Answer:

a(n) = 3n - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence = a1 + d(n - 1)  where a1 = the first term and d = the common difference.

So here we  have:

a3 = 7 = a1 + 2d

a5 = 13 = a1 + 4d

Rewriting:

a1 + 4d = 13

a1 + 2d = 7  

Subtracting,  we eliminate a1:

2d = 6

d = 3

and a1 = 7 - 2(3)

= 1.

So our equation we can use to find any term is

a(n) = 1 + 3(n - 1)

a(n) = 1 + 3n - 3

a(n) = 3n - 2 (answer).

Checking :

3rs term = 3(3) - 2 = 7.

5th term = 3(5) - 2 = 13.

First term = 3(1) - 2 = 1.

For questions 1 – 6, find the area of the circle to the nearest hundredth.<br> Any help appriciated!
Ganezh [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by :

A = πr²

r is the radius of the circle

(4) Diameter = 22 cm

Since, radius = diameter/2

r = 11 cm

Now, area of the circle,

A=\pi \times (11)^2\\\\A=380.13\ cm^2

(5) Diameter = 30 cm

Since, radius = diameter/2

r = 15 cm

Now, area of the circle,

A=\pi \times (15)^2\\\\A=706.85\ cm^2

(6) Diameter = 4cm

Since, radius = diameter/2

r = 2 cm

Now, area of the circle,

A=\pi \times (2)^2\\\\A=12.56\ cm^2

So, the area of circles 4,5 and 6 are 380.13², 706.85² and 12.56² respectively.

A package of balloons contains 5 green, 3 yellow, 4 red, and 8 pink balloons. Suppose you reach in the package and choose one ba
Marianna [84]

Probability of choosing pink balloon is  \frac{2}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of green balloons = 5

Number of yellow balloons = 3

Number of red balloons = 4

Number of pink balloons = 8

Total number of balloons = 5+3+4+8 = 20

To find the probability of pink balloon.

Formula

Probability of an even = number of outcomes ÷ total number of outcomes

So,

Probability of choosing pink balloon = \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}

2. There are some benches in a classroom. If 4 students sit on each bench then 3 benches
NARA [144]

Answer: There are 48 students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students = S

Let the number of benches = B

<em>If 4 students sit on each bench, 3 benches are left vacant.</em>

S = 4(B - 3)

S = 4·B - 12 } Equation 1

<em>If 3 students sit on each bench, 3 students still standing.</em>

S = 3·B + 3 } Equation 2

We can match the two equations because they both indicate the same number of students.

4B - 12 = 3·B + 3

on solving this

4·B - 3·B = 3 + 12

B = 15 → number of benches

That is the number of benches, therefore substituting the value for B in equation 1

S = 4·B - 12 Equation 1

S = 4·15 -12

S = 60 - 12 = 48 → number of students

Answer: There are 48 students in the class.

<h3>Verification</h3>

There are 48 students and 15 benches.

<em>If 4 students sit on each bench, 3 benches are left vacant.</em>

48students ÷ 4students/bench = 12 benches are occupied and left 3 vacant benches.

<em>If 3 students sit on each bench, 3 students still standing.</em>

<h3 />

15benches * 3 students/bench = 45 students are sitting and 3 students remain standing.
