I believe there is no such AP...

Recursively, this sequence is supposed to be given by

\begin{cases}a_1=8\\a_k=a_{k-1}+d&\text{for }k>1\end{cases}

so that

a_k=a_{k-1}+d=a_{k-2}+2d=\cdots=a_1+(k-1)d

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

33=8+(n-1)d

21=(n-1)d

n has to be an integer, which means there are 4 possible cases.

Case 1: n-1=1 and d=21. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^2(8+21(k-1))=37\neq123

Case 2: n-1=21 and d=1. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{22}(8+1(k-1))=407\neq123

Case 3: n-1=3 and d=7. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^4(8+7(k-1))=74\neq123

Case 4: n-1=7 and d=3. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^8(8+3(k-1))=148\neq123

How do you solve and simplify
DedPeter [7]
F(x) = 1/(x+2)   & g(x) = x/(x-3)


(f(x) + g(x) = 1/(x+2) + x/(x-3). Reduce to same denominator:

1/(x+2) + x/(x-3) =(x-3) + x(x-3)/(x+2).(x-3) ==> (x²+3x-3)/(x+2).(x-3)

Ty received test grades of 82%, 74%, 76%, 76%, and 74%.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

a) To earn C he needs at least 68 and less than 98

b) No, he couldn't make it.

Step-by-step explanation:

I. His avg value is (382 + x)/6

 I pick a random number and that gave

 (68 => to reach 75) and (98 => to reach 80)  

So that makes he needs at least 68 and less than 98

II. The reason why he cannot make it is

 if 100 is 100%

      =   (100 + 382)/6

      = 80.33 That's impossible to reach 90

Hope that help :)

Gain finds a skirt that she likes at the store for $45.99. If the tax rate is 5.8%, how much will the shirt cost in all
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

$48.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a good is the base cost plus tax. We are given the cost of the skirt, so all we need is the amount of tax. To find it, we multiple the cost of the  skirt by the tax rate:

45.99 * 0.058 = 2.67

We now add the tax to the cost of the skirt:

45.99 + 2.67 = 48.66

As you can see, we are adding the price of the skirt to 5.8% of the skirt's price, so we can also solve the problem by simply multiplying the cost by 1.058 as shown below:

45.99 * 1.058 = 48.66
