Mathematics

MrMuchimi3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The two numbers following 1,-2,3,-4,5...  are -6 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

index:   1   2   3   4   5 ....

value:    1  -2  3  -4   5

Let the index be n.  Then the first term is a(1), the secon is a(2), and so on.

a(2) = 2*(-1)^(2-1) = 2*(-1) = -2 (correct)

a(3) = 3*(-1)^(3-1)   =  3*(-1)^2 = 3 (correct)

a(4) = 4*(-1)^(4-1)    = 4*(-1)^3 = -4 (correct)

So the general formula for a(n)  is:    a(n)=n(-1)^(n-1)

Thus,

a(5) = 5(-1)^4 = 5

a(6) = 6(-1)^5 = -6

a(7) = 7(-1)^6 = 7

The "next two numbers in the pattern" are -6 and 7.  The first 7 numbers are

1,-2,3,-4,5, -6, 7

Travis has decided to budget his spending money. He can spend no more than $ 143.15 every month. He has also decided to spend 5.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:m<$23.09

Step-by-step explanation: This question is tricky as there are unexplained variables.

Travis plans spending $143.15 every month but only two expenses were given to us, so other possible expenses may or may not be expended in this particular month.

That’s why we must include an inequality here.

Okay, back to the question.

Travis plans spending 5.2 times movie money on video games, my kinda dude.lol

Hence, 5.2m=v

m=movie budget

v=video games budget

But m+v<=143.15, the total proposed budget. Let’s replace v with 5.2m,

We have,

m+5.2m<=143.15

6.2m<=143.15

m<=23.0887

(We’ll have to approximate to the nearest cent)

m<$23.09
