Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

General Remark

Let's start with the long way.

Each day 1 traditional candle (shamash) is lit along with a number of candles representing that day of Chanukah. I'm taking it that a new Shamash candle must be used each day.

Total Candles = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 44

Givens

  • a = 2
  • L = 9
  • n = 8

Formula

Sum = (a + L)*n/2

Solution

  • Sum = (2 + 9)*8/2
  • Sum = (11)*4
  • Sum = 44

If this is wrong can you tell me what assumption I'm making that  is incorrect.

Find the slope of the curve r=cos(2theta) at theta=pi/6.. . Must this be solved parametrically? If so, why?
lara31 [8.8K]

By converting into parametric equations,

<span><span>x(θ)=r(θ)cosθ=cos2θ<span>cosθ
</span></span><span>y(θ)=r(θ)sinθ=cos2θsinθ</span></span>

By Product Rule,

<span>x'(θ)=−sin2θcosθ−cos2θsinθ</span>

<span>x'<span>(π/2)</span>=−<span>sin(π)</span><span>cos<span>(π/2)</span></span>−<span>cos(π)</span><span>sin<span>(π/2)</span></span>=1</span>

<span>y'(θ)=−sin2θsinθ+cos2θcosθ</span>

<span>y'<span>(π/2)</span>=−<span>sin(π)</span><span>sin<span>(π/2)</span></span>+<span>cos(π)</span><span>cos<span>(π/2)</span></span>=0</span>

So, the slope m of the curve can be found by

<span>m=<span>dy/dx</span><span>∣<span>θ=<span>π2
</span></span></span>= <span><span>y'<span>(π/2)/</span></span><span>x'<span>(π/2)
</span></span></span></span>=0/1

“Determine whether 3x+12+x is equivalent to 4(3+x). Use properties of operations to justify your answer” PLEASE HELP
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

It’s equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect like terms: 4x+12 = 4(3+x)

Expand brackets: 4x+12 = 12+4x

Rearrange: 4x+12 = 4x+12

If a sequence is defined recursively by (0)=3 and (n+1)=-f(n)+5 for n≥0, Then f(2) is equal to
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

f(2) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

f(0) = 3

and

f(n+1) = -f(n) + 5

We have to find the value of f(2). In order to find f(2) we first have to find f(1)

f(n + 1) = - f(n) + 5

Using n = 0, we get:

f(0 + 1) = - f(0) + 5

f(1) = -f(0) + 5                                                     Using the value of f(0), we get

f(1) = -3 + 5 = 2

Now using n = 1 in the function, we get:

f(1 + 1) = - f(1) + 5                                               Using the value of f(1), we get

f(2) = -2+ 5

f(2) = 3

Thus the value of f(2) will be 3
