Answer: The correct opion is

(C) 16.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the values in the following table represent a linear function.

x: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

y: 6, 22, 38, 54, 70.

We are to find the common difference of the associated arithmetic sequence.

If y = f(x) is the given function, then we see that

f(1) = 6, f(2) = 22, f(3) = 38, f(4) = 54 and f(5) = 70.

So, the common difference of the associated arithmetic sequence is given by

$f(2)-f(1)=22-6=16,\\\\f(3)-f(2)=38-22=16,\\\\f(4)-f(3)=54-38=16,\\\\f(5)-f(4)=70-54=16,~~~\cdots.$

Thus, the required common difference of the associated arithmetic sequence is 16.

Option (C) is CORRECT.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since p(x) = x² + 2 , if x ≤ 4

For x = 4 then this is included in the inequality x ≤ 4

whereas x > 4 does not include x = 4 but values greater than 4

Thus to evaluate x = 4 use p(x) = x² + 2

What are the possible rational roots of the polynomial equation?<br><br> 0=2x7+3x5−9x2+6

RoseWind [281]

Answer: $\pm\frac{1}{1}, \pm\frac{1}{2},\pm\frac{2}{1},\pm\frac{3}{1}, \pm\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Rational Root Test.

Given a polynomial in the form:

$a_nx^n +a_{n- 1}x^{n - 1} + … + a_1x^1 + a_0 = 0$

Where:

- The coefficients are integers.

- $a_n$ is the leading coeffcient ( $a_n\neq 0$ )

- $a_0$ is the constant term $a_0\neq 0$

Every rational root of the polynomial is in the form:

$\frac{p}{q}=\frac{\pm(factors\ of\ a_0)}{\pm(factors\ of\ a_n)}$

For the case of the given polynomial:

$2x^7+3x^5-9x^2+6=0$

We can observe that:

- Its constant term is 6, with factors 1, 2 and 3.

- Its leading coefficient is 2, with factors 1 and 2.

Then, by Rational Roots Test we get the possible rational roots of this polynomial:

$\frac{p}{q}=\frac{\pm(1,2,3,6)}{\pm(1,2)}=\pm\frac{1}{1}, \pm\frac{1}{2},\pm\frac{2}{1},\pm\frac{3}{1}, \pm\frac{3}{2}$

URGENT!! LAW OF SINES WORK

Lynna [10]

Answer:

1. 7.1 cm

2. 10.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know the legs of a right triangle must be shorter than the hypotenuse. The only answer choice shorter than 8 cm is 7.1 cm.

2. By the Law of Sines, ...

AB/AC = sin(ACB)/sin(B)

AB = AC·sin(72°)/sin(38°) = 1.545·AC

The approximate value of AC from problem 1 is sufficient to get you close to the answer.

AB ≈ 7.1×1.545 ≈ 10.9 . . . cm

What is the GCF for each set of numbers 12 and 20

Likurg_2 [28]

4 is the GCF.

Explanation:
4x3=12
4x5=20
5 Isn’t a factor of 12, and 6 isn’t a factor of 20. Each number above doesn’t work, so the greatest common factor of the numbers 12 and 20 must be 4.
