D=4n-2, d+2=4n-2+2, d+2=4n
(d+2)/4=(4n)/4, 1/4d+1/2=n
n=1/4n+1/2

size 3=
n=1/4*3/1=3/4, 3/4+1/2=5/4=1 1/4
size 3=1 1/4

size 6=
n=1/4*6/1=6/4, 6/4+1/2=8/4=2
size 6=2

size 10=
n=1/4*10/1=10/4, 10/4+1/2=12/4=3
size 10=3

Answer:

The penny size d is given by the literal equation d=4n-2

Where n is the length (in inches) of the nail.

We can deduce the value of n from equation above:

(d+2)/4=n

Now we have to find n with various values of d.

1. when d = 3 inches

n=(3+2)/4

=>n=5/4

n = 1.25 inches

2. when d = 6 inches

n=(6+2)/4

=>n=8/4

n = 2 inches

3. when d = 10 inches

n=(10+2)/4

=>n=12/4

n = 3 inches

Given that:

James is 6 times older than his friend Zach, if Zach added 8 to his age and multiplied this sum by 3 .

To find:

The equation that can be used to solve for zach's age.

Solution:

Let the age of zach be Z.

Zach added 8 to his age = Z+8

And multiplied this sum by 3 = 3(Z+8)

James is 6 times older than his friend Zach = 6Z

Now,

6Z=3(Z+8)

6Z-3Z=24

3Z=24

Divide both sides by 3.

Z=8

Therefore, the required equation is 6Z=3(Z+8) is age of zach is 8 years.

A(n) = -5 + 6(n - 1)a(n)=−5+6(n−1)a, left parenthesis, n, right parenthesis, equals, minus, 5, plus, 6, left parenthesis, n, min
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The 12th term is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that your a(n) = -5 + 6(n - 1) is correct; the rest is redundant (duplicative, unneeded).

To find the 12th term, substitute 12 for n in the above formula:

a(12) = -5 + 6(12 - 1) = -5 + 6(11) = 66 - 5, or 61

The 12th term is 61

Use the table to work out the values of a , b , c , and d .​
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

a = - 1, b = - 3, c = - 5, d = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the appropriate values of x into the equation and evaluate

x = - 3 : y = - (- 3) - 4 = 3 - 4 = - 1 → a

x = - 1 : y = - (- 1) - 4 = 1 - 4 = - 3 → b

x = 1 : y = - 1 - 4 = - 5 → c

x = 2 : y = - 2 - 4 = - 6 → d

Prove the statement holds for all positive integers:<br><br> 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n = n² + n
crimeas [40]

Proving a relation for all natural numbers involves proving it for n = 1 and showing that it holds for n + 1 if it is assumed that it is true for any n.

The relation 2+4+6+...+2n = n^2+n has to be proved.

If n = 1, the right hand side is equal to 2*1 = 2 and the left hand side is equal to 1^1 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2

Assume that the relation holds for any value of n.

2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n + 2(n+1) = n^2 + n + 2(n + 1)

= n^2 + n + 2n + 2

= n^2 + 2n + 1 + n + 1

= (n + 1)^2 + (n + 1)

This shows that the given relation is true for n = 1 and if it is assumed to be true for n it is also true for n + 1.

<span>By mathematical induction the relation is true for any value of n.</span>
