Answer:

<h2> 934boxes</h2><h2> 4 trips</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of books 42,000

Ok, firstly let us calculate the number of boxes required, given that a box can contain 45 books

number of boxes= 42,000/45  

number of boxes=933.3 boxes

approximately 934boxes

Also, given that the truck can carry online 250 boxes in one trip

then it must make 934/250= 3.7 trips

approximately the truck will make 4 trips to carry all the boxes

Determine the arithmetic sequence if the fourth term is negative six and the eleventh term is negative thirty four
ICE Princess25 [194]
An arithmetic sequence takes the form

a_n=a_{n-1}+d

where d is the common difference between terms. You can solve for a_n in terms of any of the previous terms of the sequence:

a_n=a_{n-1}+d\implies~a_n=a_{n-2}+2d\implies~a_n=a_{n-3}+3d\implies\cdots\implies~a_n=a_{n-k}+kd

for some integer 1\le k\le n-1

Continuing in this way, you know that the sequence can be defined explicitly in terms of the first term a_1

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Given that the 4th term is a_4=-6 and the 11th term is a_{11}=-34, you have the following system of equations.

\begin{cases}-6=a_1+(4-1)d\\-34=a_1+(11-1)d\end{cases}

Solving this system for the two unknowns yields a_1=6 and d=-4.

So, the sequence is given explicitly by

a_n=6+(n-1)(-4)=-4n+5

The system with one and only one solution set is called a/an system
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Consistent and Independent System

Step-by-step explanation:

A system with at least one solution is a consistent system.  A consistent system is said to be independent if it has <u>exactly one solution</u> (often referred to as the <em>unique</em> solution).  The graphs intersect at exactly one point, which gives an ordered-pair (x, y) as the solution of the system.

The sum of three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence is 27, and the sum of their squares is 293. What is the absolute di
Ber [7]

The absolute difference between the greatest and the least of these three numbers in the arithmetic sequence is 10.

The sequence is an arithmetic sequence. Therefore,

d = common difference

let

a = centre term

Therefore, the 3 consecutive term will be as follows

a - d,  a, a + d

a - d +  a + a + d = 27

3a = 27

a = 27 / 3

a = 9

Therefore,

(a-d)² + (a)² + (a + d)² = 293

(a²-2ad+d²) + 9² + (a² + 2ad + d²) = 293

(81 - 18d + d²) + 81 + (81 + 18d + d²) = 293

243 + 2d² = 293

2d² = 50

d² = 50 / 2

d = √25

d = 5

common difference = 5

Therefore, the 3 numbers are as follows

9 - 5 , 9, 9 + 5 = 4, 9, 14

The difference between the greatest and the least of these 3 numbers are as follows:

14 - 4 = 10
