Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_1=S_1=3\cdot1^2+4\cdot1=3+4=7$

$a_1+a_2=S_2\\\\a_1+a_1+d=3\cdot2^2+4\cdot2\\\\7+7+d=3\cdot4+8\\\\14+d=12+8\\\\d=6\\\\\\a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=7+6(n-1)\\\\a_n=7+6n-6\\\\\underline{a_n=7n+1}$

$a_{20}=7\cdot20+1=141$

The floor of the cage measures 11 yardyard wide by 66 feetfeet long. One bag of shavings covers 55 square feetfeet. How many bag

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

3 3/5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the surface area of the floor of the cage first.

The cage measures 1 yard wide by 6 feet long.

1 yard = 3 feet

The floor of the cage is rectangular, so, the surface area of the floor of the cage is therefore:

3 * 6 = 18 square feet

One bag of shavings covers 5 square feet.

To find the number of bags we need to cover the floor, we divide the surface area of the floor by the number of bags per square feet.

The number of bags needed for the floor of the cage is therefore :

18 / 5 = 3 3/5 bags

You are choosing a song for your dance recital. Song A has 11 beats in 10 seconds. Song B has 7 beats in 6 seconds. Which song h

Pachacha [2.7K]

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.

How do I solve this question?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

p = $\frac{3}{2}$ , q = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² + 12x ( factor out 4 from each term )

= 4(x² + 3x)

Using the method of completing the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 3x

= 4(x² + 2( $\frac{3}{2}$ )x + $\frac{9}{4}$ - $\frac{9}{4}$ )

= 4(x + $\frac{3}{2}$ )² - 4 × $\frac{9}{4}$

= 4(x + $\frac{3}{2}$ )² - 9

Find the solution of the given initial value problem:<br><br> y''- y = 0, y(0) = 2, y'(0) = -1/2

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: The required solution of the given IVP is

$y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solution of the following initial value problem :

$y^{\prime\prime}-y=0,~~~y(0)=2,~~y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Let $y=e^{mx}$ be an auxiliary solution of the given differential equation.

Then, we have

$y^\prime=me^{mx},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mx}.$

Substituting these values in the given differential equation, we have

$m^2e^{mx}-e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m^2-1)e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow m^2-1=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mx}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow m^2=1\\\\\Rightarrow m=\pm1.$
