Answer:

C. (-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the 2 equations:

5y= 7x +22 -----(1)

x= -6y +17 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

5y= 7(-6y +17) +22

5y= -42y +119 +22 (Expand bracket)

5y= -42y +141 (Simplify)

42y +5y= 141 (+42y on both sides)

47y= 141

y= 141 ÷47 (÷47 on both sides)

y= 3

Substitute y= 3 into (2):

x= -6(3) +17

x= -18 +17

x= -1

Thus, the solution is (-1, 3).

Distance= 2797.2 time= 0.15 speed

Nutka1998 [239]

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Distance = 2797.2

Time = 0.15

2797.2 / 0.15 = 18,648

Speed = 18,648

use the explicit formula an = a1 + (n - 1) * d to find the 500th term of the sequence below. 24,30,36,42,48,... A. 3018 B. 3042

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

24, 30, 36, 42, 48, ...

It is an AP. Here,

First term = 24

Common difference = 30-24 = 6

The given explicit formula for nth term is

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

where, $a_1$ is first term, d is common difference.

Substitute $a_1=24, d=6 \text{ and }n=500$ in the above formula.

$a_{500}=24+(500-1)(6)$

$a_{500}=24+(499)(6)$

$a_{500}=24+2994$

$a_{500}=3018$

The 500th term of the sequence is 3018.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Guillermo is a professional deep water free diver. his altitude (in meters relative to sea level), xxx seconds after diving, is

klasskru [66]

Answer: The maximum depth that he will reach is -125 meters.

The first thing you should realize is that this is a quadratic equation and the graph will be a parabola.

We can simply the equation to:

y = (1/20)x^2 - 5x

Now, use -b/2a to find the x-value of the vertex which is 50. Then, input 50 back into the equation to get -125 for the maximum depth.
