Answer:

The first blank is 9 for 9 cucumbers

The second blank is 8 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

3 cucumbers x cucumbers

--------------------- = ----------------------

2 dollars 6 dollars

Using cross products

3*6 = 2x

18 = 2x

Divide by 2

18/2 = 2x/2

9 =x

We need 9 cucumbers

For the third row

3 cucumbers 12 cucumbers

--------------------- = ----------------------

2 dollars y dollars

Using cross products

3*y = 2*12

3y = 24

Divide by 3

3y/3 = 24/3

y = 8

We need 8 dollars

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

First answer is 1200

Second answer is 900 for each new employee

Step-by-step explanation:

First answer:

2200+1300+800+940+560+x = 7000

5800+x = 7000 subtract 5800 from both sides and you get your answer

x = 1200

Second answer:

x = 900. Each of the two employees made 900 a month or 1800 a month for both of them.

To find the average we take the total salaries and divide by the number of people to find the average salary. In this case, we know the average and we know all of the salaries, but two. We can figure this out.

(7000 + 2x)/8 = 1100 multiple both sides by 8 to clear the fraction/

7000 +2x = 8800 Subtract both sides by 7000

2x = 1800 Divide both sides by 2

x = 900

Let a1, a2, a3, ... be a sequence of positive integers in arithmetic progression with common difference

Bezzdna [24]

Since $a_1,a_2,a_3,\cdots$ are in arithmetic progression,

$a_2 = a_1 + 2$

$a_3 = a_2 + 2 = a_1 + 2\cdot2$

$a_4 = a_3+2 = a_1+3\cdot2$

$\cdots \implies a_n = a_1 + 2(n-1)$

and since $b_1,b_2,b_3,\cdots$ are in geometric progression,

$b_2 = 2b_1$

$b_3=2b_2 = 2^2 b_1$

$b_4=2b_3=2^3b_1$

$\cdots\implies b_n=2^{n-1}b_1$

Recall that

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n 1 = \underbrace{1+1+1+\cdots+1}_{n\,\rm times} = n$

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + n = \frac{n(n+1)}2$

It follows that

$a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n (a_1 + 2(k-1)) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = a_1 \sum_{k=1}^n 1 + 2 \sum_{k=1}^n (k-1) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = a_1 n + n(n-1)$

so the left side is

$2(a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n) = 2c n + 2n(n-1) = 2n^2 + 2(c-1)n$

Also recall that

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n ar^{k-1} = \frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$

so that the right side is

$b_1 + b_2 + \cdots + b_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n 2^{k-1}b_1 = c(2^n-1)$

Solve for $c$ .

$2n^2 + 2(c-1)n = c(2^n-1) \implies c = \dfrac{2n^2 - 2n}{2^n - 2n - 1} = \dfrac{2n(n-1)}{2^n - 2n - 1}$

Now, the numerator increases more slowly than the denominator, since

$\dfrac{d}{dn}(2n(n-1)) = 4n - 2$

$\dfrac{d}{dn} (2^n-2n-1) = \ln(2)\cdot2^n - 2$

and for $n\ge5$ ,

$2^n > \dfrac4{\ln(2)} n \implies \ln(2)\cdot2^n - 2 > 4n - 2$

This means we only need to check if the claim is true for any $n\in\{1,2,3,4\}$ .

$n=1$ doesn't work, since that makes $c=0$ .

If $n=2$ , then

$c = \dfrac{4}{2^2 - 4 - 1} = \dfrac4{-1} = -4 < 0$

If $n=3$ , then

$c = \dfrac{12}{2^3 - 6 - 1} = 12$

If $n=4$ , then

$c = \dfrac{24}{2^4 - 8 - 1} = \dfrac{24}7 \not\in\Bbb N$

There is only one value for which the claim is true, $c=12$ .
