Answer:

The common difference is -5/4

T(n) = T(0)  - 5n/4,

where T(0) can be any number. d = -5/4

Assuming T(0) = 0, then first term

T(1) = 0 -5/4 = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

T(n) = T(0) + n*d

Let

S1 = T(x) + T(x+1) + T(x+2) + T(x+3) = 4*T(0) + (x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3)d = 240

S2 = T(x+4) + T(x+5) + T(x+6) + T(x+7) = 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d = 220

S2 - S1

= 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d - (4*T(0) + (x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4)d)

= (5+6+7+8 - 1 -2-3-4)d

= 4(4)d

= 16d

Since S2=220,  S1 = 240

220-240 = 16d

d = -20/16 = -5/4

Since T(0) has not been defined, it could be any number.

Find the inequality represented by the graph.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y intercept is 3

y - 4 = 3 ( x - 4)

y - 4 = 3x - 12

y < 3x - 8

not equal to because the line is dashed.

not greater than because the shading is below the line

On your lab bench, you have 2 mystery metal cubes. each cube has a mass of 10.0 grams. cube a has a density of 10 g/cm3. cube b
lianna [129]
To compare both, we find the volume of both cubes as follows:

V of cube A = 10 g / 10 g/cm^3 = 1 cm^3

V of cube B = 10 g / 0.37 g/cm^3 = 27 cm^3

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Each edge of cube b is three times larger than cube. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

What is the equation of a line perpendicular to:
Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

"perpendicular" means it creates a right angle (90°) with the original line.

a key element is the slope (the incline) of the line.

it is the factor of x (here 1/4 for the original line) and is defined as the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.

the given slope of 1/4 means that for every increase in x by 4 units y increases by 1 unit.

now if you want to draw a few random lines, and then draw lines that cross them with a right angle, you will see very quickly the relationship of the slopes of the crossing lines :

for the slope of the perpendicular line x and y of the original slope trade places (the ratio turns "upside-down") and the sign of the slope flips (if the original line goes up, then the perpendicular line goes down and vice versa. so + turns into -, and - into +).

so, our original slope 1/4 turns into -4/1 = -4.

we still have infinite possibilities to draw such a perpendicular line (more up or more down on the coordinate grid).

to finally "nail" one particular line we need to use the given point and solve for the y-intercept.

the general slope-intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, using the slope (-4) and the point (2, 5) we have

5 = -4×2 + b = -8 + b

13 = b

so, the full equation is

y = -4x + 13
