In
order to solve for a nth term in an arithmetic sequence, we use the formula
written as:<span>
an = a1 + (n-1)d
where an is the nth term, a1 is the first value
in the sequence, n is the term position and d is the common difference.
First, we need to calculate for d from the given
values above.
<span>a3 = 20.5 and a8 = 13
</span>
an = a1 + (n-1)d
20.5 = a1 + (3-1)d
</span>an = a1 + (n-1)d
13 = a1 + (8-1)d
<span>
a1 = 23.5
d = -1.5
The 11th term is calculated as follows:
a11 = a1 + (n-1)d
a11= 23.5 + (11-1)(-1.5)
a11 =
8.5</span>
Answer: 55 miles
Step-by-step explanation: Marcus goal is 80 miles for the week. he has already completed 25 miles of that goal so you would subtract 25 from 80 then you would find the miles still left
80-25=55
Answer:
The answer to the question is
1.5 hours that is;
When the distance between them is more then 135 miles is after 1.5 hours and they will lose radio contact at 3:30 p.m.
Step-by-step explanation:
We note that
The speed of the military convoy headed north =50 mph
The speed of the convoy headed south = 40 mph
Let t be the time taken for the two convoys to be 135 miles apart
The time taken for the two convoys to be 135 miles apart is given by
50×t miles+ 40×t miles= 135 miles
That is 90×t miles = 135 miles
t = 135/90 = 1.5 hrs
Answer:
18

Step-by-step explanation:
3^3 + 11 - 10 / 2 x 4 = w
27 + 11 - 10 / 2 x 4 = w
27 + 11 - 5 x 4 = w
27 + 11 - 20 = w
38 - 20 = w
w = 18
Answer:
y =3x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Well one of the way to do this question is the formula given below your question, but for me, i rather do it this way
OK they gave u y=3x - 12
And they say another line is parallel, once u see the word parallel means they have the same angle, same slope, same gradient ( sorry if I give u the wrong terms, since I learn mine in Malay)
So first u got to understand the slope-intercept form
y = mx + c
y is your y coordinate
x is your x coordinate
m is your gradient ( as in how much the line slants)
c is the y - intercept, as in, if u draw a graph, the y-coordinate where your line touches the y-axis (the vertical line)
So since the say the both lines are parallel, so both of their "m" is the same that is 3. Why? Cuz just compare
y = mx + c
y = 3x - 12
Therefore the m is 3
Therefore u alredy got your first value, so put it in your slope intercept form
y = mx + c
y = 3x + c
Now how to find c? Very easy, just put in the value of y and x from the coordinate ( that the line youre finding is on) they gave u, just put the value in
They gave u
(1, - 2)
So when x = 1, y = - 2
Therefore put it in
y = 3x + c
-2 = 3 (1) + c
c = - 5
Since now u have your m and c value, your slope intercept form is done, just put it in
y = mx + c
y = 3x + (-5)
y = 3x -5
