Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the general equation for an arithmetic sequence,

a_{n}=a_{1}+d(n-1),

where aₙ is the number of minutes for movie n,

a₁ is the length of the first movie in minutes, and

d is the difference between each movie, in minutes

Our sequence is this:

a_{n}=70+2(n-1)

If we want the length of the second movie (we already know the length of the first), we fill in n with 2:

a_{2}=70+2(2-1)

which gives us a length of 72.  Now for the length of movie n = 3:

a_{3}=70+2(3-1)

which gives us a length of 74.  Now for the length of movie n = 4:

a_{4}=70+2(4-1)

which gives us a length of 76.  One more and I'm sure you'll notice the pattern:

a_{5}=70+2(5-1)

which gives us a length of 78.  Now we will find the length of the 14th movie and add up by 2's all the way up to that number of minutes:

a_{14}=70+2(14-1)

which gives up a length of 96 minutes.  We will add up by 2's from 70 to 96:

70+72+74+76+78+80+82+84+86+88+90+92+94+96=1,162 min

Help Me5k = 6k + 4 - 6
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5k = 6k + 4 - 6

We can simplify this by solving 4 - 6 (replacing it with -2 !)

5k = 6k - 2

Now we can subtract 5k from both sides.

0 = k - 2

Finally, we can add 2 to both sides. This gets rid of the negative 2 on the right.

2 = k

Just reversing it...

k = 2

Answer: k = 2

The mean temperature for the first 7 days in January was 3 °C. The temperature on the 8th day was 5 °C. What is the mean tempera
andre [41]

Answer: 3.25°C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given the information that the mean temperature for the first 7 days in January was 3 °C. This means that the total temperature for the first 7 days in January was:

= 3°C × 7

= 21°C

We are also told that the temperature on the 8th day was 5°C. To calculate the the mean temperature for the first 8 days in January, we add the total temperature for the 8 days and then divide by 8.

The total temperature for the 8 days will be: = 21°C + 5°C = 26°C.

The mean temperature for the first 8 days in January will now be:

= 26°C/8

= 3.25°C
