Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.
Hope this helps!
1/4 times 4 is 1 hour so
3 1/6 times 4 is 12 2/3
If u add them all up and multiple by two in total he walks 43 blocks
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
PQ/QR = ST/TR
17.5/QR = 7/4
QR = (17.5 x 4)/7
QR = 70/7
QR = 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
Sn = (a + a + (n - 1)*d) * n / 2
Givens
Sn = 60
a = 3
Solution
You want integer values for d and n
60 = (2*a + (n - 1)*d) * n/2 Multiply both sides by 2
120 = (2*3 + (n - 1)*d ) * n
120 = (6 + n*d - d) * n
120 = 6n + n^2*d - d*n
This gives some really wild results. I will list all of them here. and then discuss them.
These are the ones that give results without any question and are correct.
n d tn
2 54 3 57
3 17 3 20 37
4 8 3 11 19 27
Here are some that are the gift of the equation
20 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
Now the equation says the following 3 are correct, but are they? Can you have a negative n? The equation says yes, but I doubt your instructor will.
-5 5
-1 63
-2 22
You can bring these up if you are in a classroom. I wouldn't if you have to submit this to a computer which has absolutely no ability whatever to think about exceptions. Even the 20 0 is one I wouldn't use.
