Answer:
a) Arithmetic yₙ = 3*(n - 1) + 13
b) Geometric yₙ = 2*5⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾
Step-by-step explanation:
All we can determine from the information that you have given us is that
yz should be proportionally related to bc, because their triangles are similar.
The answer to this question would be: p+q+r = 2 + 17 + 39= 58
In this question, p q r is a prime number. Most of the prime number is an odd number. If p q r all odd number, it wouldn't be possible to get 73 since
odd x odd + odd= odd + odd = even
Since 73 is an odd number, it is clear that one of the p q r needs to be an even number.
There is only one odd prime number which is 2. If you put 2 in the r the result would be:
pq+2= 73
pq= 71
There will be no solution for pq since 71 is prime number. That mean 2 must be either p or q. Let say that 2 is p, then the equation would be: 2q + r= 73
The least possible value of p+q+r would be achieved by founding the highest q since its coefficient is 2 times r. Maximum q would be 73/2= 36.5 so you can try backward from that. Since q= 31, q=29, q=23 and q=19 wouldn't result in a prime number r, the least result would be q=17
r= 73-2q
r= 73- 2(17)
r= 73-34=39
p+q+r = 2 + 17 + 39= 58
The answer I got was -3x^(3)+6
