Any number times 0 is going to equal 0
Answer: Therefore it must be the first one, 40
Step-by-step explanation: Vertical angles are always congruent, which means that they are equal. x = 40
First we need to get x
<RNA = <ENV [v.o.a]
8x+12=5x+57
8x-5x=57-12
3x=45
x=15
<ENV= (5×15+57)
<ENV =132
the answer is D
Might have to experiment a bit to choose the right answer.
In A, the first term is 456 and the common difference is 10. Each time we have a new term, the next one is the same except that 10 is added.
Suppose n were 1000. Then we'd have 456 + (1000)(10) = 10456
In B, the first term is 5 and the common ratio is 3. From 5 we get 15 by mult. 5 by 3. Similarly, from 135 we get 405 by mult. 135 by 3. This is a geom. series with first term 5 and common ratio 3. a_n = a_0*(3)^(n-1).
So if n were to reach 1000, the 1000th term would be 5*3^999, which is a very large number, certainly more than the 10456 you'd reach in A, above.
Can you now examine C and D in the same manner, and then choose the greatest final value? Safe to continue using n = 1000.
