Use the equation 300⇒5x to find how much tim made each day on average. 
x⇒60   so, Day 1: $60, Day 2: $70 etc.. so the equation 300=5x+10 suffices the problem. 300⇒5x+10 ⇒    290=5x
x=58
So, Tim earned $58 his first day. Hope this helped.

The given problem is based on arithmetic sequence
Sn = 300 (the sum of money in five days)
d = 10 (the difference day by day)
n = 5
The question asks how much Tim earn on the first day, we write it as a₁

The general formula to find the sum of a sequence is
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn

Input the numbers to the formula to find the value of a₁
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(5-1)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(4)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 40) = 300
2a₁ + 40 = 300 × 2/5
2a₁ + 40 = 120
2a₁ = 120 - 40
2a₁ = 80
  a₁ = 80/2
  a₁ = 40

The first day, Tim earned $40

Describe what a finite graph is and give an example of how a finite graph would be used to represent something.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

A graph with a set amount of numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Infinite means never ending and that's what most graphs are. But, a finite graph is a graph that doesn't have arrows at the end of the lines. (simplified answer) A better way of saying it is a graph with a fixed starting position and a fixed ending position. You can use this type of graph if you don't want to go over or under a certain value.

Hope this helps!

49–2ax –a^2–x^2 factor
vampirchik [111]

49–2ax –a^2–x^2

Extract the negative sign

= 49 - (a^2 +2ax +x^2)

Factor using a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a+b)^2

= 49 - (a+x)^2

Factor using a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

= ( 7- (a + x)) * (7 + (a + x))

= ( 7- a - x) * (7 + a + x)
