In order to solve for a nth term in an arithmetic sequence, we use the formula written as:<span>

an = a1 + (n-1)d

where an is the nth term, a1 is the first value in the sequence, n is the term position and d is the common difference.

First, we need to calculate for d from the given values above.  
<span>a3 = 20.5 and a8 = 13
</span>

an = a1 + (n-1)d
20.5 = a1 + (3-1)d

</span>an = a1 + (n-1)d
13 = a1 + (8-1)d
<span>
a1 = 23.5
d = -1.5

The 11th term is calculated as follows:

a11 = a1 + (n-1)d
a11= 23.5 + (11-1)(-1.5)
a11 = 8.5</span>

A 30 inch board is to be cut into three pieces? a 30 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is 4 tim
Ostrovityanka [42]
Total length of the board = 30 inch 

Length of,

-- First piece = x

-- Second piece = 4x

-- Third piece = 5x

5x + 4x + x = 30

10x = 30 

x = 3

Therefore, the lengths of:

-- First piece = 3 inch

-- Second piece = 4*3 = 12 inch

-- Third piece = 5*3 = 15 inch

What function is graphed below?
tester [92]
The answer for the exercise shown above is the first option, which is:
<span> f(x)=log(x-3) 
 The explanation is shown below:
 If you substitute the x in the function for values, you will obtain the graph attached above. As you can see on the mentioned graph, when the variable x has the value 4, the value y is 0. Therefore, you have:
 </span> f(x)=log(x-3) 
  f(x)=log(4-3) 
  f(x)=log(1)
  f(x)=0<span>
