This is an arithmetic sequence with the common difference being 1
and if u have 1 cent on day 1 and 2 cents on day 2....then on day 40, u would have 40 cents....but we need the sum of all the days..
the sum of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula :
sn = n(a1 + an) / 2
n = number of terms = 40
a1 = first term = 1
an = last term = 40
now we sub
s(40) = 40(1 + 40) / 2
s(40) = 40(41)/2
s(40) = 1640/2
s(40) = 820.....820 cents = $ 8.20 <== the sum
Answer: The price for the computer = $1152
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first boy = F
Let the second boy = S
Let the price of computer = C
The second boy had 5/ 6 of the money the first had. I.e
S = 5/6 F
Then F = 6/5S ......(1)
The first boy had 7 /8 of the price of the computer. That is
F = 7/8C ....... (2)
Substitute F in (1) into (2)
6/5S = 7/8C
S = 5/6 × 7/8C
S = 35/48C ......(3)
Together they had $696.00 more than they need to pay. That is
F + S = C + 696 ........ (4)
Substitute equation 2 and 3 into 4
7/8C + 35/48C = C + 696
0.875C + 0.729C = C + 696
0.604C = 696
C = 696/0.604
C = 1152 dollars
Therefore, the price for the computer = $1152
Let's remember the equation for the volume of a cube:
V= x^3 where x is the length of one side
Since a cube has equal length for length, width, and height.
Now, use what you're given
V= 1331
And put that in terms of x
x^3 = 1331
Now solve for x!
x= cube root (1331)
Think about it! cube root of 1331 * cube root of 1331 * cube root of 1331... will equal 1331 m^3!
Hope this helps
Yes, patrick's answer is reasonable because that is the difference of 4832 and 2232.
Hope this helped! :D
Answer:
(0, -3) and (3, 0)
Explanation:
1st equation: y = x² -2x - 3
2nd equation : y = x - 3
Using substitution method:
x² -2x - 3 = x - 3 <em>exchange sides</em>
x² - 2x - x - 3 + 3 = 0 <em>simplify</em>
x² - 3x = 0 <em> take common factor</em>
x(x - 3) = 0 <em>simplify</em>
x = 0, 3
Solve for y:
when x is 0, y = x - 3 = 0 - 3 = -3
when x is 3, y = x - 3 = 3 - 3 = 0
