Answer:

Function rule for the arithmetic sequence is; a_n = a+(n-1)d

The 224th term of the arithmetic sequence  is: 671

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence: A sequence of number which increases or decreases by a constant amount each term.

Formula for nth term of arithmetic sequence is:

a_n = a+(n-1)d

where a is the first term in the sequence, d is the common difference and n is the number of terms;

Given an arithmetic sequence:

2, 5 , 8, 11, ......

First term(a) = 2

Common difference(d) = 3 (Because the difference between the two consecutive terms is 3) i,e

5-2 = 3

8-5 = 3

11 -8 =3 ans so on,....

To find the 224th term;

we have,

a = 2 , d = 3 and n = 224

Using formula for nth arithmetic sequence;

a_{224} = 2+(224-1)(3)

a_{224} = 2+(223)(3)

a_{224} = 2+669 =671

therefore, the 224th term for the given arithmetic sequence is, 671

Answer:

671  is the 224th term of the given series

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

2,5,8,11....

First term that is 2

common difference that is 3

we have to find 224th term

That is n =224

using a_n=a+(n-1)d

a_{224}=2+(224-1)3

On solving the above equation we get

a_{224}=671

Hence, 224th term of the given series is 671

Formulate the situation as a system of two linear equations in two variables. Be sure to state clearly the meaning of your x- an
slega [8]

Answer:

1) There were 33 $4,000 investors and 27 $8,000 investors.

2) The solution in x = 4, y = 9.

3) There were 24 nickels and 56 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A lawyer has found 60 investors for a limited partnership to purchase an inner-city apartment building, with each contributing either $4,000 or $8,000. If the partnership raised $348,000, then how many investors contributed $4,000 and how many contributed $8,000?

I am going to say that:

x is the number of investors that contributed 4,000.

y is the number of investors that contributed 8,000.

Building the system:

There are 60 investors. So:

x + y = 60

In all, the partnership raised $348,000. So:

4000x + 8000y = 348000

I am going to simplify by 4000. So:

x + 2y = 87

Solving the system:

The elimination method is a method in which we can transform the system such that one variable can be canceled by addition. So:

1)x + y = 60

2)x + 2y = 87

I am going to multiply 1) by -1. So we have

1)-x - y = -60

2)x + 2y = 87

By addition, the x are going to cancel each other

-x + x - y + 2y = -60 + 87

y = 27

For x:

x + y = 60

x = 60-y = 60-27 = 33

There were 33 $4,000 investors and 27 $8,000 investors.

2) Solve the system by row-reducing the corresponding augmented matrix.

2x + y = 17

x + y = 13

This system has the following augmented matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&17\\1&1&13\end{array}\right]

To help the row reducing, i am going to swap the first with the second line:

L1  L2

So we have:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\2&1&17\end{array}\right]

Now, reducing the first column.

L2 = L2 - 2L1

So we have:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\0&-1&-9\end{array}\right]

Now we do:

L2 = -L2

And the matrix is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\0&1&9\end{array}\right]

Now to reduce the second column, we do:

L1 = L1 - L2

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&4\\0&1&9\end{array}\right].

So the solution is:

x = 4, y = 9.

3) A jar contains 80 nickels and dimes worth $6.80. How many of each kind of coin are in the jar?

I am going to say that x is the number of nickels and y is the number of dimes.

Each nickel is worth 5 cents and each dime is worth 10 cents.

Building the system:

There are 80 coins in all:

x + y = 80

They are worth $6.80. So:

0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80

Solving the system:

1)x + y = 80

2)0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80

I am going to divide 1) by -10, so we can cancel y. So:

1)-0.10x - 0.10y = -8

2)0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80

Adding:

-0.10x + 0.05x - 0.10y + 0.10y = -8 + 6.80

-0.05x = -1.2 *(-100)

5x = 120

x = \frac{120}{5}

x = 24

Also

x + y = 80

y = 80-x = 80-24 = 56

There were 24 nickels and 56 dimes.
