The relationship between men’s whole-number shoe sizes and foot lengths is an arithmetic sequence, where an is the foot length i

n inches that corresponds to a shoe size of n. A men’s size 9 fits a foot 10.31 inches long, and a men’s size 13 fits a foot 11.71 inches long. What is the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence? Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer:

Explicit formula for the sequence will be f(x) = 7.16 + 0.35n

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know explicit formula of an arithmetic mean is given by

f(x) = a + (n-1)d

where a = first term of the sequence

n = number of term

d = common difference

Now it has been given that a men's size 9 fits a foot 10.31 inches long, means in an arithmetic sequence 9th term is 10.31. So by explicit formula

f(9) = a + (9-1)d = 10.31

⇒ a + 8d = 10.31-----(1)

Now from second statement

f(13) = a + (13-1)d = 11.71

⇒a + 12d = 11.71---------(2)

Now we subtract equation 1 from 2.

(a + 12d) - (a + 8d) = 11.71 - 10.31 = 0.40

4d = 1.40

d = 1.40/4 = 0.35

By putting the value of d in equation 1

a = 10.31 - 2.8 = 7.51

Finally we get the explicit formula of arithmetic formula as

f(x) = 7.51 + (n-1)(.35) = 7.51 + 0.35n - 0.35 = 7.16 + 0.35n

f(x) = 7.16 + 0.35n

The explicit formula for the geometric sequence 10,30,90,180
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

a_{n} = 10 (3)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a (r)^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = 10 and r = 30 ÷ 10 = 3, thus

a_{n} = 10 (3)^{n-1}

The function y=60/x relates y, the time in hours that it takes micheal to travel to his grandparents house,to x , his average sp
Andrews [41]

Answer:

60 represents the distance

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : y is the time in hours that it takes Micheal to travel to his grandparents house,

            x is his average speed in miles per hour.

To Find: What does the number 60 represents

Solution :

Time= y

x = speed

So, To find distance we will use formula :

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

y = \frac{Distance}{x}  -- A

Given function: y = \frac{60}{x} --B

On comparing A and B

Distance = 60 miles

So, 60 represents the distance .

What is the slope of the line?<br> y=-5x-9<br> slope=_______
Lady_Fox [76]
-5x

The basic formula for slope of a line is
y = mx + b
where m is the coefficient of x and the slope.

Your equation is already in the right formula. The number there is -5x as your slope. Good luck!
