While training for a marathon, Jeff wants to increase the number of miles he runs each day. On the first day of training, Jeff r

uns 5 miles. He plans on increasing the number of miles he runs a day by 1 for the remainder of the week. Write a series to model the situation.
Also the series doesn't have to be more than seven numbers*****

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

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

20/2 + 8

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2

20 / 2

2 / 2

Divide the numbers

10

2 / 2

=

10 / 1

Any expression divided by 1 remains the same

10 + 8 = 18

We have to determine the constant in the equation, which shows how Eric can calculate his profit ( y ). He sells each shirt for $4 and he has total expenses: $100 + $10 = $110. So the equation for profit is: y = 4 x - 100. In this equation y is dependent variable, x is independent variable, 4 is coefficient and - 100 is the constant. A constant is a number ( a quantity that does not vary ). Answer: D ) - 110<span>.</span>

The weight of oranges growing in an orchard is normally distributed with a mean weight of 6.5 oz. and a standard deviation of 1.
sergey [27]
Add 3 standard deviations above and below the mean to get the range in which 99.7% of the data in a normal distribution will fall
6.5 + 4.5 = 11
6.5 - 4.5 = 2
So 2 to 11 ounces would be the interval
