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.

A 12 foot board is cut so that one piece is 5 times as long as the other. Find the length of each piece.
sveta [45]

Answer:

2 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be length of the small piece and y the length of the big one.

● y = 5x

Since the big piece is 5 times longer than the short one.

The total length is 12 ft

● y + x = 12

● 5x + x = 12

● 6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6

● 6x/6 = 12/6

● x = 2

So the length of the two pieces are 2 ft and 10 ft (5×2)

Can someone help me solve this?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

m<c = 104°

m<d = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary. Therefore, their sum equals 180°. Thus:

m<c + 76° = 180°

m<c + 76° - 76° = 180° - 76° (subtraction property of equality)

m<c = 104°

m<d + 100° = 180°

m<d +100° - 100° = 180° - 100° (subtraction property of equality)

m<d = 80°
