 Answer:  " (3,1)  is the point that is halfway between <em>A</em> and <em>B</em>. " 
__________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________
We know that there is a "straight line segment" along the y-axis between
 "point A"  and "point B" ;  since, we are given that: 
___________________________________________
 1)  Points A, B, C, and D form a rectangle;  AND:
 
 2) We are given the coordinates for each of the 4 (FOUR points); AND:
 
 3) The coordinates of  "Point A" (3,4)  and "Point B" (3, -2) ; have the same "x-coordinate" value.
________________________________________________
  We are asked to find the point that is "half-way" between A and B.
________________________________________________
  We know that the x-coordinate of this "half-way" point is three.

We can look at the "y-coordinates" of BOTH "Point A" and "Point B".
___________________________
which are "4" and "-2",  respectively.

Now, let us determine the MAGNITUDE of the number of points along the "y-axis" between "y = 4" and y = -2 . 

The answer is:  "6" ;  since, from y = -2 to 0 , there are 2 points, or 2 "units" from y = -2 to y = 0 ;  then, from y = 0 to y = 4, there are 4 points, or 4 "units".

Adding these together,  2 + 4 = 6 units.
______________________________________________
So, the "half-way" point would be 1/2  of  6 units, or 3 units.
__________________________________________________
So, from y = -2 to y = 4 ;  we could count 3 units between these points, along the "y-axis".   Note, we could count "2" units from  "y = -2"  to "y = 0". 
Then we could count one more unit, for a total of 3 units;  from y = 0 to y = 1;  and that would be the answer (y-coordinate of the point).
______________________________________________
Alternately, or to check this answer, we could determine the "halfway" point along the "y-axis" from "y = 4" to "y = -2" ; by counting 3 units along the "y-axis" ; starting starting with "y = 4" ; note:  4 - 3 = 1 ; which is the "y-coordinate" of our answer; that is: "y = 1" ;  and the same y-coordinate we have from the previous (aforementioned) method above.
______________________________________________
We know the "x-coordinate" is "3" ; so the answer:
_________________________________________________
   " (3,1)  is the point that is halfway between <em>A</em> and<em> B </em>."

Snowcat [4.5K]
Digit 3 on the 10 side has a value of 3 tens or 30. We want to find the digit that has exactly 10 times that value. well, 10 × 30 = 300. So which digit has the value of 300? The other 3 is in the 100's place and it's value is 3 one hundreds or 300. So that is your digit... the 3 in the hundreds place.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

(a)n^{th} = n

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) + 1

(b)n^{th} = 2^{n-1}

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) * 2

(c)n^{th} = n!

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) * n

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) This is a sequence of consecutive number

n^{th} = n

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) + 1

(b) This is a sequence of 2 to the power of n - 1. The next number is twice time of this number

n^{th} = 2^{n-1}

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) * 2

(c) This is factorial sequence. Where the next number is this number multiplied by n^{th}

n^{th} = n!

f(1) = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) * n
