Answer:

Let's think.

If we want the man to be in the best case scenario in which he loses the most pounds that his limit lets him, we should always make the man lose the highest he could go: 6 pounds.

This is just a simple multi step problem if you break it down.

If his goal is to get to 243 pounds, we firstly subtract 243 from 340 to see how much he needs to lose.

340 - 243 = 97

The man wants to lose 97 pounds.

Let's divide this number by 6 with remainder.

I'll let you think for a bit.

97 / 6 = 16 remainder 1.

This means that in 16 weeks, he needs to lose 6 pounds while on the 17th week, he needs to lose 1 pound.

I'm sorry if i misunderstood.

Good luck Mate :)

Find the 10th term of an arithmetic sequence if the common difference is 32 and the first term is 2
zaharov [31]

Answer:

290

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first term is 2 and the common difference is 32, then the formula for a(n) is:

a(n) = 2 + 32(n-1).

Thus, the 10th term is a(10) = 2 + 32(10-1)  =  2 + 32(9) = 290

-8p^2+8p+7=9<br> how do i find the discriminant
m_a_m_a [10]
The discriminant can be found using the formula b^2-4ac 

First put your equation in standard form, where all your values are on one side, and just add f(x) or y in front of your equation. 
y= 8p^2-8p+2

The first value of your equation is a   (a=8)
The second term of your equation is b  (b=-8)
The last term of your equation is c  (c=2)

Plug in the values to the discriminant equation b^2-4ac
