Answer:

B. a_{n} = a_{n-1}+2; a_{1} = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we find that the following two conditions must be observed:

a_{i} = 86 (Eq. 1)

a_{i}-a_{i-1} = 2 (Eq. 2)

Since the difference between two even numbers leads to another even number. Hence, a_{1} must be an even number and the correct answer is B.

\sqrt{64}=8\\\\8\dfrac17=8.14285714...\\\\8.\overline{14}=8.14141414...\\\\ \dfrac{15}2=7,5\\\\\\ \boxed{\ \dfrac{15}2\ \ \textless \ \ \sqrt{64}\ \ \textless \ \ 8.\overline{14}\ \ \textless \ \ 8\dfrac17\ }

5.

\sqrt{18}  doesn't belong with the other three because it is irrational number
The other three can be expressed as a ratio between two <span>integers.

-\dfrac{10}2=\dfrac{-10\ }2\\\\-13.4=-13\frac4{10}=\frac{-134}{\ 10}\\\\ 22.\overline7=22\frac79=\frac{205}9\\\\\\ \sqrt{18}=\sqrt{9\cdot2}=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt2=3\sqrt2

Is the following relation a function? *
spayn [35]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well at first glance it might seem so but there are two points particularly that can tell you that these points cannot be within a function.

The points (3,2) and (3,-2) will yield an undefined slope (a straight vertical line). There is no possibility that the other points can be in this line (as their y - values are different) and there is no possibilty that this is a function at all according to the vertical line test (the test is that if you draw a vertical line that there shouldn't be more than one point on it).

The length of a rectangular floor is 2 feet more than its width. The area of the floor is 168 square feet. Kim wants to use a ru
ioda
Let width of the floor be x feet, them area is
x(x+2)  = 168
x^2 + 2x - 168 = 0
(x - 12)(x + 14) - 0
so x = 12
the floor is 12 ft by 10 ft

the width of the rug should be 10 - 2(2) = 6 feet
