Answer:
(x - y)(j - s).
Step-by-step explanation:
jx + sy - sx - jy
= jx - sx + sy - jy
= x(j - s) - y(j - s)
= (x - y)(j - s).
Answer:
a₂ = -3
a₃ = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to insert two arithmetic means between -5 and 1
Let a₁ and b₂ be the two arithmetic means between -5 and 1
-5, a₂, a₃, 1
Here,
We know that the nth term of an Arithmetic sequence
aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d
a₄ = -5 + (4-1)d
1 = -5 + 3d
1 + 5 = 3d
3d = 6
Dividing both sides by 2
d = 2
Also
a₂ = a₁ + (2-1)d
a₂ = -5 + d
a₂ = -5 + 2 ∵ d = 2
a₂ = -3
a₃ = a₁ + (3-1)d
a₃ = -5 + 2d
a₃ = -5 + 2(2) ∵ d = 2
a₃ = -5 + 4
a₃ = -1
Thus,
a₂ = -3
a₃ = -1
Thus, the sequence becomes:
-5, -3, -3, 1
Change the first to a decimal
15 2/5 = 15 4/10 = 15.4 miles
15.4 miles
------------
2.1 hours
7.33333333(repeating) miles/hour
7 1/3 miles per hour
