first term = initial number

second term = initial number + common difference

third term = initial number + 2(common difference)

So...

2x+5-(x+4) = common difference

4x+3-(2x+5) = also common difference

2x+5-(x+4) = x+1

4x+3-(2x+5) = 2x-2

Because x+1=2x-2 we can solve for x.

x=3

So the sequence goes... 7,11,15...

19 is the fourth term

When angles are complementary the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Two complementary angles have measured of 2x-10 degrees a

Vinvika [58]

56° and 34°

complementary angles sum to 90° thus

3x - 10 + 2x - 10 = 90

5x - 20 = 90

add 20 to both sides of the equation

5x = 90 + 20 = 110

divide both sides by 5

x = $\frac{110}{5}$ = 22

angle 2x - 10 = (2 × 22) - 10 = 44 - 10 = 34° and

angle 3x - 10 = (3 × 22) - 10 = 66 - 10 = 56°

If $1000 is invested at 8% interest, compounded annually, then after n years the investment is worthan = 1000(1.08)ndollars.(a)

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Diverge

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

1st year: $1000 * 1.08^1 = \$1080$

2nd year: $1000 * 1.08^2 = \$1166.4$

3rd year: $1000 * 1.08^3 = \$1259.71$

4th year: $1000 * 1.08^4 = \$1360.49$

5th year: $1000 * 1.08^5 = \$1469.33$

(b) The sequence is divergent, because if we take the derivative of the function with respect to n year:

$(1000*1.08^n)^{'} = 1000ln(n)*1.08^n$

This is a positive, meaning the slope of the function is positive. If we take the second derivative using product rule

$(1000ln(n)*1.08^n)^{'} = 1000\frac{ln(n)}{n}1.08^n$

This is also positive when n > 0. Therefore, the slope is positive and increasing. This means the sequence diverges.

Define jurisdiction.

timama [110]

The definition of jurisdiction as given in the choices would be authority over something. You have jurisdiction if you are free to make decisions on the matter.

Courts that try cases are called courts of original jurisdiction - which are usually trial courts.
