Answer:

Option B. f(n) = 10 + (n-1)(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know the correct answer, you need to put some values of n into the equation given.

Let's begin with a value of n = 1. Now, let's discard some options.

If n = 1, means that the bracket (n-1) always become zero (cause 1-1 = 0), this means that no matter what number you multiply or divide, the result will always be zero.

Option C and D can be easily discarted because when you put n = 1, you get the following:

-10 + (1-1)(3) = -10 + (0)(3) = -10 + 0 = -10.

In option D, would be the same, only that instead of using 3, you'll use -3 but -3 * 0 = 0. The final result is -10, and the sequence begins in 10 positive. That's why Option C and D cannot be the correct option.

We have now option A and B, the difference is on the signus of the 3 (option A is negative and option B is positive). Again, let's use logic, both options, when n = 1, will give the same result, 10. However if we use another number different than 1, ex 2, the result would be different in both options:

n = 2.

a) f(2) = 10 + (2-1)(-3) = 10 + (1)(-3) = 10 - 3 = 7.

As you can see in option A, the next number is decreased, it's not 13.

Therefore, the only and correct option would be the b, and here's the proof:

f(1) = 10 + (1-1)(3) = 10 + 0 = 10

f(2) = 10 + (2-1)(3) = 10 + 3 = 13

f(3) = 10 + (3-1)(3) = 10 + 6 = 16

f(4) = 10 + (4-1)(3) = 10 + 9 = 19

A circular rug has a circumference of 314 inches. What is the approximate area? Round to the nearest whole inch. Use 3.14 for pi
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The area is 7850 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the circumference, we want to calculate the area

mathematically, the circumference is;

C = 2 pi r

So r is C/2 pi

Area = pi * r^2

Substitute value for r from circumference;

Area = Pi * c^2/4pi^2

Area = C^2/4pi

Area = 314^2/4 * 3.14

Area = 7850 Inches square

Use complete sentences to describe the possible solution(s) to a system of equations that includes the equation of a circle and
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

A general  line can be represented as , y= m x + c

And general equation of circle is , ax²+by²+2 g x +2 f y +c=0

Now there are following possibilities

1. A line and circle have no common point of intersection, that is no solution.

2. A line may be a tangent to a circle, that is one common point, one solution.

3. A line may intersect a circle maximum at two points, that is 2 solution.

Image is depicted below.
