What is the value of the 30th term in the following arithmetic sequence? 12, 6, 0, -6, ... HELP!!!!

30 times by 6 because it goes down by 6 which is 180 and take awat from 12 which is -168
And don't forget that it is a negative. so leave a minus before the number.

The value of the 30th term is -168

According to our sequence, we are subtracting 6 every time. If we look at our number line though, we notice that we start 2 terms before we get to zero, so we an multiply our -6 by 28 because when we multiply we start from zero and the term we are wanting, our 30th term, is actually 28 terms away from zero. So:

-6 * 28 = -168

And this is our answer of the 30th term in the arithmetic sequence.

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day and feel free to let me know if you have nay further questions! :D

20 feet of ribbon, cutting ribbon into 7 1/2 inches or 6 3/4 inch lengths to make bracelets. Write an algebraic expression that

IRINA_888 [86]

ANSWER:

The algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

SOLUTION:

Given, 20 feet of ribbon, cutting ribbon into $7\frac{1}{2}$ inches or $6\frac{3}{4}$ inch lengths to make bracelets.

Let us convert the mixed fraction to improper fractions.

$7 \frac{1}{2}=\frac{7 \times 2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2} \text { and } 6 \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6 \times 4+3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}$

Let, the length of bracelets can be made be “x”

First we have to remove the excess length of ribbon and then we have to divide the remaining with length of bracelet we want.

$\text { number of ribbons }=\frac{\text { length of ribbon-excess ribbon.}}{\text {length of bracelet}}$

$\left.=\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feep }}{x}\right.}{x} \text { [we know that, }\{x\} \text { is fractional part of } x\right$ ]

So, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$

Now, let us find the algebraic expression for feet of ribbon to make 100 ribbons.

We have 100 bracelets of length x, then total length = 100 × x

length of ribbon = 100x inches

$\begin{array}{l}{=100 \mathrm{x} \times \frac{1}{12} \text { feet }} \\\\ {=\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }}\end{array}$

So, the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

Hence, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

One angle of a right triangle measures 78°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?

muminat

Answer:

12°

Step-by-step explanation:

a right triangle implies there is an angle that is 90°

another angle is 78°

the third angle is 180 - (90 + 78) = 180 - 168 = 12°
