Answer:

The first term is 13/3 and the common difference is d = 1/12

The formula is a(n) = 13/3 + (1/12)(n - 1)        

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for an arithmetic progression is:

a(n) = a(1) + d(n - 1), where d is the common difference/

Case 1:  n = 7:  29/6 = a(1) + d(7 - 1), or 29/6 = a(1) + d(6)

Case 2:  n = 15:  11/2 = a(1) + d(15 - 1) =  a(1) + d(14)

Then our system of linear equations is:

a(1) + 6d = 29/6

a(1) + 14d = 11/2

Let's solve this by elimination by addition and subtraction.  Subtract the first equation from the second.  We get:

                                                             

Substituting 1/12 for d in the first equation, we get:

a(1) + 14(1/12) = 11/2 or 66/12 (using the LCD 12)

Then a(1) = 66/12 - 14/12 = 52/12 = 13/3

The first term is 13/3 and the common difference is d = 1/12

The arithmetic sequence formula for this problem is thus:

a(n) = 13/3 + (1/12)(n - 1)                                                                          8

The function f(x)=2x+1 is defined over the interval [2, 5]. If the interval is divided into n equal parts, what is the value of
vodomira [7]

Answer:

  D.  5 +6k/n

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the interval is (5 -2) = 3. The width of one of n parts of it will be ...

  3/n

Then the difference between the left end point of the interval and the value of  x at the right end of the k-th rectangle will be ...

  k·(3/n) = 3k/n

So, the value of x at that point is that difference added to the interval's left end:

  2 + 3k/n

The value of the function for this value of x is ...

  f(2 +3k/n) = 2(2 +3k/n) +1 = (4 +6k/n) +1

  = 5 +6k/n

Solve the system of equations.<br> y=x+2<br> 4x-4y= 1
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 4x - 4y = 1
  2. 4x - 4(x + 2) = 1
  3. 4x - 4x - 8 = 1
  4. - 8 = 1

Our end result is -8 = 1. This is not true, so this system of equations have no solution.
