Answer: 912
===================================
Work Shown:
The starting term is a1 = 3. The common difference is d = 5 (since we add 5 to each term to get the next term). The nth term formula is
an = a1+d(n-1)
an = 3+5(n-1)
an = 3+5n-5
an = 5n-2
Plug n = 19 into the formula to find the 19th term
an = 5n-2
a19 = 5*19-2
a19 = 95-2
a19 = 93
Add the first and nineteenth terms (a1 = 3 and a19 = 93) to get a1+a19 = 3+93 = 96
Multiply this by n/2 = 19/2 = 9.5 to get the final answer
96*9.5 = 912
I used the formula
Sn = (n/2)*(a1 + an)
where you add the first term (a1) to the nth term (an), then multiply by n/2
-----------------
As a check, here are the 19 terms listed out and added up. We get 912 like expected.
3+8+13+18 +23+28+33+38 +43+48+53+58 +63+68+73+78 +83+88+93 = 912
There are 19 values being added up in that equation above. I used spaces to help group the values (groups of four; except the last group which is 3 values) so it's a bit more readable.
Answer as a fraction: 17/6
Answer in decimal form: 2.8333 (approximate)
==================================================
Work Shown:
Let's use the two black points to determine the equation of the red f(x) line.
Use the slope formula to get...
m = slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (4-0.5)/(2-(-1))
m = (4-0.5)/(2+1)
m = 3.5/3
m = 35/30
m = (5*7)/(5*6)
m = 7/6
Now use the point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 0.5 = (7/6)(x - (-1))
y - 0.5 = (7/6)(x + 1)
y - 0.5 = (7/6)x + 7/6
y = (7/6)x + 7/6 + 0.5
y = (7/6)x + 7/6 + 1/2
y = (7/6)x + 7/6 + 3/6
y = (7/6)x + 10/6
y = (7/6)x + 5/3
So,
f(x) = (7/6)x + 5/3
We'll use this later.
---------------------
We ultimately want to compute f(g(0))
Let's find g(0) first.
g(0) = 1 since the point (0,1) is on the g(x) graph
We then go from f(g(0)) to f(1). We replace g(0) with 1 since they are the same value.
We now use the f(x) function we computed earlier
f(x) = (7/6)x + 5/3
f(1) = (7/6)(1) + 5/3
f(1) = 7/6 + 5/3
f(1) = 7/6 + 10/6
f(1) = 17/6
f(1) = 2.8333 (approximate)
This ultimately means,
f(g(0)) = 17/6 as a fraction
f(g(0)) = 2.8333 as a decimal approximation
Answer:
2.64
Step-by-step explanation:
0.9(x + 1.4) - 2.3 + 0.1x = 1.6
0.9x + 1.26 -2.3 + 0.1x - 1.6 = 0
(0.9x + 0.1x) + (1.26 - 2.3 - 1.6) = 0
x - 2.64 = 0
x = 2.64
Answer:
the answer is 4

Answer:
Company B.
Step-by-step explanation:
On the graph, when x is 1, y is 50. That means it is $50 for one window. On the chart, when there is 1 window, the cost is $55. So, company B is more expensive!
