(a) The explicit rule to model the sequence formed by the number of seats in each row is $a_{n}=15+3n$

(b) The 35th row has 120 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}=a+(n-1)d$ , where

a is the the first term
d is the common difference between each two consecutive terms

∵ There are 18 seats in the 1st row

∵ There are 21 seats in the 2nd row

∵ 21 - 18 = 3

∵ The number of seats is increased by 3 with each additional row

- The number of seats in each row represents an arithmetic

sequence because there is a common difference between

each two consecutive rows

∴ The number of seats in each row formed an arithmetic sequence

∵ The number of seats in the first row = 18 seats

∴ a = 18

∵ The number of seats in a row continues to increase by 3 with each

additional row

∴ d = 3

- Substitute the values of a and d in the rule of nth term

∴ $a_{n}=18+(n-1)3$

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ $a_{n}=18+3n-3$

- Add like terms

∴ $a_{n}=15+3n$

(a) The explicit rule to model the sequence formed by the number of seats in each row is $a_{n}=15+3n$

∵ There are 120 seat in a row

- Substitute $a_{n}$ by 120 in the rule above

∴ 120 = 15 + 3n

- Subtract 15 from both sides

∴ 105 = 3n

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ n = 35

∴ The number of the row is 35

(b) The 35th row has 120 seats

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus−2.00, m

Gemiola [76]

The answer is z score of 2.00 is most desirable because it is 2.00 standard deviations beyond the mean and would agree to the highest of the five diverse likely test scores. In addition, the number of standard deviations that a given value x is above or below the mean is the z score or as called as standardized value. The negative z score agrees to an x value less than the mean while a positive z score agrees to an x value larger than the mean. The more negative the z score the more the x value is under the mean and the further positive the z score the more the x value is below the mean.

A coroner arrives at a murder scene at 10p.m. She finds the temperature of the body to be 86.3 degrees F. She waits one hour, t

hram777 [196]

5 - 6 pm

if the temperature drops 3 degrees per hour. so how many hours would it take to go from 98.6 to 86.3

98.6-86.3=12.3

3 goes into 12 4 times.

10 pm - 4 hours is 6pm.

if you figure in the .3

you come to approximately 5pm

For a constant function, the y-coordinate is __________ for every pair of points selected, so the average rate of change always

sergij07 [2.7K]

In mathematics, a constant function is one defined in which a function whose output value (y) is the same for every value of the input variable (x). Therefore this means that whatever is the value for x, the value of y would always be the same. Hence we can say that the function is a straight horizontal line in a Cartesian plane.

Since the value of y does not change, and the average rate of change has the formula:

average rate of change = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

So y2 – y1 = 0 therefore average rate of change is also zero.

Hence to complete the sentence:

For a constant function, the y-coordinate is <u>the same</u> for every pair of points selected, so the average rate of change always has a value equal to <u>zero</u>.
