Hey there! :)
Answer:
a) 32 sticks.
b) 5n + 2 sticks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve this by finding the pattern.
Pattern # 1 = 7 sticks.
Pattern #2 = 12 sticks
Pattern #3 = 17 sticks.
We can see an increase of 5 sticks within each. We can use this to write an equation:
f(n) = 7 + 5(n-1)
***Where n is the term number
You can simplify the equation to become:
f(n) = 7 + 5n - 5
f(n) = 5n + 2.
Use this equation to solve for pattern # 6:
f(6) = 7 + 5(n-1)
f(6) = 7 + 5(5)
f(6) = 7 + 25
f(6) = 32.
Each ticket costs $7 and on Friday every ticket is discounted by $2 so the cost of every ticket would be $5 on Friday and 5x9=45 so the cost for 9 tickets on Friday is worth $45
So k in the first problem would =1/2
and i guess in the second problem just put k in place of the first space and in the second space put 8 for x. y would then =4. Idk if I did this right, though, I'm honestly a little confused too.
The first letter can be any one of 26 letters. For each one . . .
The second letter can be any one of 26 letters. For each one . . .
The first digit can be any one of 10 digits. For each one . . .
The second digit can be any one of 10 digits. For each one . . .
The third digit can be any one of 10 digits. For each one . . .
The fourth digit can be any one of 10 digits. For each one . . .
The fifth digit can be any one of 10 digits.
The total number of possibilities is
(26 x 26 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10) =
( 26² x 10⁵) = (676 x 100,000) = <em>67,600,000</em> .
