<h3>Answer: an = 6n - 15 (Choice C)</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

This sequence is arithmetic

The first term is a = -9

The common difference is d = 6 since we're adding 6 to each term to get the next one (eg: -3+6 = 3 or 3+6 = 9 or 9+6 = 15)

Plug those values into the arithmetic nth term formula below

an = a + d*(n-1)

an = -9 + 6*(n-1)

an = -9 + 6n-6

an = 6n - 15

--------------

As a check, let's plug in something like n = 1

an = 6n - 15

a1 = 6*1 - 15

a1 = 6 - 15

a1 = -9

We see that the 1st term is -9, which matches the sequence given

Now let's plug in n = 2

an = 6n - 15

a2 = 6*2 - 15

a2 = 12 - 15

a2 = -3

The 2nd term is -3. This also matches.

I'll let you check the other values of n to confirm the answer.

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 1919 ft wide and 2727 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor a

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The dimension of the rug would be 17 ft × 9 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

length of the room = 27 ft.

width of the room = 19 ft.

suppose, she leaves a uniform strip of x ft. around the rug.

So,

The length of rug = (27-2x)ft.

Width of rug= (19-2x)ft.

∴ Area of the rug= length×width

$= (27-2x)(19-2x)$

$= 513-54x-38x+4x^2$

$= 513-92x+4x^2$

According to the question,

$513-92x+4x^2=153$

$513-92x+4x^2-153=0$ ( subtract 153 both sides)

$4x^2-92x+360=0$

$4(x^2-23x+90)=0$

$x^2-23x+90=0$

$x^2-(18+5)x+90=0$ ( Middle term splitting)

$x^2-18x-5x+90=0$

$x(x-18)-5(x-18)=0$

$(x-5)(x-18)=0$

$x-5=0$ or $x-18=0$ ( zero product property)

$x=5$ or $x=18$

if x=18, dimension would be negative ( Not possible)

Thus, x= 5

Hence,

length of rug= 27-10=17 ft.

width of rug= 19-10=9 ft.

You want to compare the square root of 55 using "mental math". Start off by choosing two perfect squares that you can think of that are close to 55.

If you don't know perfect squares then start with the number 2 and multiply it by itself. 2 times 2 equals 4, so 4 is a perfect square.

Take the number 3, multiply it by itself, and so on. Do this for all the numbers until you find two perfect squares that are close to 55.

The two perfect squares closest to 55 are the square roots of 49 and 64. Find the square root of these numbers.

√49 = 7

√64 = 8

Calculate how far 55 is from 49 and 64. 55 is 6 digits away from 49 and 9 digits away from 64.

This means the square root of 55 will be closer to the square root of 49; 7. Since we know that it will be closer to 7, you can put the less than sign for your answer.

√55 < 7.7

(The actual square root of 55 is ~7.4, so we were correct in determining the answer without using a calculator!)
