Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In an AP  the difference between consecutive terms is common (equal), thus

t₂ - t₁ = t₃ - t₂ , that is

2a + 1 - (a + 1) = 4a - 1 - (2a + 1) ← distribute and simplify both sides

2a + 1 - a - 1 = 4a - 1 - 2a - 1

a = 2a - 2 ( subtract 2a from both sides )

- a = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 2

Juana compró una camioneta 4x4 a S/ 42 000; además, sabe que la camioneta se depreciará (bajará su precio) en forma lineal duran
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Una relación lineal es de la forma:

y = a*x + b.

donde a es la pendiente y b es la ordenada al origen.

en este caso, y es el precio de la camioneta, x es el numero de años que pasaron, a es la razon de depreciación de la camioneta y b es el precio inicial de la camioneta, b = $42,000.

Sabemos que después de 5 años, el precio de la camioneta es 21,000, entonces podemos resolver:

$21,000 = a*5 + $42,000

a*5 = $21,000 - $42,000 = -$21,000

a = -$21,000/5 = -$4,200

Esto significa que el precio decae $4,200 por año

The pet doctor weighs Marc's dog every year. Last year, the dog lost 3.73 pounds from the previous year. This year, the dog gain
levacccp [35]

Answer:

-2.26 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dog's initial weight be d.

Then, one year later, the dog weighs 3.73 lb less, and thus weighed d - 3.73 lb.  

During the next year, the dog gained 1.47 lb, so now weighs d - 3.73 + 1.47 lb, or

d - 2.26 lb.  This indicates a total weight loss of 2.26 over these two years.
