Answer: 10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

varies directly means: \frac{y}{x} = k

Step 1: solve for k   ⇒  \frac{21}{5} = k

Step 2: plug in the given value and k to solve for the missing value: \frac{42}{x} = \frac{21}{5}

42(5) = 21(x)

\frac{42(5)}{21} = \frac{21(x)}{21}

2(5) = x

10  = x

The first 5 terms of a sequence are shown below:
nirvana33 [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the formula for the nth term ,

First , find the common difference or common ratio.

Common difference =

T_2-T_1 \\  - 2 - 3 \\  =  - 5

Common ratio =

T_2/T_1 \\  \frac{ - 2}{3}

The common difference applies to the other given numbers for example :

T_3- T_2  =  - 7 - ( - 2) \\  =  - 7 + 2 =  - 5

this proves that it is an arithmetic sequence and the given formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

T_n =a(n-1)d

Where n = no of terms

a= first term

d= common difference

How do I solve for AB? (rounded to the nearest tenth)
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The answer would be 8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

For the smaller triangle, you use the pythagorean theorem. a squared + b squared = c squared.

To find one of the legs, you do 5 squared - 3 squared = b squared.

25 - 9 = b squared. (BD)

16 = b squared

4 = b

Now for the bigger right triangle. You still use the same tactic.

7 squared + 4 squared = c squared (which is AB)

49 + 16 = c squared

65 = c squared

That means c would equal: square root of 65, which is 8.0622577483 which rounds to 8.1
