Answer:

-1059

Step-by-step explanation:

Katelyn, this is super easy to understand.

Anyways, to find the 96th term of the sequence, first subtract -14 and -3. You may be thinking it is -17, but it is not. -17 is only if you are subtracting -14 and 3.

(-14) - (-3) = -14 + 3 = -11.

That means the difference between each number is -11.

Now all you have to do is take the -11 and multiply it by 96, which is -1056. Then, add the -1056 to -3, which is -1059. That should be your answer.

Your school may have taught you a different way, but this is my way.

Answer:

$x=\frac{\sqrt{14} }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that you are given an isosceles right-angle triangle to solve, since each of its two acute angles measures $45^o$ . Then such means that the sides opposite to these acute angles (the so called "legs" of this right angle triangle) must also be of the same length (x).

We can then use the Pythagorean theorem that relates the square of the hypotenuse to the addition of the squares of the triangles legs:

$(\sqrt{7})^2=x^2+x^2\\7=2\,x^2\\x^2=\frac{7}{2} \\x=+/-\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}} \\x=+/-\frac{\sqrt{14} }{2}$

We use just the positive root, since we are looking for an actual length. then, the requested side is:

$x=\frac{\sqrt{14} }{2}$

The length of each edge of a cube is decreased by 40 percent By what percent does the volume of the cube decrease? Express your

lora16 [44]

Answer:

78% (to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cube = (length )³

Let the length of the cube = y

Original volume = y³

if the length is decreased by 40%, then new length = 1- (40% of y)

= 1-0.4y

= 0.6%

New volume (after decreasing the length) = (0.6y)³

= 0.216‬‬y³

% Volume decrease = (Original volume - New volume)/Original Volume x 100%

= (y³ - 0.216‬‬y³)/ y³ x 100%

= 0.784y³/y³ x 100%

=78.4%

≈78%

If (x – 4) + 6 = 2 - (4 - 2x), then x = A. -4 B. -2 C. 2 D. 4

blondinia [14]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove the parentheses and turn the 4-2x and make it into 4+2x candle the equal term -4 and should be left with x+6=2+2x then move the variable to the left and change the sign so it would be x-2x=2-6 and collect like terms so it would be -x=2-6 and then calculate that and get -x= -4
