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

How do I do place value with whole numbers
mario62 [17]

Short answer: the same way you do it with any other kind of numbers.

"Place value" means the value of a number comes from where it is (its place) in relation to the decimal point. The digit immediately to the left of the decimal point is the units digit, so tells you the number of units represented.

Each digit to the left of the units digit has a place value that is 10 times that of the digit to its right. Each digit to the right of the units digit (hence to the right of the decimal point) has a place value that is 1/10 that of the digit to its left.

The places have names (see attached).

_____

You can find the place value of a digit by setting all the other digits in the number to zero. For example, the place value of 2 in the number 324 is 020, or 20.

What transformation takes the graph of f(x)=2x+3 to the graph of g(x)=2x+4 ?
Zolol [24]

The original function f(x) = 2x+3.

And the transformed function is g(x) = 2x+4.

We can see that if we add 1 into function f(x), we get

f(x) +1 or 2x+3+1 = 2x+4.

<h2>So, 1 is being added in original function f(x)  and we get g function g(x) = 2x+4.</h2>

<em>According to rules of transformations, when we add some number k in the given function, it move k units up and if we subtract k from given function, it move k units down.</em>

<h3>Therefore, correct option is B option.</h3><h3>B. translation 1 unit up.</h3>

a construction worker worked 36 hours and earned $504, which included some compensation for paid time off. if his true hourly wa
gtnhenbr [62]
Take first the pay rate of the construction worker with the given details
pay rate = earnings/hours worked
where
earnings= $504
hours worked = 36 hours
pay rate = $14/hr
The problem stated that the true hourly wage is $4 more than the pay rate, thus
true hourly wage = payrate+$4
true hourly wage = $14+$4
true hourly wage = $18
The true hourly wage that will appear on his pay stub is $18.
