Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term = a+d(n-1) =25+5(n-1) = 25+5n-5 = 20+5n

300 = 20 + 5n

5n = 280

n = 56

since 300 is the last term in the sequence, the total number would be 36

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

clearly, the sequence is built by adding 5 for every new term.

so, an = an-1 + 5

a1 = 25 (the starting value)

a2 = a1 + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30

a3 = a2 + 5 = a1 + 5 + 5 = a1 + 2×5 = 25 + 10 = 35

...

an = an-1 + 5 = a1 + (n-1)×5

now, we know, the last term is 300.

when we determine for which n we get an = 300, we know that n is the number of terms in the sequence.

so,

300 = a1 + (n-1)×5 = 25 + 5n - 5 = 20 + 5n

280 = 5n

n = 56

a56 = 300

so, we have 56 terms in this sequence

What is the average rate of change for this function for the interval from x=3 to x=5?

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Here [ a, b ] = [ 3, 5 ]

From the table of values

f(b) = f(5) = 32

f(a) = f(3) = 8

Hence

average rate of change = $\frac{32-8}{5-3}$ = $\frac{24}{2}$ = 12

Can someone help me?

Hi Eli!

--------------------------------------

We Know:

1 1/2 cups of flour.

3/4 cup of white sugar.

1/8 cup of brown sugar.

--------------------------------------

Part A:

I can't use a number line answering this question but you can create one with the steps I tell you.

First find common denominators:

1 1/2 = 3/2 = 12/8

3/4 = 6/8

1/8

Create a number that goes from 0/8 to 12/8, which means put a number with 12, 1/8 plots on it. Then plot 12/8, 6/8, and 1/8 in order in the number line.

Find out the total number of cups used:

12/8 + 6/8 + 1/8 = 19/8

Simplify:

19/8 = 2 3/84

Part A Answer: There are <u>2 3/8 cups</u> used all together.

--------------------------------------

Part B:

Part B Answer: The <u>3 cup bowl</u> would work perfectly.

Why: The reason you would want to choose the 3 cup bowl is because it fits all the ingredients perfectly, the 3 cup bowl is greater than the 2 3/8 cups they used. You can't use 2 cups because it is less than the total cups of ingredients. The 4 bowl you could use but it is too big.
