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 .

If you are asked to find 621 divided by 59, how do you know the quotient will be greater than 10 before you actually divide. (my

Nitella [24]

For me, I know that this answer would be greater than 10 because for a fact, 621 and 59 aren't just perfect multiples of 10. But I don't know, because all humans don't really think alike. So, your teacher might say this doesn't work. Then in that case, I am very sorry. :0

But in any case, I hope this helps and have a good night! :D

What is the product of -2/7 and -3/6

Andrew [12]

Hey!

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

Product means multiplication.

-2/7 * -3/6 = -6/42 = -1/7

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

Hence, the answer is $\Large\boxed{\mathsf{-1/7}}$

I swear this is not a quiz it's a lesson and I just finished the quiz and I got to 70

I am Lyosha [343]

Step-by-step explanation:

Any coordinates in the shaded area are solutions. Any coordinates on the line are not a solution due to it being dashed. Anything in the non-shaded area is also not a solution. You can always check if you are right by plugging in the numbers.

Example: (1, -2)

-2 < 0.5(1) + 2

-2 < 0.5 + 2

-2 < 2.5

True, -2 is less than 2.5.

Another Example: (-2, 1)

1 < 0.5(-2) + 2

1 < -1 + 2

1 < 1

False, 1 is not less than itself.

The product (x) of two numbers is 24 and their sum (+) is 10. What is the value of the largest of the two numbers?

RideAnS [48]

let the two numbers be x and y

From the first sentence,

xy=24

x+y=10

Then make y in equation 2 the subject of the formular and substitute in equation 1

x+y=10

y=10-x

substituting in equation 2

x(10-x)=24

open the bracket

10x-x^2=24

=-x^2+10x=24

Transfer the constant to the left hand side

=-x^2+10x-24=0

Then factorise completely
