Mathematics

Answer:

6 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the student needs a total of 3/4 pounds of modeling clay we need to calculate how much is 3/4 of 8 since that is the denominator being used to calculate each individual package of clay. Since 3/4 is equal to 0.75 we can simply multiply this by 8 to calculate the total amount of clay needed.

8 * 0.75 = 6

This means that the student will need 6/8 pounds of clay. Since each package brings 1/8 pounds this means that we would need a total of 6 packages in order to have enough clay.

Find an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

The equation of the nth term is an = -621 + 42n

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the arithmetic sequence

- There is a constant difference between each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 2  ,  5  ,  8  ,  11  ,  ……………………….

# 5  ,  10  ,  15  ,  20  ,  …………………………

# 12  ,  10  ,  8  ,  6  ,  ……………………………

* General term (nth term) of an Arithmetic sequence:

- U1 = a  ,  U2  = a + d  ,  U3  = a + 2d  ,  U4 = a + 3d  ,  U5 = a + 4d

- Un = a + (n – 1)d, where a is the first term , d is the difference

  between each two consecutive terms

, n is the position of the term

* Lets solve the problem

∵ an = a + (n - 1)d

∴ a14 = a + (14 - 1)d

∴ a14 = a + 13d

∵ a14 = -33

∴ a + 13d = -33 ⇒ (1)

- Similar we can find another equation from a15

∵ a15 = a + (15 - 1)d

∴ a15 = a + 14d

∵ a15 = 9

∴ a + 14d = 9 ⇒ (2)

- We will solve equations (1) and (2) to find a and d

* Lets subtract equation (2) from equation (1)

∴ (a - a) + (13 - 14)d = (-33 - 9)

∴ -d = -42 ⇒ × both sides by -1

∴ d = 42

- Substitute this value of d in equation (1) or (2)

∵ a + 13d = -33

∵ d = 42

∴ a + 13(42) = -33

∴ a + 546 = -33 ⇒ subtract 546 from both sides

∴ a = -579

* Now lets write the equation of the nth term

∵ an = a + (n - 1)d

∵ a = -579 and d = 42

∴ an = -579 + (n - 1) 42 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ an = -579 + 42n - 42

∴ an = -621 + 42n

* The equation of the nth term is an = -621 + 42n

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, -2) and (-9, -2)
kodGreya [7K]

Slope = change in Y /  change in x

Slope = (-2 - -2) / (-9 - -1)

Simplify:

Slope = 0/-8 = 0

Slope = 0
