i need help with this questions asap please. A grocery clerk is making a display of oranges. The numbers of oranges in the layer

s of the display form a sequence, with the top layer counting as layer 1. The explicit rule f(n) = (n + 1)2 describes this sequence, where n is a whole number greater than 0. Will 50 oranges be enough to complete the top 4 layers of the display?

Answer:

If there is 1 at the top, then you have 1, then 2, then 3, etc.

total number of oranges equals:

1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 16 + 17 + 18 <-- stop at  18 because this is the number of oranges at the base

You can use the formula:

sum of first n numbers = n*(n + 1)/2

-->

18*19/2 = 9*19 = 171

or you can figure it out (basically derive the above formula):

you have:

1 + 18 = 19

2 + 17 = 19

3 + 16 = 19

...

How many pairs do you have?  Well, it's just the number of numbers: 1-18 = 18 numbers (divide by 2) = 9 pairs)

9 pairs of 19 = 9 * 19 = 171

Hope this helps!

A triangle has an exterior angle with a measure of 120°. Can you determine the measures of the interior angles? Explain.
worty [1.4K]
If the exterior angle is 120 degrees, you subtract 120 degrees from 360 degrees (the two angles form a circle) and get 240 degrees.
This is not a possible angle for a triangle because the angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees. Also, angles in triangles can’t be more than 180 degrees

the equation of the line a is given as y = -3/4 x -2. Suppose the line a is parallel to line b and lime t is perpendicular to li
Burka [1]

Answer: The equation for line b is y = -\frac{3}{4}x  + 5

The equation for line t is y= \frac{4}{3} x+5

The attachment shows the original line in green, the parallel line b in red, and the perpendicular line t in blue.

Step-by-step explanation: Use slope intercept form, y = mx + b

The given coordinate, (0,5) is on the y-axis, so  5 will be the y-intercept of the equation. Keep the slope of the original equation and substitute the new value for "b"  

To write the equation for line t

Both lines share the y-intercept, (0,5) so the "b" term will be the same. The slope of a perpendicular line is the reciprocal of the original slope with the opposite sign.

So invert 3/4 to become 4/3 and change the negative sign to positive.

The resulting equation is y = 4x/3 + 5

Based on the tables, at what point do the lines y = 3x - 2 and y = -5x - 10 intersect?
Pepsi [2]
Intersect at where x=x and y=y
see where they have the same x and y values
that is at x=-1 and y=-5
intersect at (-1,-5)

Square T was translated by the rule (x + 2, y + 2) and then dilated from the origin by a scale factor of 3 to create square T″.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to know the following:

<u> Dilation:</u>

  • Transformation in which the image has the same shape as the pre-image, but the size changes.
  • Dilation preserves betweenness of points.
  •  Angle measures do not change.

<u>Translation:</u>

  • Transformation in which the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image.
  • Translation preserves betweenness of points.
  • Angle measures do not change.

Therefore, since the Square T was translated and then dilated to create Square T'', we can conclude that the statement that explains why  they are similar is:

<em>Translations and dilations preserve betweenness of points; therefore, the corresponding sides of squares T and T″ are proportional.</em>
