Answer:

Function representing the sequence will be f(n) = (23 - 3n)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first five terms of an arithmetic sequence are as 20, 17, 14, 11, 8....

Let n represents the number of term and f(n) the the term in the sequence.

Then we have to find the function that represents the sequence.

As we know explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence is given by

T_{n}=a+(n-1)d Or the function representing the sequence will be

f(n) = a + (n-1)d

where a represents first term of the sequence a = 20

and common difference d = 17-20 = (-3).

Now the function which represents this sequence will be

f(n) = 20 + (n-1)(-3) = 20 - 3n + 3 = 23 - 3n

Answer: 17 -3n

Explanation:

In the given arithmetic progression 20,17,14,11,8....

first term that is a = 20

common difference that  is d=  a2-a1 = 17-20 = -3

let n is the nth term

a_{n} = a+(n-1)d

substituting the values of first, common,difference and n

a_{n} =20+(n-1) (-3)

                        = 20 -3n+3

                         =23 -3n

If h(x) = 5x - 3 and j(x) = -2x, solve hlj(2)] and select the correct answer below. (1 point)
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

-23

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the functions;

h(x) = 5x - 3 and j(x) = -2x

Now, we want to find h[j(2)]

j(2) = -2(2)

j(2) = -4

Thus;

h(-4) = 5(-4) - 3

h(-4) = -20 - 3

h(-4) = - 23

An airplane pilot can see the top of a traffic control tower at a 20 degree angle of depression. the airplane is 5,000 feet away
daser333 [38]

The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.

Let the required length be x, then

\tan{20^o}=\cfrac{opp}{hyp}=\cfrac{x}{5,000}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=5,000\tan{20^o}=1,819.85

Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.

Solve the equation.<br> 5(5x + 1) = 3x - 9x<br> x=<br> (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
pogonyaev

Answer:

x = -5/31

Step-by-step explanation:

5(5x + 1) = 3x - 9x multiply 5 with the inside of the parenthesis, 5(5x + 1) = 25x + 5

25x + 5 = 3x - 9x add the like terms, 31x = -5 and x = -5/31

Simplify.<br> (w^2 + 3w)-(w^2+5w-4<br><br> 8w-4<br> 2w^2 +8w-4<br> -2w+4<br> -2w
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

-2w + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove parenthesis because they make life semi-confusing but remember to distribute the negative: w^2 + 3w -w^2 - 5w + 4

Combine like terms: w^2 - w^2 cancel out ; 3w - 5w = -2w ; 4

-2w + 4

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

4(x - 1) = 6(x + 3)

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents “the number” so we would substitute this with a variable.
