Honestly I can see an argument for 7 shelves or for 8 shelves. 

When you do the calculation; \frac{422}{59}=7.15 You get 7.15 shelves. Clearly you cannot have .15 of a shelf so the logician in me wants to say you need 8 shelves! 

But if the assignment is aimed estimation skills, (Which is what I assume is being implied by the title of the assignment), then the easier calculation of \frac{420}{60}=7 is probably what the teacher was hoping for.

You might have been accidentally been calculating \frac{59}{422} =.139. Remember division is NOT communitive! i.e.1\div2\neq2\div1.

From the image;
The first step was to see that 59 can not go into 4..resulting in the zero above the 4, multiplying 0 by 59 and subtracting 0 from 4. 

The second step begins by bringing down the 2, seeing that 59 can not go into 42..resulting in the zero above the 2, multiplying 0 by 59 and subtracting 0 from 42.

The third step begins by bringing down the 2, seeing that 59 can go into 422 7 times (I tested this on the right by a short multiplication problem)..resulting in the 7 above the 2, multiplying 7 by 59 and subtracting 413 from 42.

This process continues....

You have to round it up. So it will be 8 shelves.

Use explicit formula to find the 10th of each geometric sequence
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

1. 1*9^(10-1) = 387,420,489

2.2*4^(10-1) = 524,288

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is a1 * r^n-1

Where a1 is your first term, r is your ratio, and n is the amount of terms you want in the sequence

To solve for the 10th number in the sequence, we simply plug 10 in for n.

Hope this helps

8. Charlotte is given the equation 3x - 4y = 12. She needs to create a graph of the equation, but
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

<u>Graphing From An Equation: </u>

Equation are frequently written in slope-intercept form { y = mx+b}.

Which "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.

<u>Solutions and Equation:</u>

Solutions to linear equations contain any points located on the graphed line.

Ordered Pair = Solution to an equation if it's values are substituted in the equation which makes it true

Solve:

{x = 0 }       3(0) - 4y = 12

                       -4y = 12                                 (0, -3 )

                       -4y/-4 = 12/-4

                                y = -3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{y = 0}                  3x-4(0) =12

                                3x = 12              (4,0)

                                 3x/3 = 12/3

                                        x = 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
