Answer:

-5,-8,-11,-14,-17

Step-by-step explanation:

-3n -2

n=1 -3(1) -2 = -3-2 = -5

n=2 -3(2) -2 = -6-2 = -8

n=3 -3(3) -2 = -9-2 = -11

n=4 -3(4) -2 = -12-2 = -14

n=5 -3(5) -2 = -15-2 = -17

We can substitute n with each term in order.

First Term:

-3(1) - 2

-3 - 2

-5

Second Term:

-3(2) - 2

-6 - 2

-8

Third Term:

-3(3) - 2

-9 - 2

-11

Fourth Term:

-3(4) - 2

-12 - 2

-14

Fifth Term:

-3(5) - 2

-15 - 2

-17

Therefore, the sequence is -5, -8, -11, - 14, -17

Best of Luck!

Solve the equation: sin(2x)= sin x

Anna [14]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(2x) = 2 ×cos(x)× sin(x)

● sin(x) = 2 × cos(x) × sin(x)

● 2 × cos(x) = 1

● cos (x) = 1/2

So we can deduce that:

● x = Pi/3 + 2*k*Pi

● or x = -Pi/3 + 2*k*Pi

K is an integer

Joe earns $14 an hour and Blaine earns $18 per hour. Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months, and Blaine receives a raise

Katarina [22]

After 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine

Solution:

Given that,

Amount earned by Joe = $ 14 per hour

Amount earned by Blaine = $ 18 per hour

Lets assume the number of six month intervals be "x"

Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months

Therefore,

Joe earning: 14 + 1.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Joe earning: 14 + 1.75x ------- eqn 1

Blaine receives a raise of $0.75 every six months

Therefore,

Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75x ------------ eqn 2

The number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine,

Eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

$14+1.75x = 18+0.75x\\\\1.75x-0.75x = 18-14\\\\1x = 4\\\\x = 4$

Thus after 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine.
