Answer:

26.1miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If three cities A, B and C form a right triangle on a map, and the Cities B and C are the furthest apart, then the distance between cities B and C will be the hypotenuse of the triangle.

If cities A and B are 14 miles apart, then |AB| = 14miles

Also if cities A and C are 22 miles apart, then |AC| = 22miles.

To get |BC| which is the distance between cities B and C, we will use the Pythagoras theorem.

|BC|² = |AB|² + |AC|²

|BC|² = 14²+22²

|BC|² = 196+484

|BC|² = 680

|BC| = √680

|BC| = 26.1miles

This means that cities B and C are 26.1miles apart

Classify the equation, 7x+6=7x-5, as having one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 6 = 7x - 5

Collecting like terms

7x - 7x = -5 - 6

The x is canceled out so no solution

(4,7,12,19) How do you right this in recursive and explicit equations??????? pls help
Soloha48 [4]

You can see how the difference between two consecutive terms is constantly increasing:

a_1 = 4

a_2 = 7 = 4+3

a_3 = 12 = 7+5

a_4 = 19 = 12+7

So, for the next terms we'll have to add +9, +11, +13 and so on.

Also, note that a_2 is obtained by adding the 2nd odd number to a_1, a_3 is obtained by adding the 3rd odd number to a_2, and so on.

So, the recursive formula is

a_n = a_{n-1}+(2n-1),\quad a_1=1

For the explicit formula, recall that the sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared. Taking into account the fact that we're not starting from 1, we have

a_n = n^2+3
