ANSWER

C) 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45

EXPLANATION

The recursive formula is,

t_1=1,t_n=t_{n-1}+n

when n is a natural number greater than 1.

When n=2,

t_2=t_{2-1}+2

t_2=t_{1}+2 = 1 + 2 = 3

when n=3,

t_3=t_{2}+2 = 3 + 3= 6

when t=4,

t_4=t_{3}+2 = 6+ 4= 10

When t=5,

t_5=t_{4}+5 = 10 + 5 = 15

when t=6,.

t_6=t_{5}+6 = 15 + 6 = 21

when t=7

t_7=t_{6}+7 = 21 + 7 = 28

When t=8,

t_8=t_{7}+8 = 28 + 8 = 36

When t=9,

t_9=t_{8}+9 = 36 + 9 = 45

Hence the first nine triangular number are

C) 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45

Determine whether WX and YZ are perpendicular,or, neither W(-7,6),X(-6,9)Y(6,3),Z(3,-6)
Illusion [34]

Answer:  The lines WX and YZ are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to check whether the lines WX and YZ are parallel, perpendicular or neither if the co-ordinates of the endpoints of both the lines are

W(3,4), X(5,7), Y(8,2) and Z(6,-1).

We know that the slope of a straight line passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

m = d-b/c-a

So, the slope of the line WX is

m1 = 7-4/5-3 = 3/2

and the slope of line YZ is

m2 = -1-2/6-8 = -3/-2 = 3/2

Since , we get  m1 = m2, so the two lines WX and YZ are parallel.

Thus, the lines WX and YZ are parallel.

They are not perpendicular, so if you mistyped something and it was parallel that would be the answer, or the answer is neither the mysterious angle form or perpendicular. Hope this helps.

What is the answer to the recipe says she needs 480 grams of pasta for 4 people. how many kilograms will she need for 14?
CaHeK987 [17]
Use a proprtion to solve:\frac{480 grams}{4 people} =  \frac{x}{14 people}
Cross Multiply:                 480 · 14 = 4 · x
Divide both sides by 4: \frac{480 x 14}{4} = x
                                             1680 = x

Answer: she will need 1680 grams

The coefficient of determination of a set of data points is 0.93 and the slope of the regression line is -5.26. Determine the li
skad [1K]

Answer:

- 0.964

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Coefficient of determination (R^2) = 0.93

Slope of regression line = - 5.26

The linear correlation Coefficient =?

The Coefficient of determination (R^2) is used to obtain the proportion of explained variance of the regression line. It is the square of the linear correlation Coefficient (R).

Hence. To obtain the linear correlation Coefficient (R) from the Coefficient of determination (R^2); we take the square root of R^2

Therefore,

R = √R^2

R = √0.93

R = 0.9643650

R = 0.964

However, since the value of the slope is negative, this depicts a negative relationship between the variables, hence R will also be negative ;

Therefore, R = - 0.964
