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

Adam writes 18y to simplify an expression with three like terms. What could the expression be?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5y + 6y + 7y = 18y......any numbers that add(or subtract) to equal 18, stick them before the y....

or it could be : 10y + 10y - 2y = 18y or 5y + 10y + 3y or 30y - 20y + 8y....I could go on forever...lol

The map of a walking trail is drawn on a coordinate grid with three points of interest. The trail starts at R(−2, 4) and goes to
Bogdan [553]
Length from R(-2, 4) to S(3, 4) is sqrt((3 - (-2))^2 + (4 - 4)^2) = sqrt(5)^2 = 5 units

Length from S(3, 4) to T(3, -1) is sqrt((3 - 3)^2 + (-1 - 4)^2) = sqrt(-5)^2 = 5 units

Therefore, total length = 5 + 5 = 10 units.

The point Z(5, -3) is rotated 270° clockwise around the origin. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, Z′?
g100num [7]

Answer:

(3, - 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a clockwise rotation about the origin of 270°

a point (x, y ) → (- y, x ), hence

Z(5, - 3 ) → Z'(3, - 5 )
