Check the forward differences of the sequence.
If
, then let
be the sequence of first-order differences of
. That is, for n ≥ 1,

so that
.
Let
be the sequence of differences of
,

and we see that this is a constant sequence,
. In other words,
is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

and we can solve for
in terms of
:



and so on down to

We solve for
in the same way.

Then



and so on down to


So the object of this problem is to find out the value of d.
To do this, first think about 5 + 3. This equals 8, right? So the value of d times 4 has to equal 8.
No other number besides 2 would make sense. 2 would equal d because 4 x 2 is 8, and 5 + 3 is 8.
So you would write the answer as:
5+3=4(2)
Kinetic energy is in movement, so the answer is obviously the cheetah running :)
This is a problem for 2 equations and 2 unknown.
so let x be the number of adults in the breakfast
y be the number of children present in the breakfast
so the total people attended is 500, in equation form
x + y = 500
and the total sales made by disney is $ 7355, in equation
17.95x + 12.95y = 7355
so we can solve the equation simultaneously so solve for the values of x and y
so the number of adults at the breakfast x = 176 adults and y = 324 children
Well, first let's identify which answers are incorrect, then it will be easier to figure out which are correct.
A. Equilateral: An equilateral triangle is a triangle with 3 equal sides. Since there are 180 degrees in a triangle, an equilateral triangle would have three sides of 60 degrees, and none of 45 degrees. Answer? Incorrect.
B. Isosceles: An isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal. 45 and 45 are equal, therefore, this answer is: Correct!
C. Scalene: A scalene triangle has three unequal sides, therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D. Obtuse: An obtuse triangle has one angle that is more than 90 degrees, therefore, since 45 and 45 equal 90 already, this answer is: incorrect.
E. Right: A right triangle has one right angle (angle that equals 90 degrees) since 45 + 45 = 90, and 90 + 90 = 180, this answer is: Correct!
F. Equiangular: This last choice is practically the same as the first, therefore the answer is: incorrect.
The two correct answers are: B Isosceles, and E Right!
