Jane, Andre and Maria Picked Apple.
Let Jane = J – picked 2 times as many pounds as Andre
Andre = A – picked 3x as many times as maria
And Maria = M – picked 3 lesser than Andre

J = 2(A) = 2 (252) =504
A = 3(m) = 252
M = A / 3 = 252 / 3 = 84
Total Weight = 840 pounds

=> J + A + M = 840 pounds
=>a + (a/ 3) + 2a = 840
=> 3a + a + 6a = 2 520, this is multiplied by 3.
=> 10a = 2 520
=> a = 252

A circle passes through the vertices of a square of side 20cm.Find the radius of the circle.

algol13

Answer:

14,1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If a circle passes through the vertices of a square then the diagonal of a square is a circle diameter.

We use Pytagoras Theorem to find out the length (L) of the diagonal given that:

L² = (20)² + (20)²

L² = 2* (20)²

L = √2 * 20

L = 1,4142* 20

L = 28,28 cm

L diagonal in the square is a diameter of the circle then radius of a circle is:

r = L/2 ⇒ r = 28,28 /2 ⇒ r = 14,14 cm

An accounting machine operator wanted to divide an 85-minute job between two identical machines so that one machine would take o

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

To find how much time the machine that took the longer job is, you would create an equation in terms of X, the amount of time it takes one of the machines.

Please see the attached picture for the work.

51 minutes is the longer time.
34 minutes for the other machine.

Generate the nest three terms of each arithmetic sequence shown below.

o-na [289]

Answer:

A)2,6,10

B)2,-6,-18

C)-1,-3,-5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>A)a1=-2 and d=4</u>

We know that the arithmetic sequence formula is

$a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

Now

$a_{2}=a_{1}+(2-1)d$

$a_{2}=a_{1}+(1)d$

Substituting the given value we get

$a_{2}= -2+(1)4$

$a_{2}= -2+4$

$a_{2}= 2$

------------------------------------------

Similarly

$a_{3}=a_{1}+(3-1)d$

$a_{3}=a_{1}+(2)d$

Substituting the given value we get

$a_{3}= -2+(2)4$

$a_{3}= -2+8$

$a_{3}= 6$

-------------------------------------------------

$a_{4}=a_{1}+(4-1)d$

$a_{4}=a_{1}+(3)d$

Substituting the given value we get

$a_{4}= -2+(3)4$

$a_{4}= -2+16$

$a_{4}= 10$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>B</u><u> $a_n=a_{(n-1)}-8$ with $a_1=10$ </u>

$a_2=a_{(2-1)}-8$

$a_2=a_{1}-8$

Substituting the given value

$a_2= 10-8$

$a_2=2$

---------------------------------------------------------------------

$a_3=a_{(3-1)}-8$

$a_3=a_{2}-8$

Substituting the value

$a_3=2-8$

$a_3= -6$

---------------------------------------------------------------------

$a_4=a_{(4-1)}-8$

$a_4=a_{3}-8$

Substituting the value

$a_4= -6-8$

$a_4= -14$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>C) $a_1=3, a_2=1$ </u>

Here the difference is -2

the arithmetic sequence formula is

$a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

Now

$a_{3}=a_{1}+(3-1)d$

$a_{3}=a_{1}+(2)d$

Substituting the value we get

$a_{3}= 3+(2)-2$

$a_{3}= 3-4$

$a_{3}= -1$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$a_{4}=a_{1}+(4-1)d$

$a_{4}=a_{1}+(3)d$

Substituting the value we get

$a_{4}= 3+(3)-2$

$a_{4}= 3-6$

$a_{4}= -3$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$a_{5}=a_{1}+(5-1)d$

$a_{5}=a_{1}+(4)d$

Substituting the value we get

$a_{5}= 3+(4)-2$

$a_{5}= 3-8$

$a_{5}= -5$
