Answer:

t(n) = 2n² + n - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given sequence: </u>

  • 0, 7, 18, 33, 52

Find the formula for nth term t(n)

<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric, analyzing:</u>

  • 0, 7, 18, 33, 52

<u>First level difference</u>

  • 7, 11, 15, 19

<u>Second level difference</u>

  • 4, 4, 4

<u>As there are two levels, the formula should be in the form of:</u>

  • t(n) = an² + bn + c

<u>Trying the formula with the known terms:</u>

  • t(1) = 0 ⇒ a+b + c= 0
  • t(2) = 4a + 2b + c = 7 ⇒ 3a + b = 7
  • t(3) = 9a + 3b + c = 18 ⇒ 3(3a+b) + c = 18 ⇒ 21 + c = 18 ⇒ c = -3

<u>Going back to previous equations to find remaining coefficients:</u>

  • t(1) ⇒ a+ b = 3 ⇒ t(2) = 2a + (a+b) = 7 ⇒2a + 3 = 7 ⇒ a= 2 ⇒ b = 1

<u>So the formula becomes:</u>

t(n) = 2n² + n - 3

What is the arc length of the subtending arc for an angle of 72 degrees on a circle of radius 4?
shepuryov [24]
First, determine the circumference (C) of the circle, the equation,
                                           C = 2πr
Substituting the value or the radius,
                                    C = 2π ( 4) = 8π
The arc length is the product of the circumference and the ratio between the subtended angle and 360. The mathematical expression is already,
                              S = (8π) x (72 / 360) = 0.8π 
Thus, the arc is 0.80π.

Use the GCF and distributive property to write 24 + 40 as a product.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

24 + 40 = 8*(3 + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of:

24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14

40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40

the prime factors:

24: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

40: 2 * 2 * 2 * 5

The most shared factors are (2*2*2=8)

Factoring out 8 we have:

24 + 40 = 8*(3 + 5)

A portion of a hiking trail slopes upward at about a 6° angle. To the nearest
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

12.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

The slope is also the tangent of the angle of the opposite side (rise) divided by the adjacent side (run)

In this problem

we have

m=tan(6^o)

run=120\ ft

rise=?

substitute

tan(6^o)=\frac{rise}{120}

rise=tan(6^o)(120)=12.6\ ft

In Oklahoma the state sales tax rate is 7%. If
Nat2105 [25]

Write 7% as a decimal by dividing by 100:

7/100 = 0.07

Multiple the price of the mower by the decimal:

350 x 0.07 = 24.50

The tax = $24.50
