How many terms of the arithmetic sequence 88, 85, 82, . . . appear before the number -17 appears?

1 answer:

7 0

Every time you subtract 3 to get the next number. 88-3=85, -3=82, ... So, how many times do you need to subtract 3 from 88 to get to -17? That question can be answered by solving the expression (88-(-17))/3. The answer is 35. So, 35 terms appear before -17

One brother says of his younger brother: “Two years ago, I was three times as old as my brother was. In three years’ time, I wil

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years

Then, my age was 3x

Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years

And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years

But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.

So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)

or, x= 5 years

So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years

And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years

If fx()=8-10x and g(x)=5x+4, what is the value of (fg)(-2)

lyudmila [28]

So, we are looking for F of G of 2. So, we need to work backwards and find G(x) first.

$g(-2)=5(-2)+4\\g(-2)=-6$

So we know that g(-2) = -6, now we take thatt -6 and plug in into f(x)

$f(g(-2))=f(-6)\\f(-6)=8-10(-6)\\f(-6)=8+60\\f(-6)=68$

68 is the answer
