Answer:

B) each piece has 1/8 of 3 feet ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total length of the ribbon = 3 feet,

Total number of pieces of the ribbon = 8,

If each piece has the same length,

So, the length of each piece

=\frac{\text{total length of the ribbon}}{\text{total pieces}}

=\frac{3}{8}

= 1/8 of 3 feet

Hence, OPTION B is correct.

Which values of m and b will create a system of equations with no solution? choose 1 options.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The graph of a linear equation is a straight line.  The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross.  If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution.  Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b).  One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out).  The slope is -2.  So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it.  The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept.  Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution.  So if your equation is:

 

y = -2x + 1

 

Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution.  Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.

Determine the first four terms of the sequence in which the nth term is...
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sequence is (n+3)!/ (n+4)!

The first terms uses n=1

a1 = (1+3)!/ (1+4)! = 4!/5! = (4*3*2*1)/(5*4*3*2*1) = 1/5


The first terms uses n=2

a2 = (2+3)!/ (2+4)! = 5!/6! = (5*4*3*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/6


The first terms uses n=3

a3 = (3+3)!/ (3+4)! = 6!/7! = (6*5*4*3*2*1)/(7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/7


The first terms uses n=4

a4 = (4+3)!/ (4+4)! = 7!/8! = (7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/(8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/8
