A recursive definition for the sequence shown above can be x = n-5.
21 - 5 = 16
16 - 5 = 11
11 - 5 = 6
and so on...
The number sequence has a difference of 5 in each of the values before and after them.
The absolute value of a number can never be negative. That's because it represents the distance of a number from zero on a number line. The number

is

digits to the left of zero on a number line. So, the absolute value of

would be

.

The problem presents 2 variables and 2 conditions to follow to determine the approach in solving the problem. The variables are 52 cards, and 9 cards. The 2 conditions presented would be the teacher giving out one card to each student at a time to each student until all of them are gone. The second variable is more likely made as a clue and the important variable that gives away the approach to be used. The approach to be used is division. This is to ensure that there will be students receiving the 9 cards. Thus, we do it as this: 52 / 9 = ?
The answer would be 5.77778 (wherein 7 after the decimal point is infinite and 8 would just be the rounded of number). This would ensure us that there will be 5 students that can receive 9 cards but there will be 7 cards remaining which goes to the last student, which is supposed to be 8 since she gives one card to each student at a time to each student. So the correct answer would be just 4 students. The fifth student will only receive 8 cards and the last student would have 8, too.
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x –7 = -16
3x = -16 + 7
3x = -9
x = -3
Answer:
10,404/334,084
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the polynomial
289r^2 - 102r + c
We are to find the value of c that will make it a perfect square
Divide through by 289
289r²/289 - 102r/289 + c/289
Half of the coefficient of r is 1/2(102/289)
Half of the coefficient of r = 102/578
Square the result
r² = (102/578)²
r² = 10,404/334,084
Hence the required constant is 10,404/334,084
