Hi there!

The key feature of an arithmetic progression is that the change between each term is the same. Let's first calculate this amount of change, known as the common difference.

We can see that there are 4 terms between the values of 6 and 30, as 7 - 3 = 4. By subtracting 6 from 30, and getting 24, we then see that when 4 terms pass, 24 passes. Dividing 24 into 4 equal pieces gets us 6 for each term. Thus, this means that the common difference is 6.

Now, we can calculate the first and 10th term based off this. We know the 3rd term is 6. The first term is 2 terms behind this. With a common difference of 6, this means that the first term is 12 behind 6, or -6.

For the 10th term, we know the 7th term is 30. We know the 10th term is 3 terms after the 7th term. With a common difference of 6, this means the 10th term is 18 after 30, or 48.

Thus, this means the common difference is 6, the first term is -6, and the tenth term is 48.

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions about this specific problem.

Answer:

Step-by-step

Create an algebraic equation. 6N-12. 6x1 - 12 = -6. So -6 is the first term.

6x10-12 = 48. So 48 is the 10th term

Hope it helps

Find a particular solution to y" - y' + 9y = 3 sin 3x

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

cos3x

Step-by-step explanation:

y" - y' + 9y = 3 sin 3x

$D^{2}y-Dy+9y=3 sin3x$

$y=\frac{3 sin 3x}{(D^{2} -D+9}=3 sin 3x$

here $D^2$ will be replaced by $\alpha^2$ where $\alpha$ is coefficient of x

$y=\frac{3 sin 3x}{-3^{2} -D+9}$

$y=-3\frac{sin 3x}{D}$

$y=-3\int\ {sin 3x} \, dx$

$y=-3\frac{cos3x}{-3}$

y=cos3x

hence Particular solution is cos3x

Ten less than eight times the number of marbles is greater than or equal to the sum of six times the number of marbles and fourt

tia_tia [17]

Let, the number = x

8x-10 ≥ 6x+14

Subtracting 6x form both sides,

2x-10 ≥ 14

Adding 10 to both sides,

2x ≥ 24

Dividing by 2,

x ≥ 12

morpeh [17]

Answer:

x=180 units

Step-by-step explanation:

C=R

13x+450=15.5 x

15.5x-13 x=450

2.5 x=450

25 x=4500

x=(4500)/25=180

If a line goes through the following two points: (0,0) and (2,1), the slope of the line is:

luda_lava [24]

Answer: m = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: Let's use the graphing method.

To find the slope of the line using the graphing method,

we first set up a coordinate system.

Next, we plot our two points, (0, 0), which we label point A, and (2, 1),

which we label point B, and we graph our line, as shown below.

Now just graph the line through the two points.

Now, remember that the slope, or m, is equal to the

rise over run from point A to point B.

To get from point A to point B, we rise 1 unit and run 2 units.

So our slope, or rise over run, is 1/2.
