Answer:

50n

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using concept of Arithmetic progression(AP)

In AP series

the series increases or decreases by certain number which is called common difference.

common difference d is given by

d= nth term - (n-1)th term

nth term = a + (n-1)d

where a is the first term of the series

thus series can be a , a+d, a+2d, a+3d, a+4d, ...........a + (n-1)d

_______________________________________

Given series

50, 100, 150, 200

a = 50

to find d lets use 3rd term as nth term and 2nd term as (n-1)th term

d = 150 -100 = 50

Thus,

nth term = 50 + 50(n-1) = 50 + 50n -50 = 50n

50n can represent the position of the term of the sequence.

To validate this lets put n = 4

50*4 = 200 which is the same as the fourth term given in the series.

hence our solution is correct.

Determine the equation for the parabola graphed below?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2} x² - 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

From the graph (h, k) = (2, - 1), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 1

To find a substitute a point on the curve (0, 1) into the equation

1 = 4a - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )

4a = 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}, hence

y = \frac{1}{2}(x - 2)² - 1 ← in vertex form

Expand the factor and simplify

y = \frac{1}{2}(x² - 4x + 4) - 1

  = \frac{1}{2} x² - 2x + 2 - 1

  = \frac{1}{2} x² - 2x + 1 ← in standard form

Brett writes a number that is the same distance from O as TO 6on a number line, but in the opposite direction. Whatnumber did Br
Gennadij [26K]

since the number is going on the opposite it must be a negative integrer.

and since the number was 6 units away from 0, it should be the half point between the points.

number = 3

since it is going in the oppsoite direction it should be -3

Answer:

B. The ratio of the area of the scale drawing to the area of the painting is 1:16

C. The ratio of the perimeter of the scale drawing to the perimeter of the painting is 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the area of similar figures/shapes = the square of the ratio of any of their side lengths

Since the scale drawing of the rectangular painting and the actual rectangular painting are similar, therefore,

The ratio of the area of the scale drawing to the painting = 1²:4²

= 1:16

Also, comparing the ratio of the perimeter of the scale drawing to the perimeter of the painting will be the same as the scale factor = 1:4

From 1980 to 1990, the consumer price index (CPI) increased from 82.4 to 130.7. If a gallon of apple juice cost $0.95 in 1980 an
ryzh [129]
Answer: C $1.51

To solve this, start with a proportion. Put the CPI numbers on the left and the apple juice prices on the right.

You will have:

82.4/130.7 = 0.95/x

Cross multiply to solve and you will get the price of the juice is $1.51.
