For the given expression, which whole number (w) will make the expression true? 5/6

Sonja [21]

Answer:

D. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is a possible complete question

For the given expression, which whole number (w) will make the expression true? 5/6 < w/6

A. 3

B. 4

C. 5

D. 7

Given the inequality expression:

5/6 < w/6

Cross multiply

5×6 < 6×w

30<6w

Divide both sides by 6

30/6 = 6w/6

5<w

Reciprocate both sides(this will change the sense of the inequality)

1/5>1/w

Cross multiply

w > 5×1

w>5

This shows that the value of w is a value greater than 5 but not 5. According to the option, the only value greater than 5 is 7. Hence the whole number (w) that will make the expression true is 7

Please help me with this question?

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each longitude has a time difference of 4 minutes.

Convert 4 hours into minutes

4 hours * (60 minutes/1 hour) = 240 minutes

Divide 240 minutes by 4 to obtain the difference in longitude

240/4 = 60

The formula s=12at ^2 is used to calculate the distance s travelled by a bike when a=3 and t=10, each correct to the nearest int

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula for calculating the distance travelled expressed as;

s=1/2at^2

Given

a = 3

t = 10

Required

lower bound of s

Substitute the given values into the equation;

s=1/2at^2

S = 1/2(3)(10)^2

S = 1/2 * 3 * 100

S = 3 * 50

S = 150

Hence the lower bound of distance S is 150

- Write a recursive formula to represent the sequence below. (3,7, 11, 15, 19,23,27,31,35, ...)

NemiM [27]

The recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:

$a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1$ and n = 1, 2, 3, ....

Solution:

Given a sequence is:

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35

Let us find the difference between terms

7 - 3 = 4

11 - 7 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

19 - 15 = 4

23 - 19 = 4

27 - 23 = 4

31 - 27 = 4

35 - 31 = 4

Thus the difference between terms is constant

Thus the given sequence is arithmetic sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant

The nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n =a_1+(n-1)d$

$a_n$ = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

$a_1$ = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

Here in the given sequence

d = 4

$a_1=3$

Substitute in above formula,

$a_n = 3 + (n-1)(4)\\\\a_n = 3 + 4n - 4\\\\a_n = 4n - 1$

Thus the recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:

$a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1$ and n = 1, 2, 3, ......
