The graph of an arithmetic sequence is shown.

Mathematics
2 answers:
GalinKa [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The fifth term is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph

we have the ordered pairs

(1,5),(2,5.5),(3,6),(4,6.5),(5,7)

so

Let

a_1=5\\a_2=5.5\\a_3=6\\a_4=6.6\\a_5=7

The common difference in this arithmetic sequence is 0.5

The value of the fifth term is a_5

therefore

The fifth term is 7

Answer:

<h2>7 is the fifth term.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is showing five different terms: 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7,...

As you can observe, the sequence is growing by a difference of 0.5.

Therefore, the value of the fifth term in the arithmetic sequence is 7, which is represented by the last point.

A homeowner has 32 feet of fencing to build three sides of a rectangular chicken coup. One side of the chicken coup will be agai
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The ideal length is 16 feet

The ideal width is 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the fencing available to the homeowner = 32 feet

The number of sides of the rectangular chicken coup the fence will be applied = 3 sides

Let L represent the length and W, represent the width

Therefore, we have;

The perimeter of the fence = 2W + L = 32 feet

L = 32 - 2·W

The area is given by, A = Length, L × Width, W

A =   (32 - 2·W) × W = 32·W - 2·W²

Differentiating with respect to W and equating to 0 to find the maximum point gives;

dA/dW = d(32·W - 2·W²)/dW = 0

32 - 4·W = 0

4·W = 32

W = 32/4 = 8

W = 8 feet

Given that the sign of the variable in the equation of the derivative is negative, the value we get is the maximum point

The ideal width W = 8 feet

The length, L = 32 - 2·W = 32 - 2 × 8 = 16 feet

Therefore, the ideal length, L = 16 feet.

Find the distance from the point (1,4) to the line y = 1/3x - 3
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If I'm not mistaken, and I very well could be, this is a calculus problem(?). In order to find the distance without calculus you'd need a point on the given line to use to find the distance in the distance formula. But you don't have a point on the given line, so we can find the shortest distance between the point (1, 4) and the given line using the derivative of the polynomial formed when using the distance formula.

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} and we have the x and y for x2 (or x1...it doesn't matter which you choose to fill in):

d=\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(4-y)^2}

but what we find is that we have too many unknowns here, namely, the distance, the x coordinate, and the y coordinate. So we can replace the y coordinate with what y is equal to in terms of the linear equation:

d=\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(4-\frac{1}{3}x-3)^2 } and simplify:

d=\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(7-\frac{1}{3}x)^2 }

. No we'll expand each binomial by squaring:

d=\sqrt{(1-2x+x^2)+(49-\frac{14}{3}x+\frac{1}{9}x^2)  }

.  Combining like terms gives us

d=\sqrt{\frac{10}{9}x^2-\frac{20}{3}x+50  }

The distance between the point (1, 4) and the given line will be at a minimum when the polynomial above is at a minimum. We find the value of x for which the polynomial is at a minimum by finding its derivative, setting the derivative equal to 0, and then solving for x. The derivative of the polynomial is

\frac{20}{9}x-\frac{20}{3}

Setting equal to 0 and getting rid of the denominators gives us

20x - 60 = 0

Solving for x gives us

20x = 60 and x = 3.

That's the value of x that gives us the shortest distance between (1, 4) and the line y = 1/3x - 3. Sub into the distance formula that x value to find the distance:

d=\sqrt{(\frac{10}{9})(3)^2-(\frac{20}{3})(3)+50   }

which simplifies down, finally, to

x ≈ 6.325 units

Why is there always more than one parallelogram with the same area and base​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

If every line parallel to two lines intersects both regions in line segments of equal length, then the two regions have equal areas. In the case of your problem, every line parallel to the bases of the two parallelograms will intersect them in lines segments, each with a width of ℓ.
