Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
given

we first need to simplify the expression before we find it's value when s=-3
positive times negative=negative
so the equation becomes

substituting s=-3 into the equation.

=

=the negatives cancel out leaving

Answer:
x₁ = 3,29296875
x₂ = 3,276659786
x₃ = 3,279420685
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a recurrent relationship between xₙ₊₁ and xₙ
To get x₁, write the formula with n=0:

Then fill in what you know, x₀=3.2. This gives you x₁.
Repeat for n=1,... and so forth.
Excel can do this effectively, see picture.
Answer:
3a=4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
it says that "a is equal to 3 times b", which translates to a=3b
We can substitute a as 3b in 2a+4b=5
2(3b)+4b=5
multiply
6b+4b=5
add
10b=5
divide by 10
b=1/2
since it's given that a=3b, we can multiply 1/2 by 3
a=3/2
3a is 3 times a, so we can mutiply 3(3/2)=9/2=4.5
Hope this helps!
Answer:520; 240
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 13, 26, 39, 52,......
a = First term = 13
d = common difference = 26 - 13 = 13
40th term = a + (n - 1)d = a + (40-1)d = a + 39d
= 13 + (39 × 13)
= 13 + 507
= 520
b. 6, 12, 18, 24,.......
a = First term = 6
d = common difference = 12 - 6 = 6
40th term = a + 39d
= 6 + 39(6)
= 6 + 234.
= 240
