Answer: An arithmetic sequence is of the form:

aₙ = a₀ + (n -1)*d

So the difference between a term and the nextone is always the same, and in our case the numbers are 5,8,13,21,34,55.

The distance between the numbers is not constant, so this is not a arithmetic sequence.

a geometric sequence is of the form: aₙ = a*rⁿ

So the therms grow exponentially.

here a₀ = a*r⁰ = a = 5.

a₁ = a*r¹ = 5*r = 13, then r = 13/5 = 2.6

a₂ = a*r² = 5*2.6*2.6 = 33.8, so here we can see that this is not our series, so our series isn't geometric.

So the answer for the first part is neither.

Now, the sequence is  5,8,13,21,34,55, ...

you can see that

5 + 8 = 13

13 + 8 = 21,

21 + 34 = 55

So our sequence is of the form: aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂.

then, the next term will be: 55 + 21= 76.

A boat has a speed of 15 mph in still water. It travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in g hours. It then goes back upst
Lerok [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.  Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:

B = speed of the boat in still water  

C = speed of the current

Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.

How do we find the two equations we need?  

Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).


Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)

The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour.  On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour.  The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour.  Put this info in the second column in the chart.  Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!

What is the solution to the system of equations? Use the substitution method.
BabaBlast [244]
The answer is:
4x+2y=11}  4x+2y=11} x=2-2y
x-2=-2y    }  x+2y=2    } x=2-2(-3/6)
                                      x=2-(-6/6)
4(2-2y)+2y=11              x=2-(-1)
8-8y+2y=11                   x=3
8-6y=11
-6y=11-8
-6y=3/-6
y=-3/6=-1/2

So for my opinion the solution is A.(3,-1/2)
