8, 3, -2, -7

basically

you have to figure how to get from one term to the other. so in this case, to get from 8 to 3, you have to minus 5. and same again to get from 3 to -2, you again have to -5.

so the first past of the answer is -5n.

then after that, you have to figure out how to get from -5, to the first term of your sequence. so you have to add 13, in this case.

your answer would then be

Answer:

-5x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the nth term, you must find the difference between each consecutive given terms.

So,

8 and 3 = -5

3 and -2 = -5

-2 and -7 = -5

This is the m in the equation mn+c

c is the value you must add to -5n when n is 1

Hope this helps

Tomas and Tasha were hiking at a speed of 3.5 mph. On their way back, they were tired and their speed was 2 mph. How long was th

Anna35 [415]

To get the length of the route use the expression for speed,

Distance = Speed × Time

Length of the route is 7 miles.

It's given in the question,

Speed of Tomas and Tasha initially = 3.5 mph

Therefore, distance travelled by both with the speed of 2 mph one way will be,

Distance = 3.5t [Here, t = time ]

Speed of both while coming back = 2 mph

And the time taken = t + (1 hour 30 minutes)

= (t + 1.5) hours

Therefore, distance travelled while coming back = Speed × Time

= 2(t + 1.5)

Since, length of the route is same both ways,

3.5t = 2(t + 1.5)

3.5t = 2t + 3

3.5t - 2t = 3

1.5t = 3

t = 2 hours

Now substitute the value of t in the expression to get the distance of the route,

Distance = 3.5t

= 3.5 × 2

= 7 miles

Therefore, route was 7 miles long.

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-4,1) to (1,6) that partitions the segment into a ratio

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a segment is partitioned at a ratio of 1:3, then the point is one-fourth of the distance from (-4,-1) to (2,7).

To compute the x-coordinate of that point, you will need to compute one-fourth of the x-distance between 2 and -4 then add it to -4: (2--4)/4 = 1.5; 1.5 + -4 = -2.5.

To compute the y-coordinate of that point, you will need to compute one-fourth of the y-distance between 7 and -1 then add it to -1: (7--1)/4 = 2; 2 + -1 = 1.

The point is (-2.5,1)

You are gathering data in the store, recording which shirt is tried on the most. The data you gather is... A) bivariate B) categ

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

(D) Quantitative

Step-by-step explanation:

Bivariate data involves two types of variables. Categorical data will have a number of different categories. Continuous data usually includes a range of values so is likely to be in decimals. Quantitative data will be collected in this scenario as it will be calculated the number of times each shirt is tried on.
