Answer: The tenth term is 76
=======================================================
Explanation:
We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term
Plug in 
and you should get the following:
The tenth term is <u>76</u>
---------
We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.
---------
In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in which shifts everything one spot to the left.
Answer:
10 and 16, x+(x+6)=26
Step-by-step explanation:
Michelle has an age we don't know, so we put her age as x.
Yogi is 6 years older than her, so her age is x+6
Michelle=x
Yogi=x+6
we know both their ages equal 26. so we set it up as
x+(x+6)=26
combining like terms we get
2x+6=26
subtract 6 from both sides
2x=20
divide both sides by 2
x=10
now that we have the value for x, we plug it into their original ages
Michelle is 10, because her age is just x.
Yogi is 16, because her age is x+6
Answer:
x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 4(3x - 7) = 40 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
3x - 7 = - 10 ( add 7 to both sides )
3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = - 1
It seems like the details of what p and q <em>are </em>in this context aren't all that important; it's the logical structure of the statement "p⇒q" we need to look at. We read that logical statement as "p implies q," where p is our <em>hypothesis</em> and q is our <em>conclusion</em>. When we take the converse of a logical statement, we reverse the hypothesis and the conclusion. In this case, <em>p </em>wouldn't imply <em>q</em>, but <em>q </em>would imply <em>p</em> in the converse of p⇒q. We'd write this statement as:
q⇒p
Answer:
b = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c = 10
a = 6
b = ?
Substitute into the formula
10^2 = 6^2 + b^2
100 = 36 + b^2 Subtract 36 from both sides
100 - 36 = b^2 Combine
64 = b^2 Take the square root of both sides.
√64 = √b^2
b = 8
