60 PTSA grocery store finds that the number of boxes of a new cereal sold increases each week. In the 1st week, 26 boxes of the

cereal were sold. In the 2nd week, 58 boxes of the cereal were sold and in the 3rd week 90 boxes of the cereal were sold. The number of boxes of cereal sold each week represents an arithmetic sequence.

Answer:

aₙ = 31n -  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of your sequence are.

26, 57, 88, …

This is an arithmetic sequence, because there is a constant difference of 31 between consecutive terms.

The explicit formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

aₙ = a₁ + d(n - 1 )

a₁ is the first term, and d is the difference in value between consecutive terms. Thus,  

aₙ = 26 + 31(n - 1) = 26 + 31n - 31

aₙ = 31n - 5

The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence is aₙ = 31n - 5.

For ΔABC, ∠A = 2x - 2, ∠B = 2x + 2, and ∠C = 5x. If ΔABC undergoes a dilation by a scale factor of 1 2 to create ΔA'B'C' with ∠A
Zolol [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The sum of angles in ∆ABC is 180°, so ...

... (2x -2) + (2x +2) + (5x) = 180

... 9x = 180

... x = 20

and the angles of ∆ABC are ∠A = 38°, ∠B = 42°, ∠C = 100°.

___

The sum of angles of ∆A'B'C' is 180°, so ...

... (58 -x) +(3x -18) +(120 -x) = 180

... x +160 = 180

... x = 20

and ∠A' = 38°, ∠B' = 42°, ∠C' = 100°.

_____

The values of angle measures of ∆ABC match those of ∆A'B'C', so we can conclude ...

... A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°
