Answer:

So the formula for the sequence is

Second term =first term + (a+nd)

Third term = second term + (a+nd)

And so on

Where n start with zero

Step-by-step explanation:

3 8 17 30 47

First term = 3

Second term = 8

Third term = 17

Fourth term = 30

Fifth term = 47

Second term - first term = 8-3=5

Third term - second term = 17-8= 9

Fourth term - third term = 30-17=13

Fifth term - fourth term = 47-30=17

So the AP is 5 9 13 17

We find out that the common difference is 9-5 = 4

The formula for nth term of the AP is

= a + nd

So the formula fir the sequence is

Second term =first term + (a+nd)

Third term = second term + (a+nd)

And so on

Where n start with zero

In Art class, there was a bucket of markers on the counter with nine blue, six green, and ten orange markers. Each student will

Oxana [17]

Answer: 19/25

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 25 markers in total and 6 of them are green. The odds of a student not getting a green marker would be the number of markers that aren’t green out of 25

25 - 6 = 19

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Area of a right triangle, (as any other triangle), is calculated as: $A1=\frac{(base)(height)}{2}$

Area of a rectangle is calculated as: $A2=(side)(side)$

Area of a right trapezoid is: $A3=\frac{(a+b)h}{2}$ , where:

a is short base

b is long base

h is height

1) Expressing areas in terms of x:

Area of triangle S1:

$S1=\frac{(2x-3)(4x-6)}{2}$

$S1=4x^{2}-12x+9$

Area of rectangle S2:

$S2 = (4x-6)(3x-2)$

$S2=12x^{2}-26x+12$

Area of trapezoid S3:

$S3=\frac{(2x+3+4x+1)(2x-3)}{2}$

$S3=\frac{(6x+4)(2x-3)}{2}$

$S3=6x^{2}-5x-6$

2) a) $S=4x^{2}-12x+9+12x^{2}-26x+12-(6x^{2}-5x-6)$

$S=4x^{2}-12x+9+12x^{2}-26x+12-6x^{2}+5x+6$

$S=10x^{2}-33x+37$

Which is the same as S = (2x-3)(5x-9)

b) For the areas to be the same:

$\frac{(3x-2+3x-2+2x-3)(4x-6)}{2}=\frac{(6x+4)(2x-3)}{2}$

$\frac{(8x-7)(4x-6)}{2}=\frac{(6x+4)(2x-3)}{2}$

$32x^{2}-48x-28x+42=12x^{2}+8x-18x-12$

$20x^{2}-66x+54=0$

Using Bhaskara to solve the second degree equation:

$\frac{66+\sqrt{(-66)^{2}-(4.20.54)} }{2(20)}$

$x_{1}=\frac{66+6}{40}$ = 1.8

$x_{2}=\frac{66-6}{40}$ = 1.5

For the areas of AFGC and ADEB to be equal, x has to be 1.5 or 1.8.

c) Expand a polynomial (or equation) is to multiply all the terms, remiving the parenthesis. Reduce a polynomial (or equation) is to combine terms alike,e.g.:

$S=(2x-3)(5x-9)$
