Just plug in 3 for n and then 5 for n to see if an turns out to be 10 and 26.
n=3:
A) an = 8*3+10 = 34
B) an = 8*3 - 14 = 10 OK
C) an = 16*3+10 = 58
D) an = 16*3 - 38 = 10 OK
n=5:
B) an = 8*5-14 = 26 OK
D) an = 16*5 - 38 = 42
So the answer is B
9514 1404 393
Answer:
13 in by 51 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is the product of the dimensions, so is ...
663 = x(4x -1)
4x^2 -x -663 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 663 to put in standard form
Using the quadratic formula, we can find the solutions.
x = (-(-1) ±√((-1)^2 -4(4)(-663)))/(2(4))
x = (1 ± √10609)/8 = (1 ±103)/8
Only the positive solution is of any use in this problem, so ...
x = 104/8 = 13
4x-1 = 4(13)-1 = 51
The dimensions of the rectangle are 13 inches by 51 inches.

I find it easiest to solve these using a graphing calculator.
Answer:
Total surface area of cube = 294 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Perimeter of cube = 84 cm
Find:
Total surface area of cube
Computation:
Perimeter of cube = 12 x side
84 = 12 x side
Side = 7 cm
Total surface area of cube = 6(a)²
Total surface area of cube = 6(7)²
Total surface area of cube = 294 cm²
Answer:
Not quite sure what you are aiming for in this question; however, I guess that is true? A blind man wouldn´t simply rely on a lamp-post to get around. I guess what is being said is that statistics should be used when it is useful? There are plenty of ways people can analyze that statement.

Answer:
The length of x in #1 is 15.57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use #1 as an example to teach show you how to do this. In a right triangle we can solve these using trig. In this particular one, we have the measure adjacent to the angle and we are looking for the one opposite of the angle. So we look at all the trig functions and select the one that uses both of those two terms.
Sinα = Opp/Hyp
Tanα = Opp/Adj
Cosα = Adj/Hyp
As you can see, Tan is the function we are looking for. So we plug in all known information into that equation.
Tanα = Opp/Adj -----> Plug in known values
Tan(60) = x/9 ----->Calculate out the trig function
1.73 = x/9 -----> Multiply by the denominator to solve
15.57 = x
