Answer:

The sequence has first term 7 and common difference is 8.

So the sequence is f(n)=7 + 8(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the first term.

Let a+d be the second term where d is the common difference.

Then a+2d is the third....

And a+(n-1)d is the nth term.

Adding these terms we get:

an+(n-1)(n)/2×d

For the first term of this sum I seen we had n amount of a's and for the second term I used the well known identity sum of the first n positive integers is n(n+1)/2.

Let's simplify:

an+(n-1)(n)/2×d

Distribute:

an+(n^2d/2)-(nd/2)

Find common denominator:

(2an/2)+(n^2d/2)-(nd/2)

Combine terms into one:

(2an+n^2d-nd)/2

Reorder terms:

(n^2d+2an-nd)/2

Regroup terms:

(n^2d+(2a-d)n)/2

We want the following sum though:

4n^2+3n

This means d/2=4 (so d=8) and (2a-d)/2=3.

So plug d=8 into second equation to solve for a.

(2a-8)/2=3

2a-8=6

2a=14

a=7

The sequence has first term 7 and common difference is 8.

So the sequence is f(n)=7 + 8(n-1).

Knox save $56 during the summer break. He spent 3/7 of his savings on a pair of baseball cleats. He spent 5/8 of the remaining m
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

He spent 3/7 of 56

3/7*56 =24

Take the original amount and subtract what was spent

56-24 =32

He has 32 left

He spent 5/8 of that on a bat

5/8 *32 =20

Take the amount of money he had and subtract what was spent

32-20 = 12

He has 12 left

The coordinates of the endpoints of directed line sergeant ABC are A(-8,7) and C(7,-13). If AB:BC = 3:2 then the coordinates of
cestrela7 [59]

The correct answer is A) (1,-5)

Further explanation:

Given points are:

A(-8,7)=(x1,y1)

C(7,13)=(x2,y2)

IT is also given that

AB:BC=3:2

Which means that B divides the line segment in 3:2

Here,

m=3

n=2

To find the coordinates of B

x_B=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}\\ = \frac{(3)(7)+(2)(-8)}{3+2}\\=\frac{21-16}{5}\\=\frac{5}{5}\\=1\\y_B=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\\=\frac{(3)(-13)+(2)(7)}{3+2}\\=\frac{-39+14}{5}\\=\frac{-25}{5}\\=-5

The coordinates of point B are (1,-5)

The correct answer is A) (1,-5)
