RSB [31]3 years ago

Answer:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between any consecutive terms should be always the same, then we have:

(y + 3) - (y + 2) = D

(2*y^2 + 1) - (y + 3) = D.

From the first equation, we can find the value of D:

y + 3 - y - 2 = D

1 = D.

Replacing this in the second equation, we have:

(2*y^2 + 1) - (y + 3) = 1

Now we can solve this equation:

2*y^2 + 1 - y - 3 - 1 = 0

2*y^2 - y - 3 = 0.

The solutions of this quadratic equation can be found with the Bhaskara's equation:

y = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{1^2 - 4*2*(-3)} }{2*2}  = \frac{1+-\sqrt{25} }{4}  = \frac{1+-5}{4}

Then the possible values of y are:

y = (1 + 5)/4 = 6/4

y = (1 - 5)/4 = -1

the weight M of an object on Mars varies directly as it’s weight E on Earth. A person who weighs 95 lb on Earth weighs 38 lb on
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

A 100 lb person will weight 40 lb on Mars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight on Mars directly varies as its weight on earth.

Let weight on Mars be = M

Let weight on Earth be = E

Its known that:

M ∝ E

Thus

M=kE

where k is constant of proportionality.

when  E=95\ lb, then M=38\ lb

thus, we have

38=k(95)

dividing both sides by 95.

\frac{38}{95}=\frac{k(95)}{95}

∴ k=\frac{38}{95}

Thus when E= 100, M would be calculated as

M=\frac{38}{95}\times 100

M=\frac{3800}{95}

∴ M=40\ lb  (Answer)

∴ A 100 lb person will weight 40 lb on Mars.

Simplify: −3 • −26<br><br> A. −78<br> B. −68<br> C. 68<br> D. 78
hammer [34]
-3 x -26 = 78

meaning the answer is D.

The reason the answer is D, is because two negatives when multiplied or divided become positive. Only when multiplied or divided does this occur.

Abdul, while driving to school, computes the average speed for his trip to be 20 km/hr. On his return trip along the same route,
gulaghasi [49]
You need to find the total distance and the total time. The total distance is two times the distance to school, 2d.s=d/t=>t=d/sWhere s is speed, d is distance and t is time. So the time taken to get to school is:d/s1and the time taken to get back is:d/s2so the total time is:d/s1+d/s2=d(1/s1+1/s2)So, as speed = distance/time, divide the total distance by the total time:2d/d(1/s1+1/s2)=2/(1/s1+1/s2)=2/(1/20+1/40)=80/3≈26.7km/hr
