ok, so IDK why my answer was deleted even though it was correct but here goes. it would be nice if you comment to ask me to fix what's wrong instead of just deleting the answer




1st odd number is 1

2nd odd number is 3

3rd odd number is 5

it seems like the mod did not like my method so we will try to find an aritmetic sequence since each term increases by the same amount

the formula for an aritmetic sequence is a_n=a_1+d(n-1) where

a_n is the nth term (you can also write f(n) if you need a function)

a_1 is the first term

d is the common differnce or how much each term increases by (d=a_n-a_{n-1})

n is the counter to tell us what term we are on



so

1st term is 1 so a_1=1

each term increases by 5-3=2 and 3-1=2, by 2, so d=2

therefore, a_n=1+2(n-1)

the 137th term would be a_{137}=1+2(137-1)

a_{137}=1+2(136)

a_{137}=1+272

a_{137}=273

the 137th odd number is 273

The first odd number is 1. The next is 2 more than the previous one.

It's an arithmetic sequence.

The general term of an arithmetic sequence:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

a_n - n-th term

a_1 - first term

d - common difference.

We have

a_1=1,\ d=2,\ n=137

Substitute:

a_{137}=1+(137-1)(2)=1+(136)(2)=1+272=273

<h3>Answer: 137th odd number is equal 273.</h3>

9. Evaluate the ceiling function for the given value.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Given:

A. f(x) = ⌈x⌉; x = −7.4

B. g(x) = ceiling (x, 0.50);  x = 21.27

To find:

The values of ceiling function for the given value.

Solution:

A.

We have,

f(x) = ⌈x⌉; x = −7.4

Here, f(x) is a ceiling function, so we need to find the nearest next integer value because if m < x ≤ n, then ⌈x⌉ = n, where m and n are integers.

Now,

f(-7.4) = ⌈-7.4⌉

f(-7.4) = -7

Therefore, the value of f(x) is -7 at x=-7.4.

B.

g(x) = ceiling (x, 0.50);  x = 21.27

Here, g(x) is a ceiling function with 0.50, so we need to find the nearest next multiple of 0.50 because if m < x ≤ n, then ⌈x⌉ = n, where, m and n are multiples of 0.50.

Now,

g(21.27) = ceiling (21.27, 0.50)

g(21.27) = 21.50

Therefore, the value of g(x) is 21.50 at x=21.27.

Hi math question is in the picture pls help
STatiana [176]

Answer:

View Image. The red one is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Your first goal is to solve for x.

Once you have the inequality for x alone, graph both of it.

Only keep the parts where both inequality overlap each others.
