Staircase one looks like our normal staircase we have today which looks like it’s easier so staircase two is more difficult to walk up?
But also
staircase one will be harder because it’s just smaller? Shorter and less space for your feet to step on. Staircase two has 1 ft of space for your feet to land on and is a bit higher which seems like normal stairs? But if I go measure my staircase... I don’t think it’s 1 ft... so? Maybe it’s staircase one? I’m sorry if I’m confusing you!!
I don’t think that’s a right or wrong question? Maybe it’s just your opinion? I’m so sorry, I honestly have no clue
Answer:
aₙ= -2n²
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>Solution 1:</u></h2>
The sequence:
The difference between the terms:
- a₁= -2
- a₂= a₁ - 6 = a₁ - 2*3= a₁- 2*(2²-1)
- a₃= a₂ - 10 = a₁ - 16= a₁ - 2*8= a₁ - 2*(3²-1)
- a₄= a₃- 14= a₁ - 30= a₁ - 2*15= a₁ - 2*(4² -1)
- ...
- aₙ= a₁ -2*(n²-1)= -2 -2n² +2= -2n²
As per above, the nth term is: aₙ= -2n²
<h2><u /></h2><h2><u>Solution 2</u></h2>
The sequence:
- -2, -8, -18, -32, -50
- -2*1, -2*4, - 2*9, -2*25
- -2*1², -2*2², -2*3², -2*4², -2*5², ..., -2*n²
- aₙ= -2n²
By greater if you mean faster, then you are comparing the fractions 11/10 and 7/6. Finding a common denominator, which is thirty, we get the fractions 33/30 and 35/30. We can see that 35>33, making Song B faster.
The expression which relates the total time taken and the time taken for the trip is [15s + 15(s+2)] / s² + 2s and 2.32 hours respectively.
<em>Travel time = distance ÷ speed </em>
<u>Second half of the trip</u> :
- <em>Distance covered = 15 miles</em>
<u>Time taken for second half of trip</u> :
Time taken = 15 / s
<u>First half of the trip</u> :
- <em>Speed = s + 2 mph </em>
<u>Time taken for first half of trip :</u>
Time taken = 15 / (s+2)
<u>Total time taken :</u>
<em>First half + second half</em>
15/(s+2) + 15/s = [15s + 15(s+2)] / s² + 2s
B)
If s = 12
<em>Substitute s = 12 into the expression</em> :
[15(12) + 15(12+2)] / 12² + 2(12)
[180 + 210] / 144 + 24
390 / 168
= 2.32 hours
Therefore, the total time taken is 2.32 hours.
