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

Identify the name and label the parts of the following polynomial: − 2x^4+24^2-10
lianna [129]
-2x^4 + 24x^2 - 10

u have 3 terms.....and since u are only dealing with 1 variable with the highest exponent being 4, then what u have here is a 4th degree trinomial.
U have a lead coefficient of -2.
Ur constant term is -10
And ur middle term (24x^2) has a degree of 2

a cubic binomial.....a binomial has 2 terms and it being cubic means the highest term has a degree of 3
example would be : x^3 - 4

how many constants can a polynomial have ? I am not sure about this one...I wanna say 1 because u can simplify it if it has more then 1...but I am not 100% sure on this one

3x^2 + 6xy -10x^5 + y^6 - 10x^3y^5

when u have a polynomial with more then 1 variable, such as this one, the degree is not the highest exponent, it is the highest term.....-10x^3y^5...u add the exponents....so this term has a degree of 8, and it is the highest one in this problem....so this is an 8th degree polynomial with 5 terms

The table gives the average age of airplanes per airline at Camila’s local airport. By what percent is the number of airlines wi
VladimirAG [237]

The percentage that the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 14 is less than the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 11 is:

B. 20%.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 14 years is:

P = \frac{2}{15} \times 100\% = 13.33\%

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 11 years is:

P = \frac{5}{15} \times 100\% = 33.33\%

The difference is:

33.33% - 13.33% = 20%.

Hence option B is correct.
