I think it's 34.5 (I need more letters so I'm typing this)
Answer:
the answer is f(x) = n*(-2)
ratio is the wrong word to use, it is for contolled variation in probability. a sequence is controlled by what is known as a function - f(x) is the symbol for a function
Step-by-step explanation:
the following number of the previous one in the sequence is derived by the function f(x)=n*(-2)
2 x -2 = -4 (positive x negative = negative)
-4 × -2 = 8 (negative x negative = positive)
8 x -2 = -16 (positive x negative = negative)
so in the sequence, the trend of -,+ double will go on
Answer:
2kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sum of the other 2 bricks be R. Given that the heaviest brick weighs 2/3 times as much as the other 2 bricks in total, then the weight of the heaviest brick H in terms of the weight of the other 2 will be
H = 2/3 * R
= 2R/3
Given that the 3 bricks weigh 5kg in total then,
2R/3 + R = 5
Multiply through the equation by 3
2R + 3R = 15
5R = 15
Divide both sides by 5
R = 15/5
= 3
The weight of the heaviest brick is 2R/3. Since R = 3, the heaviest block weighs
= 2 * 3/3
= 2kg
Answer: 7 and 8
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the first number, then x + 1 is the other number.
(x)² + (x + 1)² = 113
x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 113 <em>expanded (x + 1)²</em>
2x² + 2x + 1 = 113 <em>added like terms</em>
2x² + 2x - 112 = 0 <em>subtracted 113 from both sides</em>
x² + x - 56 = 0 <em> divided both sides by 2</em>
(x + 8) (x - 7) = 0 <em>factored polynomial</em>
x + 8 = 0 x - 7 = 0 <em>applied zero product property</em>
x = -8 x = 7 <em> solved for x</em>
↓
not valid since the restriction is that x > 0 <em>(a positive number)</em>
So, x = 7 and x + 1 = (7) + 1 = 8
