Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
|-8|=8, and all the others are less. hope that helped
This is an arithmetic sequence because each term is 7 greater than the previous term, so 7 is what is called the common difference...
Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=first term, d=common difference, n=term number.
We know a=1 and d=7 so:
a(n)=1+7(n-1)
a(n)=1+7n-7
a(n)=7n-6
The above is the "rule" for the nth term.
Answer:
$8.50
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 0.50 by 11 to get 5.5 and then add the 3 dollars from the ice cream to get 8.5 - make sure to change 8.5 to $8.50
Answer: b. C = 5 × ($0.75 × 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that 4 quarts = 1 gallon
Therefore, if a cleaning product sells for $0.75 a quart, the equation can be used to solve for the total cost, C , of five gallons of the product will be:
= 5 × ($0.75 × 4)
= 5 × $3
= $15
Check the picture below.
based on the equation, if we set y = 0, we'd end up with 0 = 0.5(x-3)(x-k).
and that will give us two x-intercepts, at x = 3 and x = k.
since the triangle is made by the x-intercepts and y-intercepts, then the parabola most likely has another x-intercept on the negative side of the x-axis, as you see in the picture, so chances are "k" is a negative value.
now, notice the picture, those intercepts make a triangle with a base = 3 + k, and height = y, where "y" is on the negative side.
let's find the y-intercept by setting x = 0 now,
