Answer:

B. 47

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence goes up by 2 each time, so to find the nth term, start with 2n.

For n = 1, 2n = 2(1) = 2, but we need 3, so modify to 2n + 1.

For n = 1, 2n + 1 = 2(1) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3

For n = 2, 2n + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

For n = 3, 2n + 1 = 2(3) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7

Try n = 4 and 5, and you will get 9 and 11, respectively.

2n + 1 works for any term n, where n is natural number.

For the 23rd term, n = 23.

2n + 1 = 2(23) + 1 = 46 + 1 = 47

Answer:

B. 47

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1+d(n-1)

a1 =3   (it is the first term)

We can find the common difference by taking the second term and subtracting the first term

5-3 =2

d=2

n = the term number we are looking for

an = 3 + 2(n-1)

We are looking for the 23rd term so n=23

a23 = 3 +2(23-1)

      = 3 +2(22)

      = 3+44

      = 47

If perpendiculars from any point within an angle on its arms are equal, prove that it lies on the bisector of that angle
Oxana [17]
Your question can be quite confusing, but I think the gist of the question when paraphrased is: P<span>rove that the perpendiculars drawn from any point within the angle are equal if it lies on the angle bisector?

Please refer to the picture attached as a guide you through the steps of the proofs. First. construct any angle like </span>∠ABC. Next, construct an angle bisector. This is the line segment that starts from the vertex of an angle, and extends outwards such that it divides the angle into two equal parts. That would be line segment AD. Now, construct perpendicular line from the end of the angle bisector to the two other arms of the angle. This lines should form a right angle as denoted by the squares which means 90° angles. As you can see, you formed two triangles: ΔABD and ΔADC. They have congruent angles α and β as formed by the angle bisector. Then, the two right angles are also congruent. The common side AD is also congruent with respect to each of the triangles. Therefore, by Angle-Angle-Side or AAS postulate, the two triangles are congruent. That means that perpendiculars drawn from any point within the angle are equal when it lies on the angle bisector

Alright, so the sum of two days is going to equal zero.
The variable here is what Jesse got on the first day. Let's call it "x".
x-6=0
x is the first day's score, -6 is the second day's score, and the total score is zero.
Now, add 6 to both sides.
x-6=0
+6   +6
x=6
Jesse's score for the first day was (+)6.

Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y? x 2 3 5 6 y 3 4 7 9 x 4 6 8 10 y 6 8 10 12 x 1 5 8 10 y 15 75 120
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Only the 3rd table shows a proportional relation between x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first table is  

x 2 3 5 6  

y 3 4 7 9

Here y is not increasing in uniform rate with x. So, the relation is not proportional.

The second table is  

x 4 6 8 10  

y 6 8 10 12

Here y is increasing in uniform rate with x, but at x = 0, y ≠ 0, Hence, the relationship is not proportional.

The third table is  

x 1 5 8 10  

y 15 75 120 150

Here, y is increasing in uniform rate with x, and  at x = 0, y = 0, Hence, the relationship is proportional.

The fourth table shows

x 3 9 10 15  

y 1 3 4 5

Here also y is not increasing in uniform rate with x. So, the relation is not proportional.

Therefore, only the 3rd table shows a proportional relation between x and y. (Answer)
