Given the sequence: 8, 11, 14, 17,…, determine the 84th term and the sum of the first 59 terms.

1 answer:

8 0

It can be seen that the difference or subtraction between two successive terms of the sequence is always equal to 3.

11-8 = 3.
14-11 = 3.
This means that the following term is always equal to the previous term plus three.
Knowing this you can draw a formula or "rule" for succession.
Assuming that the term 0 or X0 of the sequence is 8, then:

X (n) = 8 + 3n.
So, the term 84 is:
X (84) = 5 + 3 * (84).
X (84) = 260.
The series would be:
∑ 8 + 3x. from x=0 to x=59
The result of that sum is: 5790

Solve the inequality 5x - 4 > 4 - 3x<br>

olga55 [171]

Answer:

x>1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 4 > 4 - 3x

Add 3x to each side

5x+3x - 4 > 4 - 3x+3x

8x -4 > 4

Add 4 to each sdie

8x-4+4 > 4+4

8x> 8

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 >8/8

x > 1

#10-1 : What is the probability of randomly choosing a diamond card from a regular deck of 52 cards? What is the probability of

Alchen [17]

$\huge{\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}}\ \ \huge{\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}}$

There are $13$ of each suit in a deck of $52$ cards.

This means the probability of drawing a diamond card is $\frac{13}{52}$ . You can divide the numerator and denominator each by $13$ to simplify. $\frac{13}{52} \div \frac{13}{13} = \boxed{\frac{1}{4}}$

Since there are the same number of clubs as there are diamonds, the probabilities are the same.

Which pairs of points would result in a line with a rate of change of 2:1? Select all that apply.

Helen [10]

Answer:

Options A, C, D are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose the pair of points from that given in the attached file which will result in a line with a rate of change i.e. slope of 2:1 i.e. 2.

A. The points are (-4,-11) and (-2,-7).

Then the slope of the joining line is $\frac{-7-(-11)}{-2-(-4)} =2$
