We have 26 - 18 = 8; 34 - 26 = 8; 42 - 34 = 8; (an arithmetic progression)
We use the formula an = a1 + (n-1)x8 (the explicit formula)
So, an = 18 + (n-1)x8 ;
Then, an = 8n + 10;
Finally, a52 = 8x52 + 10 = 426 (the 52nd term);

Simplify the difference.

mr_godi [17]

$\displaystyle\frac{n^2-10n+24}{n^2-13n+42}-\frac{9}{n-7}=\frac{(n-6)(n-4)}{(n-6)(n-7)}-\frac{9}{n-7}\\\\=\frac{n-4}{n-7}-\frac{9}{n-7}=\frac{n-4-9}{n-7}\\\\=\frac{n-13}{n-7}$

The last choice is appropriate.

Zahir completes 1/5 of his homework in 5/15 of an hour. How much time will

kogti [31]

Answer:

t = 100 minutes, or 1 hr, 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

5/15 of 1 hour is the same as 5/15 of 60 minutes, which is 20 minutes

you can set up a proportion of hw completed / minutes = hw completed / min:

(1/5 ÷ 20) = (1 ÷ t) we use '1' to indicate all homework (or 100% of hw) and 't' to indicate time required

cross-multiply to get:

20 = 5/t

t = 100 minutes, or 1 hr, 40 minutes

Need help!! You can buy 10 yogurts for $6.50. How much would it cost for nine yogurts!?

ahrayia [7]

To solve this problem, you should find the rate ---> cost per yogurt (cost/yogurt)

$6.50/10 yogurts = $0.65/yogurt

It costs $0.65 per yogurt, so you can multiply 9 by $0.65 to find the total cost of 9 yogurt.

9(0.65) = $5.85

Use the Quadratic Formula to solve the equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) 13x^2 +1 = -10

12345 [234]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is :

$13x^2 +1 = -10x\\\\or\\\\13x^2+10x+1=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation is :

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Put a = 13, b = 10 and c = 1

So,

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4(13)(1)} }{2(13)}\\\\x=-0.118, -0.651$

Hence, this is the required solution.
