Answer:
The common difference (or common ratio) = 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
i) let the first term be 
= 80
ii) let the second term be 
= . r = 80 × r = 60 ∴ r = 
= 0.75
iii) let the third term be 
= . r = 60 × r = 45 ∴ r = 
= 0.75
iv) let the fourth term be 
= . r = 45 × r = 33.75 ∴ r = 
= 0.75
Therefore we can see that the series of numbers are part of a geometric progression and the first term is 80 and the common ratio = 0.75.
Answer:
4a. 13
4b. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-6/5 = 4 (Muti each side by 5)
2x-6 = 20
2x = 26 (Divide each side by 2)
x = 13
7- 2x/4 = 9
-2x/4 = 2 (Muti each side by 4)
-2x = 8 (Divide each side by -2)
x = -4
Answer:
6 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
set up an equation and solve for x
(x+3) * x = 54
easiest way to to try some numbers.
if you know your multiplication tables...
what two number multiplied together are 54
be sure the numbers you are thinking of meet the rules
is one 3 more than the other
do they multiply together to get 54
Answer: 72 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line connecting two points (<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>) and (<em>c</em>, <em>d</em>) is
(<em>d</em> - <em>b</em>) / (<em>c</em> - <em>a</em>)
i.e. the change in the <em>y</em>-coordinate divided by the change in the <em>x</em>-coordinate. For a function <em>y</em> = <em>f(x)</em>, this slope is the slope of the secant line connecting the two points (<em>a</em>, <em>f(a)</em> ) and (<em>c</em>, <em>f(c)</em> ), and has a value of
(<em>f(c)</em> - <em>f(a)</em> ) / (<em>c</em> - <em>a</em>)
Here, we have
<em>f(x)</em> = <em>x</em> ²
so that
<em>f</em> (1) = 1² = 1
<em>f</em> (1.01) = 1.01² = 1.0201
Then the slope of the secant line is
(1.0201 - 1) / (1.01 - 1) = 0.0201 / 0.01 = 2.01
