Answer: B)-4

Step-by-step explanation:

In Arithmetic sequence , the common difference is the difference between any two successive terms. It is equal throughout the sequence.

Given arithmetic sequence : 51, 47, 43, 39, ...

Here , First term = 51

Second term = 47

Then the common difference = Second term - First term

i.e. Common difference = 47-51 =-(51-47)=-4

Hence, the common difference between consecutive terms in the following arithmetic sequence= -4

Thus , the correct answer is option B)-4 .

ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in ﬁnding the x-intercept.

EastWind [94]

The x-intercept is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the x-intercept, we put y = 0 and to find the y-intercept we put x = 0

In the given method, x is put equal to zero instead of y as x-intercept had to be found.

Given equation is:

$-2x+3y=12$

$-2x + 3(0) = 12\\-2x +0 = 12\\-2x = 12$

Dividing both sides by -2

$\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{12}{-2}\\x = -6$

The x-intercept is -6

5) Establish the indentity (cot + tan ) sin = sec . Show each step to justify your conclusion.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Identities : -

cot = cos / sin

tan = sin / cos

( cot + tan ) sin = sec

LHS

= ( cot + tan ) sin

= ( ( cos / sin ) + ( sin / cos ) ) sin

= ( ( cos sin ) / sin ) + ( sin² / cos )

= cos + ( sin² / cos )

LCM = cos

= ( cos² / cos ) + ( sin² / cos )

= ( cos² + sin² ) / cos

Identity : -

cos² + sin² = 1

= 1 / cos

= sec

= RHS

Hence proved.

What is an equation of the line in slope intercept form? M=2/3 and y intercept is (0,-3)

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

y= (2/3)x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

M is equal to the slope in y=mx+b form. And the y intercept is equal to (0, -3), therefore the b part of the formula is -3.
