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!

Match each statement to the reasons for the geometric proof. Part 3​
jarptica [38.1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4 1 5 3 6 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general approach to this proof is to show the triangles created by the diagonal are congruent. Then, parts of those triangles (opposite sides) are congruent. The congruence of the triangles is shown by making use of the fact that alternate interior angles are congruent, and the diagonal is congruent to itself. Thus, you have two angles and the side between shown as congruent, and can invoke the ASA postulate.

The steps of the proof (1 to 6) are already in order. The task is to find the geometric relation the step is describing from the list on the left.

__

Statements A to F on the left match with numbered statements 1 to 6 on the right as follows:

A - 4 (reflexive prop)

B - 1 (given)

C - 5 (ASA)

D - 3 (alt int angle)

E - 6 (the end point of the proof)

F - 2 (definition)

What number is 120% of 70
kaheart [24]

70/x=100/120
(70/x)*x=(100/120)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
70=0.833333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.833333333333) to get x
70/0.833333333333=x
84=x
x=84

now we have:

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I will give brainliest I promise only if it’s correct and if it’s not I will report because this is very impor
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Price of 8 pack of toothbrushes = $ 18.12

Price he paid after using coupon  = 18.12 - 3  = $ 15.12

Unit rate = Price he paid ÷ number of toothbrushes

              = 15.12 ÷ 8

              = $ 1.89

2) 0.5 hours = 30 minutes

Duration of guitar class on Monday = 30 minutes

Duration of guitar class on Tuesday = 1.5 hours = 1 hr 30 min

Duration of guitar class on Thursday = 2 hrs

Total duration  = 30 min + 1hr 30 min + 2 hrs

                         = 4 hrs

Amount paid for 4 hrs = $ 180

Rate per hour = 180 ÷ 4

                       = $ 45
