F(n) = 1st term - common difference (n - 1)

The operation is subtraction because the sequence is decreasing.

n = number of the term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence, in this case, 16
common difference = difference between one number to the next

f(n) = 16 - 1(n-1)

Assuming we are looking for the 5th term.
f(5) = 16 - 1(5-1)
       = 16 - 1(4)
       = 16 - 4
       = 12     * as you can see, 12 is the 5th term of the sequence.

If you are looking for the equivalent of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number you are looking for and solve the equation.

Morgan is reupholstering an old chair with two circular cushions. Each cushion has a circumference of 7. 85 feet. He will need t
kramer

The total fabric Morgan needs to cover the cushions will be 19.64 square feet.

It is given that each cushion has a circumference of 7.85 feet.

It is known that the circumference of a circle = 2πr, where 'r' is the radius of the circle.

2πr = 7.85

r = 1.25

<h3>What is an area of a circle?</h3>

area of a circle is πr².

now, we can calculate the area = π× 1.25² = 4.91 square feet

since each circular cushion has two circular faces so the total number of faces Morgan needs to cover will be 4.

Therefore, the total fabric needed= 4×4.91 = 19.64 square feet.

hodyreva [135]

Here we can see that the problem gives us the length of a sandwich of x = 1.2. The problem also asks us for the expression that better represents the approximate length of the crust given among the options above. Here we simply have to substitute x to each of the choices.


The answer is B) x = 8x² + 34; 45.52 centemiters
