The 30th term of the given sequence is 82.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of an Arithmetic Progression is a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d and so on.
The given linear sequence (-5,-2,1,4,7) is in the form of Arithmetic Progression with a common difference of 3.

-5, -5+3 = -2, -2+3 = 1, 1+3 = 4 and so on.

The nth term is given by the formula nth term = a + (n - 1) d

where

a = first term

d = common difference

To find the 30th term in the given sequence :

The first term, a = -5 and the common difference, d = 3.

30th term = -5 + (30-1) 3

⇒ -5 + (29) 3

⇒ -5 + 87

⇒ 82

Therefore, the 30th term in the given sequence is 82.

Answer:

Solution,

Theorem:

The angle bisector theorem states that if a ray bisects an angle of a triangle,then it divides the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to other two sides.

By the theorem,

$\frac{24}{9x - 9} = \frac{32}{6x + 6} \\ or \: 24(6x + 6) = 32(9x - 9) \\ or \: 144x + 144 = 288x - 288 \\ or \: 144x - 288x = - 288 - 144 \\ or \: - 144x = - 432 \\ or \: x = \frac{ - 432}{ - 144} \\ x = 3$

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Write a function rule for the table.

Pavlova-9 [17]

The correct answer is: [C]: " p = 6.25 h " .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________

It is clear that "pay" is a function of "hours worked" ;

So, we can eliminate: "Choice [B]: " h = 6.25p" .
______________________________________________________
Try, Choice [A]: " p = h + 12.5 " ; and 14.50 ≠ 12.50 ; (12.50 is the amount shown in the table. So, we can already eliminate "Choice [A]".
_____________________________________________
Now that we have eliminated choices [A] and [B];

we are left with choices: [C] and [D]:
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [C]: " p = 6.25h " ;
 when "h = 2" ; does: "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)?? ;

i.e. " 12.5 =? 6.25 * (2) ?? Yes! This choice is a POSSIBILITY.
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [D]: " p = 12.5h" .

When "h = 2, does "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)? No!
→ We can see from this very answer choice
(the equation itself) that when "h = 2" ;
the value of "p" is DOUBLE [that of "12.5"].
________________________________________________
The correct answer is: Answer choice: [C]: " p = 6.25 h " .

I just need the coordinates

Viefleur [7K]

There are no coordinates for an equation like this, you have to just graph the problem. Just try graphing something similar to this (or just include this image). Hope this helps!
