Let the larger number = y and the smaller number = x.

 

The largest number is 10 less than twice the smaller number.  Remember that less than means subtract the 10 from the other amount while twice means multiply by two.  Therefore,

 

y = 2x - 10

 

The sum of the two numbers is 38.  Remember sum means add the two numbers to get their result.  Therefore,

 

x + y = 38

 

Since y = 2x - 10, we rewrite the lower equation as:

 

x + (2x - 10) = 38

 

Solving:

 

3x - 10 = 38

3x = 48

x = 16

 

The lesser number is 16 and the greater number is 2(16) - 10 or 22.

Which is the recursive formula for this arithmetic sequence? an = an – 1 7 where a1 = –10 an = an – 1 17 where a1 = –10 an = 7an
Svetradugi [14.3K]

The recursive form of an arithmetic sequence is \rm a_n = a_{n-1} + 7, where the first term a₁ = –10. Then the correct option is A.

What is a sequence?

A sequence is a list of elements that have been ordered in a sequential manner, such that members come either before or after.

We know that the formula of recursive for an arithmetic sequence is given as

\rm a_n = a_{n-1} + d

Let the first value be -10. and the common difference is 7.

Then the arithmetic sequence will be

\rm a_n = a_{n-1} + 7,\ where \ a_1 = -10

More about the sequence link is given below.

Write an equation for a line that passes through the points (0,-4) and (1,3)
stich3 [128]
We can actually make two equations here, slope-intercept form and point slope form. Firstly, we need to find the slope. We do that by finding the difference of the y coordinates, and then dividing that by the difference of the x coordinates. 3-(-4)/1-0 is 7. Our slope is 7, slope is m.

Point slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1). We only need to worry about y1 and x1. Let’s plug our x and y values in. y - (-4) = 7(x - 0). Next, we should simplify this. y + 4 = 7x. Next, we need to isolate y. We do this by subtracting four from both sides. y = 7x - 4

Our point slope form equation is y - (-4) = 7(x-0), and our slope-intercept form is y = 7x - 4. Keep in mind that 7 is our slope, or m, and -4 is our y-intercept.

Which of these r-value represents the weakest correlation?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The value of r=0.2 represents  the weakest correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Strongest correlation states that a linear relationship is indicated by a correlation coefficient of -1 or 1.

Weakest correlation states that a linear relationship is indicated by a correlation coefficient equal to 0 or if the value is nearest to 0, then it also represents the weakest correlation.

From the options, the only r-value that is very close to 0 is 0.2.

Therefore, the r-value represents the weakest correlation is, 0.2
