Answer:
x = 12
(getting to the 20 character limit, please ignore this)
a.
In order to find the common ratio, we just need to divide a term by the term that comes before it.
So using the terms 20 and -5, we have:
b.
The recursive rule can be found with the formula:
Where an is the nth term and q is the ratio. So we have:
c.
The explicit rule can be written as:
Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term and q is the ratio. So:
If we divide the area we have to cover by the area of a piece, we will get the number of pieces needed:
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
if ABC ~ DEF than AB ~ ED, AC ~ DF, and CB ~ FE
The ratio of AB to ED is given as 5/30 = 1/6
For AC ~ ED the ratio would be same x/42 = 1/6 cross multiply it
6x = 42
x = 7
Answer:
136+ m ≥ 189 is the required inequality : m: The earning in 4th week
Arthur needs to earn AT LEAST $53 in the fourth week to buy the coat which costs at least $189.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount earned by Arthur in first 3 weeks = $136
The amount needed to buy a coat = AT LEAST $189
Let us assume the amount Arthur needs to earn more to buy coat = $m
⇒ $ 136 + Amount Earned in 4th week ≥ $189
⇒ 136+ m ≥ 189
The above equation is the NEEDED inequality of the given situation.
Now, solving for the value of m, we get:
136+ m ≥ 189
⇒ m ≥ 189 - 136 = 53
or, m ≥ $53
Hence, Arthur needs to earn AT LEAST $53 in the fourth week to buy the coat which costs at least 189.
