Answer:

-17 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your starting point is 7.

Next you know that it goes down by 3.

Finally you are looking for the 8th term.

So in all it would look like this. -3(8) + 7

Answer:

$a_{8}$ = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 7 and d = - 3, thus

$a_{8}$ = 7 + (7 × - 3) = 7 - 21 = - 14

Susie is solving the quadratic

topjm [15]

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard equation of a quadratic function is,

ax² + bx + c

Comparing this function with the given quadratic function,

f(x) = 2x² - 4x - 3

a = 2, b = -4 and c = -3

By using quadratic formula to get the value of x,

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

= $\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(2)(-3)} }{2(2)}$

= $\frac{4\pm\sqrt{16+24}}{4}$

= $\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{40}}{4}$

= $\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{10}}{2}$

Therefore, Susie made a mistake in step IV.

Option (D) is the answer.

Suppose w=xy+yzw=xy+yz, where x=e2t, y=2+sin(4t)x=e2t, y=2+sin⁡(4t), and z=2+cos(5t)z=2+cos⁡(5t).

Volgvan

$w(x,y,z)=xy+yz$
$x(t)=e^{2t}$
$y(t)=2+\sin4t$
$z(t)=2+\cos5t$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dw}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial x}\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial y}\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial z}\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dt}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dw}{\mathrm dt}=y\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}+(x+z)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}+y\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dt}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dw}{\mathrm dt}=2ye^{2t}+4(x+z)\cos4t-5y\sin5t$

Which number is greater 20% or 0.02

mylen [45]

To compare these two values, we need them to be in the same form.

To convert 20% into a decimal, we divide 20/100, or 0.20.

When comparing decimals, we know that 0.2 > 0.02.

Therefore, 20% > 0.02. (20% is greater than 0.02)
