Common difference (d) = - 14-(-17)

d = -14+17
d = 3...

Tn = -17+(n-1)3

Tn = - 17+3(n-1)

Answer: a_n=-17+3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Arithmetic sequence : -17, -14, -11, -8, ...

Here the first term , a_1=-17

Common difference : d=-14-(-17)=3

The formula to find the nth term is given by :-

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

i.e.  a_n=-17+3(n-1)

Hence, the equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence :-

a_n=-17+3(n-1)

Evan tosses a ball from the roof of a building. The path of the ball can be modelled
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Please find attached sketch of the path of the ball, having plot area and plot points, created with MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

Question;

The equation representing the path of the ball obtained from a similar question posted online are;

h₁ = -4·(t + 1)·(t - 5), h₂ = -4·(t - 2)² + 36, h₃ = -4··t² + 16·t + 20

The above equations represent the same path

The equation, h₁ = -4·(t + 1)·(t - 5), gives the roots of the height function, h(t), used in determining the height of the ball after time <em>t</em>

At (t + 1) = 0 (t = -1) or at (t - 5) = 0 (t = 5), the ball is at ground level

The ball reaches the ground, is at ground level at t = 1, and at t = 5 seconds after being tossed, where h(t) = 0

The equation of the path of the ball in vertex form, y = a·(x - 2)² + k, is h₂ = -4·(t - 2)² + 36, where, by comparison, we have;

The vertex of the ball = The maximum height reached by the ball  = (h, k) = (2, 36)

The coefficient of the quadratic term, t², is negative, therefore, the shape of the parabola is upside down, ∩, shape

The sketch of the path of the ball created with MS Excel, used in plotting the vertex, the initial value and the root points of the parabola, through which the ball passes and joining of the points with a 'smooth' curve is attached

Solve for x,y, and z
Lostsunrise [7]
Equation 1)  3x + 2y - 5z = 3
Equation 2)  4x - 2y - 3z = -10
Equation 3)  5x - 2y - 2z = -11

Add equation 1 with equation 2.

Equation 4)  7x - 8z = 7

Then subtract equation 3 from equation 2.

Equation 5)  -x -z = 1

Multiply all of equation 5 with 7.

5)  -7x - 7z = 7
4)  7x - 8z = 7

Add equations together.

z = 14

Plug in 14 for z in equation 4.

7x - 8z = 7

7x - 8(14) = 7

7x - 112 = 7

7x = 119

x = 17

Plug in 17 for x in equation 1, and 14 for z.

1)  3x + 2y - 5z = 3

3(17) + 2y - 5(14) = 3

51 + 2y - 70 = 3

2y - 19 = 3

2y = 22

y = 11

So, x = 17, y = 11, and z = 14

~Hope I helped!~

A business's total sales, including a 5% tax, were $23,152.81. Calculate the actual sales and sales tax liability
irina1246 [14]
If the total sales are $23152.81 and the sales tax is 5%, take the total sales divided by 1.05 $23152.81/1.05 = $22050.30 (gaves you the sales) to get the sales tax, subtract the total sales from the sales= Sales are $22050.30Tax is $1102.51 hope this helps :)
