Answer:

The explicit formula of the given AP is a(n) = 7 + 7 n

And the term a (13) = 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given sequence is : 14, 28 , 42, 56 ,....

First Term (a) = 14

Second term = 28

Now, the Common difference (d) = Second term - First Term

= 28 - 14 = 14

Now, the formula for nth term in an AP is : a(n) = a + (n-1)d

So, here, the nth term of the sequence is given as:

a(n) = 14 + (n-1) 7

= 14 + 7 n - 7 = 7 + 7 n

or, a(n) = 7 + 7 n ......... (1)

or, The explicit formula of the given AP is a(n) = 7 + 7 n

Now, for evaluating a (13) put n = 13 in (1)

⇒ a(13) = 7 + 7 (13) = 7 + 91 = 98

or, a (13) = 98

B). 10.63
Because 7^2=49 and 8^2=64 then 49+64=113 then the square root of 113 is 10.63

Solve 765/14 and write your answer in terms of a mixed number (please use this format: 75 3/5). *

kozerog [31]

the answer is 54 9/14

because Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction.

Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, -5). Write the equati

amid [387]

In this we know all three zeros and one point from which the graph pass.
So we will let specific cubic polynomial function of the form
$f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)$

As we know zeros are that point where we will get value of function equal to zero. So it is basically in form $(x_n , 0)$

SO in given question zeros are (2 , 0) , (3, 0) and (5,0)
So we can say $x_1 = 2 , x_2 = 3 , x_3 = 5$

So required equation is
$f(x) = a (x-2)(x-3)(x-5)$
              $= a[(x^2 - 2x - 3x + 6)(x-5)]$
              $= a[(x^2 - 5x+6)(x-5)]$
              $= a(x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x- 5x^2 + 25x - 30)$
              $= a(x^3 - 10x^2+31x-30)$
Now we have one point (0 , -5) from which graph passes.
So we say at x = 0 , f(x) = -5
$-5= a (0-0+0 - 30)$
$-5 = -30a$
$a = \frac{-5}{-30} = \frac{1}{6}$
So required equation of cubic polynomial is
$f(x) = \frac{1}{6}(x^3 -10x^2+31x-30)$

For finding y - intercept we simply plugin x = 0 in given equation.
As we know at x = 0 , value of function is -5.
So y - intercept is -5.

Kyla makes a triangular school pennant. The area of the triangle is 180 square inches. The base of the pennant is z inches long.

kykrilka [37]

We can represent the base as z and the height as 2z+6. We are going to use the formula A=1/2*b*h and solve for z
180=1/2*z*(2z+6)
360=2z^2+6z
0=2z^2+6z-360
0=2(z^2+3z-180)
0=(z+15)(z-12)
So z=-15 and 12 but it must be positive so then the base is equal to 12

When we plug this into 2z+6 we get 30 for the height
2(12)+6=30

Hope this helps
