Answer:

3. f(12) = -10; f(37) = -60

4. f(12) = -102; f(37) = -352

Step-by-step explanation:

3. Put the numbers in the formula and do the arithmetic:

f(12) = 12 -2(12-1) = 12 -22 = -10

f(37) = 12 -2(37-1) = 12 -72 = -60

4. The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is ...

an = a1 +d(n -1)

Your sequence has a first term a1=8 and a common difference d=-10.

As above, fill in the numbers and do the arithmetic.

f(12) = 8 -10(12 -1) = -102

f(37) = 8 -10(37-1) = -352

What is the value of 4p-2 when p=8

3241004551 [841]

Answer: Hence, the value of expression is 30 when p = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$4p-2$

and we have p = 8.

So, we substitute the value of p in the above expression.

so, it becomes,

$4(8)-2\\\\4\times 8-2\\\\=32-2\\\\=30$

Hence, the value of expression is 30 when p = 8.

Jake is using a horse trailer to take his horses to his new ranch. 1 Horse= 1,200 lb Trailer= 2,700 lb Jake's truck can tow a ma

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Jack can take only 1 horse on his trailer to be towed by the truck without going over the maximum weight the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of 1 horse = 1,200 lb

Weight of trailer = 2,700 lb

Jacks'truck can tow a maximum of 5000 pounds.

To find the maximum number of horses Jack can take in his trailer without going over the maximum weight his truck can tow.

Solution:

Let the maximum number of horses that Jack can take be = $x$

Using unitary method to find weight of $x$ horses.

If 1 horse weights = 1,200 lb

Then $x$ horses will weight in lbs = $1,200\times x = 1,200x$

Total weight of horses and trailer in lbs = $1200x+2700$

Since the maximum weight the truck can tow = 5,000 lb, so the inequality can be given as:

$1200x+2700\leq5000$

Subtracting both sides by 2700.

$1200x+2700-2700\leq5000-2700$

$1200x\leq2300$

Dividing both sides by 1200.

$\frac{1200x}{1200}\leq\frac{2300}{1200}$

$x\leq1.91$

From the inequality solution for $x$ , we can conclude that Jack can take only 1 horse on his trailer to be towed by the truck without going over the maximum weight the truck.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, 3) and (7,9).

dybincka [34]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{slope=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points

$(-5;\ 3)\to x_1=-5;\ y_1=3\\(7;\ 9)\to x_2=7;\ y_2=9$

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{9-3}{7-(-5)}=\dfrac{6}{7+5}=\dfrac{6}{12}=\dfrac{6:6}{12:6}=\dfrac{1}{2}$
