I have a word problem with a pattern. I just can't figure it out. - On the first night, Kim's mom gave her a nickel, on the seco

nd, she gave her five nickels, on the third, she gave her fourteen nickels and on the fourth night she gave her thirty nickels. Her mother asked Kim to figure out what she would receive on the tenth night. - I know this must be easy, but I just don't see it.

1st night Nickel - 5 pennies
2nd night 5 nickels - 25 pennies
3rd night 14 nickels - 70 pennies
4th night 30 nickels - 150 pennies
5th night 46 nickels
6th night 78 nickels
7th night 126 nickels
8th night 206 nickels
9th night 334 nickels
10th night 542 nickels

So her mother would give Kim 542 nickels on the 10th night.

Differences between number of nickels: 4, 9, 16

9 - 4 = 5
16 - 9 = 7

The pattern is Kim's mom gives her child two more nickels plus the amount of nickels she got the day before.

This was a little tricky so I don't know if this is right but I hope this helps you!

14α - (2a + 9) = 3 (12a - 18)
Leona [35]

Answer:

a = 2 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

14a - (2a + 9) = 3 (12a - 18)

14a - 2a + 9 = 36a - 54

12a + 9 = 36a - 54

12a - 36a = -54 - 9

-24a = -63

a = -63/-24

a = 21/8

a = 2 5/8

I NEED HELP WITH THIS PLEASE HELP ME
vekshin1

Answer:

156 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to create an equation to represent how Frank's phone company bills him

  • I will denote "y" as the total for his bill
  • I will denote "x" as the number of minutes Frank uses

So the phone company charges an $8 monthly fee, so this value remains constant and will be our "y-intercept"

They then charge $0.06 for every minute he talks, this will be our "slope"

Combining everything into an equation, we have: y = 0.06x + 8

Now since we were given Franks phone bill total and want to figure out how many minutes he used, we just need to solve the equation for x and plug in our known y value

  • y = 0.06x + 8 → y - 8 = 0.06x → x=\frac{y-8}{0.06}
  • Then plugging in our y value we get x=\frac{17.36-8}{0.06}=\frac{9.36}{0.06}= 156

Frank used up a total of 156 minutes

Nutka1998 [239]

Step-by-step explanation:

try the option shown in the attachment.

Finally,

A(-2-\sqrt{3};0);

B(-1-\sqrt{7};3-2\sqrt{7});

C(-2+\sqrt{3};0);

D(-1+\sqrt{7};3+2\sqrt{7});

E(0;5);

F(-\frac{5}{2};0);

G(-2;-5).

in order to calculate the points E & F it is needed to solve the equations y=2*0+5 and 2x+5=0;

in order to calculate the vertex G it is needed to find x-coordinate:

x=(-4)/(2*1)=-2 and to substitute x=-2 into y=x²+4x-1 (y=-5).
