The smallest of two integers is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller integer

Then the next integer will be:

x+1

According to given statement that the sum of both is 123

$x+ (x+1) = 123\\x+x+1=123\\2x+1=123$

Subtracting 1 from both sides

$2x+1-1=123-1\\2x=122$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{122}{2}\\x=61$

The smallest of two integers is 61

Quadrilateral LMNO has diagonals that intersect at point P. If LP=NP, MP = y + 25, and OP = 5y + 29, find the length of MO such

cupoosta [38]

I saw the image of this problem.

For the quadrilateral to be parallelogram, MP = PO

MP = y + 25
PO = 5y + 29

y + 25 = 5y + 29
y - 5y = 29 - 25
-4y = 4
y = 4/-4
y = -1

MO = MP + OP
MO = y + 25 + 5y + 29
MO = -1 + 25 + 5(-1) + 29
MO = -1 + 25 - 5 + 29
MO = -6 + 54
MO = 48 Choice B.

Woo-Jin and Kiran were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence 64\,,\,16\,,\,4\,,\,1,...64,16,4,1,...64, comma, 16, c

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$f(n)=64(\frac{1}{4})^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

64, 16, 4, 1

$r_1=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{16}{64}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

$r_2=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{4}{16}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

$r_3=\dfrac{a_4}{a_3}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

It is a geometric series because it has a common ratio $r_1=r_2=r_3=\dfrac{1}{4}$ .

First term is 64.

The explicit formula of a geometric series is

$f(n)=ar^{n-1}$

where, a is first term and r is common ratio.

Substitute a=64 and r=1/4 in the above function.

$f(n)=64(\frac{1}{4})^{n-1}$

Therefore, the required explicit formula is $f(n)=64(\frac{1}{4})^{n-1}$ .

tinku is fond of collecting spiders and insects. He knows spiders have 8 legs and insects have 6 legs. he counted 36 legs. How m

kvasek [131]

Let, number of spiders = x
number of insects = y

6x + 8y = 36

remember, legs can't be in fraction or decimal.

So, only (3, 2) fits with that.

So, there are 3 spiders & 2 insects in his collection.

Hope this helps!

Find the slope of the line that contains (10,-1) and (-8,6)

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

the slope of the line that passes throught (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

given

(-4,3) and (-8,6)

slop=(6-3)/(-8-(-4))=(3)/(-8+4)=3/-4=-3/4

slope is -3/4
