Answer:

87th term is 497

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to find the nth term:

figure out the difference between your set of numbers (in our case +6)

that means that is 6n. next, the nth term is basically the 0th term so you have to find the 0th term. all you have to do is do the inverse of 6n (-6n or -6), which gives us -25.

nth term= 6n-25

now replace n with 87.

final step:

87*6 (6n and n=87) and that gives you 522. then, you have to do 522-25, due to the equation. 522-25=497

497 is your 87th term.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a = -19\\d = T_{2} -T_{1} \\d = -19-(-13)\\d = -19+13\\d = -6\\T_{n}= a+(n-1)d \\\\T_{87} = -19+(87-1)-6\\T_{87} = -19+(86)*-6\\T_{87} = -19-516\\T_{87} = -535$

What are the focus and directrix of the parabola that is the graph of the function f(x)=x²?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y=x^2$

comparing it with standard equation $x^2=4ay$

so 4a=1

$a=\frac{1}{4}$

so Focus of parabola is (0,0)

directrix

y=-a

here $a=\frac{1}{4}$

$y=-\frac{1}{4}$

Philip has 2,000 and spends $23.75 on supplies.he divides the remaining amount equally among his 8 employees how much does each

Artemon [7]

When you minus the 23.75 from 2000 you get 1976.25 and then divide that amount by 8 to get $247.03 per person.

Can somebody pls help me..

If you solve for the vertex of the function, you would get (-3, -1). So I think it would be x = -3 and the function’s maximum value would be -1. Hope this helps!! :)

i don't think it is you should probably pour the milk into a measuring cup depending on the size of the milk carton

For what interval is the value of (f – g)(x) negative?

mrs_skeptik [129]

<u>Complete question:</u>

Refer the attached diagram

<u>Answer:</u>

In reference to the attached figure, (-∞, 2) is the value where (f-g) (x) negative.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

From the attached figure, it shows that given data:

f (x) = x – 3

g (x) = - 0.5 x

To Find: At what interval the value of (f-g) (x) negative

So, first we need to calculate the (f-g) (x)

(f – g ) (x) = f (x) – g (x) = x-3 - (- 0.5 x)

⇒ (f - g) (x) =1.5 x - 3

Now we are supposed to find the interval for which (f-g) (x) is negative.

⇒ (f - g) (x) = x - 3+ 0.5 x = 1.5 x – 3 < 0

⇒ 1.5 x – 3 < 0

⇒ 1.5 x < 3

⇒ $x$

⇒ x < 2

Thus for (f - g) (x) negative x must be less than 2. Thereby, the interval is (-∞, 2). Function is negative when graph line lies below the x - axis.
