10, 14, 18 ....

notice, we get the next term by simply adding 4 to the current term, thus "4" is the "common difference, and we know that 10 is the first term.

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}
\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
a_1=10\\
d=4\\
n=17
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_{17}=10+(17-1)(4)\implies a_{17}=10+(16)(4)
\\\\\\
a_{17}=10+64\implies a_{17}=74\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \textit{ sum of a finite arithmetic sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\cfrac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
----------\\
a_1=10\\
a_{17}=74\\
n=17
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
S_{17}=\cfrac{17(10+74)}{2}\implies S_{17}=\cfrac{17(84)}{2}\implies S_{17}=714

The answer would be 714.

Common difference =4An=A1+(n-1)dA17=10+(17-1)(4)=10+(16)(4)=10+64=74
Sn=n(a1+an)/2S17=17(10+74)/2=714<span />

Answer:

P=32m

A=48 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

if two shorter sides are 4m each and the two longer sides are 12 m

4+4+12+12 to find the total P

Area, time the LENGTH by WIDTH to find the squared meters in the rectangle .

Susan is writing a linear equation for the cost of her cell phone plan. In the first month, she talks for 52 minutes and is char
Alex787 [66]
Assuming that the cost per minute is the same for both months and the plan fee is the same, you can use y=mx+b for this

y is the cost of the phone plan, x is the cost per minute and b is the start cost.

so    19.41=25x+b for the first month
and  45.65=380x+b for the second month

solve both for b you get:
19.41-25x=b and 45.65-380x=b.  from this we get
19.41-25x=45.65-380x

solve for x

328x=26.24 and x=0.08

this means the cost per minute is 0.08c/min (answer A)

rewrite the equation to calculate b, and where this time, the x is the number of minutes talked.

y=0.08x+b and plug in one of the two months

45.65=0.08 * 380 + b

Solve for b and b is 15.25

so the final equation is

y=0.08x+15.25  (answer B)
