Answer:

Tn = 6.4 + 1.8n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sequence: 8.2, 10, 11.8, 13.6

Required

The formula of the sequence.

First, the type of the sequence needs to be determined (arithmetic or geometric)

It is an arithmetic sequence because each successive sequence is separated by a common difference..

The common difference is represented by d and it's calculated as follows.

d = 10 - 8.2 or 11.8 - 10 or 13.6 - 11.8

Each of the above gives

d = 1.8

Now, that we have the common difference; the next is to determine the formula using the Arithmetic Progression formula.

Tn = T1 + (n - 1)d

Where T1 is the first term of the progression; T1 = 8.2

By substituting 8.2 for T1 and 1.8 for d.

This gives

Tn = 8.2 + (n - 1) * 1.8

Open bracket

Tn = 8.2 + 1.8 * n - 1 * 1.8

Tn = 8.2 + 1.8n - 1.8

Collect like terms

Tn = 8.2 - 1.8 + 1.8n

Tn = 6.4 + 1.8n

Hence, the formula of the sequence is Tn = 6.4 + 1.8n

Bumek [7]

Answer:

a) yes, as the number of seats (2352) is larger than the total audience (1912)

b) 440 empty seats

Step-by-step explanation:

a) total number of seats = number of rows x number of seats in each row

total number of seats = 49 x 48

total number of seats = 2352 seats

total audience = 1854 students + 58 teachers

total audience = 1912 people

b) empty seats = total number of seats - total audience

empty seats = 2352 - 1912

empty seats = 440

Which graph represents viable values for y = 5.5x, where x is the number of cans of tomato paste and y is the total weight of th
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, x-axis is numbered negative 5 to positive 5 in increments of 1, and the y-axis is numbered negative 27.5 to 27.5 in increments of 5.5. Solid circles appear at points (0, 0), (1, 5.5), (2, 11), (3, 16.5), (4, 22), (5, 27.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first graph is not correct because you cannot sell or buy, for example 1.1, cans of tomato.

The second graph is correct because x is discrete variable, that is, it only take values like 1, 2, 3, etc.

The third and fourth graphs are not correct because you cannot sell or buy negative cans of tomatoes.
