Aruthmetic
an=a1+d(n-1)
a1=4
5th is 16
a5=4+d(5-1)=16
16=4+d(4)
minus 4
12=d(4)
divide 4
3=d

an=4+3(n-1)
an=4+3n-3
an=4-3+3n
an=1+3n

If the 5th term is stated, all you need to do is plug in 5 for the n value, as it represents the 5th term. The only equation that holds true for the 5th terms being 16 is B. 3n+1
1st term = 3(1)+1 = 4
2nd term = 3(2) +1 = 7
3rd term = 3(3) +1 = 10
4th term = 3(4) +1 = 13
5th term = 3(5)+1 = 16

Correct answer is B. 3n+1

In a certain quiz that consists of 10 questions, each question after the first is worth 4 points more than the preceding questio
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

C. 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s suppose that the first question is worth ‘’x’’ amount of points. Then the second question will be worth x+4, the third question x+8, the fourth question x+12, the fifth x+ 16, the sixth x+20, the seventh x+24, the eighth x+ 28, the ninth x+ 32, and the last one x + 36.

The sum of the points of all these questions is equal to 10x + 180. Since the quiz has a total of 360 points, then

10x + 180 = 360.

Solving for x we get:

X = 18.

This means that the first question is worth 18 points, the second one 22 points (18 +4), the third one 26 points(18+4+4), and so on.

iris [78.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

soln;

p=25000

t=3 years

r=6%

now,

Pt=p(1+\frac{r}{100}) ^{t} \\

   =25000(1+6/100)^3

   =29775.4

Therefore, the population of a town after 3 years will be 29775.4

Which company has the greatest rate of change? Explain how this would affect the slope when graphed on a coordinate plane.
Andrej [43]

The rate of change in a linear equation of the form:

c=my+b

is m. This means that for carpet company A the rate of change is 1.35 and for company B the rate of change is 2.05.

Therefore, company B has the greatest rate of change.

The rate of change is the same as the slope in a line. This means that the greater the rate of change is the faster the line will grow. This can be seen in the following graph:

where the red line is the graph for company A and the blue line is the graph for company B.
