PLEASE HELP!! what is the explicit formula for this sequence -7, -4, -1, 2, 5
1 answer:
Answer:
The explicit formula for the given expression is .
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is
-7, -4, -1, 2, 5
The difference between two consecutive terms is same, therefore the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
The first term of the given AP is -7 and the common difference is
The explicit formula for an AP is
Where, a is first term, d is common difference and n is number of terms.
Substitute a=-7 and d=3 in the above equation.
Therefore the explicit formula for the given expression is .

Answer:
<u>19.01 pound</u> of cashews and <u>16.99 pounds</u> of brazil nuts should be used to make a 36 pound mixture that sells for 5.69 per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The nutty professor sells cashews for 7.20 per pound and brazil nuts for 4.00 per pound.
Now, to find each type should be used to make a 36 pound mixture that sells for 5.69 per pound.
Let the quantity of cashews be
Let the quantity of brazil nuts be
So, total pound of mixture of nuts:
Now, the total price of mixture per pound:
Substituting the value of from equation (1) we get:
Subtracting both sides by 144 we get:
Dividing both sides by 3.2 we get:
The quantity of cashews = 19.01 pound.
Now, substituting the value of in equation (1) we get:
The quantity of brazil nuts = 16.99 pounds.
Therefore, 19.01 pound of cashews and 16.99 pounds of brazil nuts should be used to make a 36 pound mixture that sells for 5.69 per pound.
Answer:
The dimensions are 13.92inches by 36.92inches by 5.04inches
Volume is 2590.18 inches³
Step-by-step explanation:
see attachment for the figure
supposing 'h' is side length of the square and also the height of the box
then, According to the question
Length of the box 'L'= 47 - 2h
Width of the box 'w'= 24 - 2h
Volume of the box 'V'= hLw
Substituting the values of 'L' and 'w' in above equation
V= h(47 - 2h)(24 - 2h)
V=(47h - 2h²)(24 - 2h) => 1128h - 94h²-48h²+4h³
V= 4h³ -142h²+1128h -->eq(1)
Taking derivative on both sides.
V' = 12h² - 284h + 1128
Setting the equation to zero, we will have
0=12h² - 284h + 1128
0= 3h² - 71h + 282
Using Quadratic formula to find h
h= (-b+-√b²-4ac) / 2a
= 71+-√71² - (4 x 3 x 282) / (2 x 3)=> 71+-√5041- 3384 / 6
h =(71+- 40.706)/ 6
EITHER h= 18.6
OR h=5.04
By substituting the value of 'h' in eq(1)
(1)=>V(18.6)= 4(18.6)³ -142(18.6)²+1128(18.6) => -2406.096
(1)=>V(5.04)= 4(5.04)³ -142(5.04)²+1128(5.04) => 2590.18
By ignoring the negative value, we will have h=5.04
Therefore,
L= 47 - 2h => 47 -2(5.04) =>36.92
w= 24 - 2h=> 24- 2(5.04)=> 13.92
The dimensions are 13.92inches x 36.92inches x 5.04inches
Volume is 2590.18 inches³
