Answer:

$a_{n}$ = - 1.3n - 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference, thus

$a_{n}$ = - 3.7 - 1.3(n - 1) = - 3.7 - 1.3n + 1.3 = - 1.3n - 2.4

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$2\frac{4}{5}\ \ or \ 2.8 \ \ cups$

Step-by-step explanation:

-The total portion fed to the dog is 7/10 cup

Canned-3/10
Dry=7/10-3/10=4/10

-One week has 7 days. we multiply the dry portion per day by the number of days in a week.

$Dry= Total -Canned\\\\=\frac{7}{10}-\frac{3}{10}\\\\=0.40 \ cup\\\\Dry \ per \ Week= Dry/ day\times days\\\\=0.40\times 7\\\\=2\frac{4}{5}\ or\ 2.8 \ cups$

Hence, Erin feed her dog 2 4/5 0r 2.8 cups of dry food

On a bicycle trail, the city is painting arrows like the one shown below: Upper pointing arrow with height of 15 and length of 1

Luden [163]

Answer:

229.5 $cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the area of the arrow we need to calculate the area of the body of the arrow, and then the head of the arrow. The body of the arrow is a rectangle meaning that the area (Ar) can be calculated by multiplying the length by the height like so...

Ar = l * h

Ar = 11cm * 12cm

Ar = 132 $cm^{2}$

Now we need to find the area of the head of the arrow, which is a triangle and therefore we can use the formula for the area of a triangle (At) which is height times base divided by 2...

At = $\frac{h * b}{2}$
