3x -4y=-2

subtract 3x from the left side and subtract it to the right

you get
-4y= -3x -2

divide each side by -4

you get

y= 3/4x- 1/2

y-intercept = - 1/2

A sequence is constructed according to the following rule: its first term is 7, and each next term is one more than the sum of t

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the described rule, we have

$a_1=7\\ \\a_1^2=7^2=49\Rightarrow a_2=4+9+1=14\\ \\a_2^2=14^2=196\Rightarrow a_3=1+9+6+1=17\\ \\a_3^2=17^2=289\Rightarrow a_4=2+8+9+1=20\\ \\a_4^2=20^2=400\Rightarrow a_5=4+0+0+1=5\\ \\a_5^2=5^2=25\Rightarrow a_6=2+5+1=8\\ \\a_6^2=8^2=64\Rightarrow a_7=6+4+1=11\\ \\a_7^2=11^2=121\Rightarrow a_8=1+2+1+1=5\\ \\\text{and so on...}$

We can see the pattern

$a_5=a_8=a_{11}=a_{14}=...=5\\ \\a_6=a_9=a_{12}=a_{15}=...=8\\ \\a_7=a_{10}=a_{13}=a_{16}=...=11$

In other words, for all $k\ge 2$

$a_{3k-1}=5\\ \\a_{3k}=8\\ \\a_{3k+1}=11$

Now,

$a_{2018}=a_{3\cdot 673-1}=5$

For an average adult the surface area of the skin is about 19,000 square cm and the thickness of the skin ranges from about 0.5

That's not actually true for "this page", but I know what you mean.

19,000 / 630 = about 30 sheets of A4 paper to cover an average adult's body.

As a fringe benefit, Dennis Taylor receives a $31,000 life insurance policy from his employer. The probability that Dennis will

Paha777 [63]

In order to see the probaability of this we need to do an easy calculation here:
If X is the price for the policy, then we proceed like this:

0.982x = 0.0275*31,000

x = 0.0275*31,000/0.982

Minimum ammount he can expect to pay = $868.12
