq0

(2) x=C

(1) y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

For the linear equation, the power on the solitary variable must be 1.

When the graph of a function crosses/ touches the x-axis than the equation has solution/solutions otherwise it does not has a solution.

When it touches/cresses the x-axis for infinite times then it will have an infinite number of solutions.

(1) The linear equation y-C=0, where y is a variable and C is a non-zero constant,  C \neq 0, has the graph parallel to the x-axis. It has no solution as the graph will never cross/touch the x-axis.

Algebraically, in linear equation y-C=0, is independent of x, so there is no value of x for the solution to be exist.

(2) The linear equation x-C=0, where x is a variable and C is a constant, has one solution.

The solution for the equation is

x-C=0

\Rightarrow x=C, where C\neq0.

(3) The linear equation y=0, where y is a variable, has the graph coinciding with the x-axis. So, it has infinitely many solutions.

Algebraically, in linear equation y=0, is independent of x, so for all value of x, the given equation is zero. Hence, there are infinitely many solutions.
