Which is bigger 0.17 or 0.165

Mathematics

0.17 is bigger because you compare the values of the number in each place. There is no whole number, the tenths place is equal. Then in the hundredths place you have a 6 and a 7. 6<7 so therefore 0.17> 0.165. To help yourself out u can add a 0 at the end to then more easily compare .170 to .165

Find the nth term of the sequence 7,25,51,85,127​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Let <em>a </em>(<em>n</em>) denote the <em>n</em>-th term of the given sequence.

Check the forward differences, and denote the <em>n</em>-th difference by <em>b </em>(<em>n</em>). That is,

<em>b </em>(<em>n</em>) = <em>a </em>(<em>n</em> + 1) - <em>a </em>(<em>n</em>)

These so-called first differences are

<em>b</em> (1) = <em>a</em> (2) - <em>a</em> (1) = 25 - 7 = 18

<em>b</em> (2) = <em>a</em> (3) - <em>a</em> (2) = 51 - 25 = 26

<em>b </em>(3) = <em>a</em> (4) - <em>a</em> (3) = 85 - 51 = 34

<em>b</em> (4) = <em>a </em>(5) - <em>a</em> (4) = 127 - 85 = 42

Now consider this sequence of differences,

18, 26, 34, 42, …

and notice that the difference between consecutive terms in this sequence <em>b</em> is 8:

26 - 18 = 8

34 - 26 = 8

42 - 34 = 8

and so on. This means <em>b</em> is an arithmetic sequence, and in particular follows the rule

<em>b</em> (<em>n</em>) = 18 + 8 (<em>n</em> - 1) = 8<em>n</em> + 10

for <em>n</em> ≥ 1.

So we have

<em>a </em>(<em>n</em> + 1) - <em>a </em>(<em>n</em>) = 8<em>n</em> + 10

or, replacing <em>n</em> + 1 with <em>n</em>,

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 1) + 8 (<em>n</em> - 1) + 10

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 1) + 8<em>n</em> + 2

We can solve for <em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) by iteratively substituting:

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = [<em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 2) + 8 (<em>n</em> - 1) + 2] + 8<em>n</em> + 2

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a </em>(<em>n</em> - 2) + 8 (<em>n</em> + (<em>n</em> - 1)) + 2×2

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = [<em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 3) + 8 (<em>n</em> - 2) + 2] + 8 (<em>n</em> + (<em>n</em> - 1)) + 2×2

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 3) + 8 (<em>n</em> + (<em>n</em> - 1) + (<em>n</em> - 2)) + 3×2

and so on. The pattern should be clear; we end up with

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (1) + 8 (<em>n</em> + (<em>n</em> - 1) + … + 3 + 2) + (<em>n</em> - 1)×2

The middle group is the sum,

\displaystyle 8\sum_{k=2}^nk=8\sum_{k=1}^nk-8=\frac{8n(n+1)}2-8=4n^2+4n-8

so that

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (1) + (4<em>n</em> ² + 4<em>n</em> - 8) + 2 (<em>n</em> - 1)

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = 4<em>n</em> ² + 6<em>n</em> - 3

8x+3&gt;_x+10 how do i solve dis<br> HELP
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

x > 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3 from both sides

8x + 3 - 3 > x + 10 - 3

Simplify

8x > x + 7

Subtract x from both sides

8x - x > x + 7 - x

Simplify

7x - 7

Divide both sides by 7

7x/7 > 7/7

Simplify

x > 1
