An arithmetic sequence is an ordered list of numbers where the next number is found by adding on to the last number (ex: 2,5,8,11... is a sequence where 3 is added on to find the next number).

The equation for an arithmetic sequence is
A_{n}=A_{1}+(n-1)d

A_{n} is the "n-th" number in the sequence (ex:  is the first term in the sequence)
d is the number you add (common difference) to find the next number
The first number in the sequence is 47 so A_{1}=47
<span>d=-2 because the question gives you that
</span>
A_{n}=A_{1}+(n-1)d
<span>A_{29}=47+(29-1)(-2)
</span><span>A_{29}=47+(28)(-2)
</span><span>A_{29}=47+-56
</span><span>A_{29}=-9
</span>
The answer is A. -9.

<u>                                                       </u>

<span>The answer is C. 158</span>

For the second one, it gives you A_{1}=4 and <span>A_{}=18
You can use this to find d

</span><span>A_{n}=A_{1}+(n-1)d
</span><span>A_{3}=4+(3-1)d
</span><span>18=4+(3-1)d
</span><span>18=4+2d
</span><span>14=2d
</span><span>7=d
</span>
Now you can just solve using the equation normally.
<span>A_{n}=A_{1}+(n-1)d
</span><span>A_{23}=4+(23-1)(7)
</span><span>A_{23}=4+(22)(7)
</span><span>A_{23}=4+154
</span><span>A_{23}=158
</span>
The answer is C. 158

The equation for the nth term of an arythmetic sequence is
an=a1+(n-1)d
an=nth term
a1=first term
n=n from the nth term
d=commno differnce


common difference is -2 and fist term is 47
what is n=29?
an=47+(n-1)(-2)
a29=47+(29-1)(-2)
a29=47+(28)(-2)
a29=47-56
a29=-9

answer is A


first erm is 4
third is 18
means
a1=4
a3=18
a3=a1+(3-1)d
a3=18=4+(3-1)d
18=4+(n-1)d
minus 4 both sides
14=(3-1)d
14=(2)d
divide both sides by 2
7=d
an=4+(n-1)7
what is 23th term
a23=4+(23-1)7
a23=4+(22)7
a23=4+154
a23=158

C


answers are A and C

Please help with my question it is the millers shower uses 25 gallons of water for a 10 min shower. Now how many gallons of wate
klasskru [66]
Answer: The Millers need 15 gallons of water for 6 minutes.


Lets start by finding how much water is needed for 1 min shower. 
<span>
25 gallons of water is used for 10 min shower:

</span>10 mins = 25 gallons <span>

To find 1 min shower, we will divide the 25 gallons of water by 10. 
</span><span>
10 mins = 25 gallons            </span>← Divide by 10 on both sides<span>
÷ 10           ÷ 10
1 min = 2.5 gallons

Now that we know the Millers need 2.5 gallons for every 1 minute of shower, we can find 6 minutes of shower by multiplying by 6.

1 min = 2.5 gallons</span>         ← Multiply 6 on both sides<span>
   x6           x6
6 min = 15 gallons

Answer: The Millers need 15 gallons of water for 6 minutes.

Ethan repairs household appliances like dishwashers and refrigerators. For each visit, he charges $25 plus $20 per hour of work.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:the independent variable is x, the number of hours of work.

The dependent variable is y, the total charge for x hours of work.

Step-by-step explanation:

A change in the value of the independent variable causes a corresponding change in the value of in dependent variable. Thus, the dependent variable is is output while the independent variable is the input

For each visit, he charges $25 plus $20 per hour of work. The linear expression that represents the total amount of money that Ethan earns per visit is y = 25 + 20x.

Since the total amount charged, y depends on the number of hours of work, x, it means that the dependent variable is y and the independent variable is x

Use the given pair of functions to find and simplify expressions for the following functions and state the domain of each using
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Given functions,

f(x) = 3 - x^2

g(x) = \sqrt{x}+1

Since, by the compositions of functions,

1. (g◦f)(x) = g(f(x))

=g(3-x^2)

=\sqrt{3-x^2}+1

Since, (g◦f) is defined,

If 3 - x² ≥ 0

⇒ 3 ≥ x²

⇒ -√3 ≤ x ≤ √3

Thus, Domain = [-√3, √3]

2. (f◦g)(x) = f(g(x))

=f(\sqrt{x}+1)

=3-(\sqrt{x}+1)^2

Since, (g◦f) is defined,

If  x ≥ 0

Thus, Domain = [0, ∞)

3. (f◦f)(x) = f(f(x))

=f(3-x^2)

=3-(3-x^2)^2

=3-9-x^4+6x^2

=-6+6x^2-x^4

Since, (f◦f) is a polynomial,

We know that,

A polynomial is defined for all real value of x,

Thus, Domain = (-∞, ∞)

For the problem I tried dividing but my answers were not correct. How can I solve this problem then? Can someone help me out her
astraxan [27]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = 40

1 = x

Then we multiply by the rule of crisscrossing

5 x X = 40 x 1

5x = 40 then divide both by 5

X = 8

Answer:

x ≥ - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the solid circle above - 1 on the number line indicates that x can equal - 1

the arrow points right indicating x is greater than or equal to - 1 , that is

x ≥ - 1
