In an arithmetic sequence:
Tn=t₁+(n-1)d

t₄=t₁+(4-1)d=t₁+3d
t₅=t₁+(5-1)d=t₁+4d
t₆=t₁+(6-1)d=t₁+5d

t₄+t₅+t₆=(t₁+3d) +(t₁+4d)+(t₁+5d)=3t₁+12d

Therefore:
3t₁+12d=300    (1)


t₁₅=t₁+(15-1)d=t₁+14d
t₁₆=t₁+(16-1)d=t₁+15d
t₁₇=t₁+(17-1)d=t₁+16d

t₁₅+t₁₆+t₁₇=(t₁+14d)+(t₁+15d)+(t₁+16d)=3t₁+45d

Therefore:
3t₁+45d=201    (2)

With the equations (1) and (2) we make an system of equations:

3t₁+12d=300
3t₁+45d=201

we can solve this system of equations by reduction method.

  3t₁+12d=300
-(3t₁+45d=201)
-----------------------------
       -33d=99      ⇒d=99/-33=-3

3t₁+12d=300
3t₁+12(-3)=300
3t₁-36=300
3t₁=300+36
3t₁=336
t₁=336/3
t₁=112

Threfore:

Tn=112+(n-1)(-3)
Tn=112-3n+3
Tn=115-3n

Now, we calculate T₁₈:

T₁₈=115-3(18)=115-54=61

Answer: T₁₈=61

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

f^{-1} = \frac{x-1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x+1

<em>Replace it with y</em>

y = 2x+1

<em>Exchange the values of  x and y</em>

x = 2y+1

<em>Solve for y</em>

x = 2y+1

<em>Subtracting 1 from both sides</em>

2y = x-1

<em>Dividing both sides by 2</em>

y = \frac{x-1}{2}

<em>Replace it by </em>f^{-1}

So,

f^{-1} = \frac{x-1}{2}

Order from least to greatest 61% , 0.605, 3/5, 59%
krek1111 [17]
So you'd have to convert all of the values to one form, and I find it easiest to do it in decimals. 61% would be 0.61, 0.605 stays the same, 3/5 would be 0.6, and 59% would be 0.59. Now you can order them:
0.59, 0.6, 0.605, 0.61
You have to convert them back to their original form, however, so your answer would be
59%, 3/5, 0.605, 61%
I hope this helps!
