Answer:

The series is 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the arithmetic series

- In the arithmetic series there is a constant difference between

 each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 2  ,  5  ,  8  ,  11  ,  ……………………….  (constant difference is 3)

# 5  ,  10  ,  15  ,  20  ,  …………………………  (constant difference is 5)

# 12  ,  10  ,  8  ,  6  ,  ……………………………  (constant difference is -2)

* General term (nth term) of an Arithmetic series:

- If the first term is a and the common diffidence is d, then

 U1 = a  ,  U2  = a + d  ,  U3  = a + 2d  ,  U4 = a + 3d  ,  U5 = a + 4d

- So the nth term is Un = a + (n – 1)d, where n is the position of the

 number in the series

* Lets solve the problem

- Jeff wants to increase the number of miles he runs each day

∴ He will add the initial value by constant number each day

- He plans on increasing the number of miles he runs a day by 1

∴ The constant value is 1 mile

-  On the first day of training, Jeff runs 5 miles

∴ The first value is 5 miles

∴ The series is arithmetic

∵ a = 5 , d = 1

- He do that for the remainder of the week

∵ The week has 7 days

∴ The series has 7 terms

∵ The rule of the series is Un = a + (n - 1)d

∵ a = 5 and d = 1

∴ Un = 5 + (n - 1)(1)

∴ Un = 5 + n - 1

∴ Un = 4 + n ⇒ n is the position of the number

- Substitute n from 1 to 7 to find the series

∴ The series is 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11

50 points!!! please hurry
Margarita [4]

Answer:

It comes down to what the equals sign means. It means,  that the two things mentioned on either side of the equation are the same thing. If you do something to the left side, you have presumably changed it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps, If it did, then I would really appreciate it if you gave me Brainliest, I only need one more to rank up and it has taken forever to get to where I am currently. Thanks.

Calculate the discriminant and use it to determine how many real-number roots the equation has.
Vladimir79 [104]
In a quadratic equation with the general formula of:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

The discriminant is equal to b^2 - 4(a)(c). If the answer is a perfect square, then there are two real numbers. If not, then there are no real number root.

The discriminant for this equation is

(-6)^2 - 4(3)(1) = 24

Since 24 is not a perfect square, there are no real number roots.
