Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Since it is AP, the common difference is same for any term:</u>

  • (4x - 2) - (x + 1) = (6x - 3) - (4x - 2)
  • 3x - 3 = 2x -1
  • 3x - 2x = 3 - 1
  • x= 2

<u>The first 3 terms are:</u>

  • 3, 6, 9

<u>Since the last term is 18, it means this AP has 6 terms:</u>

  • {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}

<u>Answer: </u>as we need to find the value of x only, it is = 2

The graph models the daily high temperature, H(t), in Santiago, Chile, t days after the hottest day of the year. What does the p
alekssr [168]
For this case we have a function of the form:
 H (t)
 Where,
 t: number of days
 H: the daily high temperature
 We have the point (0.29).
 It means that the hottest day of the year had a temperature of 29 degrees.
 Answer:
 
the hottest day of the year had a temperature of 29 degrees.

The figure below is a square. Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal forms two 45-45-90 triangles, with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both. The Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and a and b are the two legs of the triangle.

From the Isosceles Base Theorem, the two legs of a 45-45-90 triangle are always equal. Since we're given a diagonal of \sqrt{5}, we have:

x^2+x^2=\sqrt{5}^2,\\2x^2=5,\\x^2=\frac{5}{2},\\x=\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}}

1. The zeros of a quadratic relation are 3 and The second differences are positive
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The optimal, vertex, value will be a minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

The given zeros of the quadratic relation are 3 and 3

The sign of the second differences of the quadratic relation = Positive

Whereby the two zeros are the same as x = 3, we have that the point 3 is the optimal value or vertex (the repeated point in the graph of the quadratic relation) of the quadratic relation

Whereby, the table of values for the quadratic relation from which the second difference is found starts from x = 3, we have;

To the right of the coordinate points of the zeros of the quadratic relation, the positive second difference in y-values gives as x increases, y increases which gives a positive slope

By the nature of the quadratic graph, the slope of the line to the left of the coordinate point of the zeros of the quadratic relation will be of opposite sign (or negative). The quadratic relation is cup shaped and the zeros, therefore, the optimal value will be a minimum of the quadratic relation
