An= mth term.
an=a₁+(n-1)*d

a₁₂=41
a₁₅=140

a₁₂=41
41=a₁+(12-1)*d
41=a₁+11d 
a₁+11d=41    (1)

a₁₅=140
140=a₁+(15-1)*d
140=a₁+14d 
a₁+14d=140    (2)

With the equiations (1) and (2)  build a system of equations
a₁+11d=41
a₁+14d=140

we solve it.
-(a₁+11d=41)
  a₁+14d=140
--------------------
       3d=99  ⇒d=99/3=33

a₁+11d=41
a₁+(11*33)=41
a₁+363=41
a₁=41-363=-322

an=a₁+(n-1)*d
an=-322+(n-1)*33
an=-322+33n-33
an=-355+33n

an=-355+33n

To check:
a₁₂=-355+33*12=-355+396=41
a₁₅=-355+33*15=-355+495=140.

\dfrac{D(t)}{R(t)}=\dfrac{400-120t}{450-150t}=\dfrac{10(40-12t)}{10(45-15t)}=\dfrac{40-12t}{45-15t}\to\boxed{a.}

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP! I need to know the 3 equations to solve for the different types of points. ​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

f = 0

x > 2y

x ≤ 8

S ≥ 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'f' represent the number of free throws.

Let 'x' represent the number of 2 - point baskets.

Let 'y' represent the number of 3 - point baskets.

Let S represent the Season high.

1) Ryan says he did not shoot any free throws.

⇒ f = 0

2) 2 - point baskets more than twice the number of 3 - point baskets.

⇒ x > 2y

3) Number of two points is less than or equal to 8.

⇒ x ≤ 8.

4) Last Season high, he had scored 18 points. Note that the problem says, Ryan equaled or bettered than last season high. That means he should got at least 18 points this season. So, the equation would be:

S ≥ 18

I need help please.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

.55

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to shorten the decimal to just to two after the decimal point. If so for example, .443 would be shortened to .44, but if the third number is 5 and up, you would take the second number after the decimal point and add 1. For example,

.446 would round up to .44, which is why .5524 would round to .55

Solve for x in the diagram below
bixtya [17]

Answer:

80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that a straight line is 180 degrees and 100 degrees and x lie on the same line:

100 + x = 180
x = 80
Hope this helps :)
