Answer:

260 seashells

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 50 seashells on the beach and after one week there are 120 seashells on the beach and this same pattern continues, then the number of sea shells form weekly will form an arithmetic progression.

The sequence formed will be;

50,120...

To find the number of seashells that we will have in the 4th week is equivalent to finding the 4th term of the sequence.

The formula for calculating the nth term of a sequence is as given below;

Tn = a+(n-1)d where;

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference.

According to the sequence;

a = 50,

d = 120-50 = 70

n = 4 (since we are looking for the 4th term)

Substituting this values in the given formula we have;

T4 = 50+(4-1)70

T4 = 50+3(70)

T4 = 50+210

T4 = 260

This means that there will be 260seashells on the 4th week if the same pattern continues.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial amount, a = 50 seashells

Amount at 1st week, a1 = 120 seashells

Using arithmetic sequence,

an = ao + (n - 1)d

Where,

an = amount of seashells at n weeks

ao = initial amount of seashells

n = number of weeks

d = common difference (constant)

Finding d,

d = an+1 - an

= a1 - ao

d = 120 - 50

= 70

At week 4,

a4 = ao + 3d

= 120 + (3 × 70)

= 50 + 210

= 260 seashells

What are the cons of graphing, elimination, and substitution?
rosijanka [135]

GRAPHING CONS

1) hard to graph by hand. Often you need a graphics calculator or a computer software like maple or matlab. Or the graph has to be given.

2) hard to tell the exact solution, just by observing point of intersection. for example if x = 2.8675, the viewer would say x= 3.

3) sometimes not easy to decide the axis window of y and x axis. For example if the solution is very large like x = 100000 and your graph ends at x = 100, you cannot see the solution

SUBSTITUTION CONS

1) Becomes tedious if a system has too many equations or variables

ELIMINATION PROS/CONS

1) basically same as substitution

What is the length of MN
Lina20 [59]

The Pythagorean theorem is: a²+b²=c², and "c" will always be the hypotenuse or the longest side of the triangle.

In order to find MN you can make a triangle, and then you can find the lengths of the other sides(a and b).

You should get a = 4 and b = 6. Next you plug these numbers into the equation.

(4)² + (6)² = c²

16 + 36 = c²

52 = c²

√52 = c

<span>y - 2418.6 = 5.9(x - 54)
y - 2418.6 = 5.9x - 318.6
y = 5.9x + 2100 
f(x) = 5.9x + 2100 (this is our function)
.
Now we can answer:
What is the weight of the plane with 26 gallons of fuel in its tank? 
f(26) = 5.9(26) + 2100 = 2253.4 pounds
