The first is x
the 2nd is 3 times the first or 3x
the third is 2 times long as the 2nd piece or 2(3x) or 6x


total length=1st piece+2nd piece+3rd piece
48.5=x+3x+6x
48.5=10x
divide by 10
4.85=x
3x=14.55
6x=29.1


the 3 pieces are 4.85cm, 14.55cm and 29.1cm

How do I find the formula for the nth term in a sequence? Like for example the sequence:4,9,14,19 what is the next term?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

   a = first term = 4

   d = common difference =  second term - first term

       = 9 - 4

   d  = 5

\sf t_n =a +(n -1)*d

   = 4 + (n - 1) *5

   = 4 + 5n - 5

    = 5n -1

Check; n= 1 ,  first term = 5*1 - 1 = 5 - 1 = 4

           n = 2,  second term = 5*2 - 1 = 10 -1 = 9

           n = 3, third term = 5*3 - 1 = 15 - 1 = 1

The next term, fifth term  = 5*5 - 1

                                          = 25 - 1

                                          = 24

Julia used absolute value to find the distance between 0 and 6 on a number line. She then wrote a similar statement to represent
Schach [20]

Answer:

Absolute value function.    

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The absolute value of a number helps us to calculate the distance between a number and zero, provided the direction does not play an important role.
  • The absolute value of a number can never be negative since it is the value of distance.
  • The absolute value function is defined as:

\mid a \mid = a, a > 0\\~~~~~ = -a, a < 0

So, it is correct to write the statement that distance between 0 and 6 is equal to distance between 0 and -6.

\mid 6 \mid = 6\\\mid -6 \mid = -(-6) = 6
