Answer:

<h2>C.  $1,689.00</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount spent by Tim be x and the amount spent by Nikko be y

If Tim spent $55 more than 2/3 of the amount that Nikko spent for his computer, then amount spent by Tim will be x = 55+2/3 y

Since the total amount that Tim and Nikko spent for their computers was $2,870 then;

x+y = $2,870

Substituting  x = 55+2/3y into the equation above, we will have;

55+2y/3 + y = 2,870

(165 + 2y)/3 + y = 2,870

(165 + 2y+3y)/3 = 2,870

cross multiply

165 + 2y+3y =  3*2870

165+5y = 8610

5y = 8610-165

5y = 8445

y = 8445/5

y = 1689

<em>Hence Nikko spent  a sum of $1,689.00 on his computer.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

as the common ratio is multiplying by 3 and the first term is 1 so from the rule (Tn=ar(power n-1 ) )

so the 11th term is 1*3(power 11-1 ) equal 3 power 10 equal 59048

How do you do number 1?<br>Whenever I tried to answer it, I always get fraction. help me.​
Flura [38]

Answer:

The pairs are (13,15) and (-15,-13).

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is an odd integer, the very next odd integer will be n+2.

n+1 is even (so we aren't using this number)

The sum of the squares of (n) and (n+2) is 394.

This means

(n)^2+(n+2)^2=394

n^2+(n+2)(n+2)=394

n^2+n^2+4n+4=394               since (a+b)(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2

Combine like terms:

2n^2+4n+4=394

Subtract 394 on both sides:

2n^2+4n-390=0

Divide both sides by 2:

n^2+2n-195=0

Now we need to find two numbers that multiply to be -195 and add up to be 2.

15 and -13 since 15(-13)=-195 and 15+(-13)=2

So the factored form is

(n+15)(n-13)=0

This means we have n+15=0 and n-13=0 to solve.

n+15=0

Subtract 15 on both sides:

n=-15

n-13=0

Add 13 on both sides:

n=13

So if n=13 , then n+2=15.

If n=-15, then n+2=-13.

Let's check both results

(n,n+2)=(13,15)

13^2+15^2=169+225=394.  So (13,15) looks good!

(n,n+2)=(-15,-13)

(-15)^2+(-13)^2=225+169=394.  So (-15,-13) looks good!
