MULTIPLE CHOICE 9th grade math: help me find the formula to the nth term:

Mathematics
1 answer:
maxonik [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a_{n} = - 5n - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms, that is

- 12 - (- 7) = - 17 - (- 12) = - 5

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 7 and d = - 5, then

a_{n} = - 7 - 5(n - 1) = - 7 - 5n + 5 = - 5n - 2

The number of goals scored by a soccer team varies directly as the number of shots on goal. If the Lakeside Bears scored 4 goals
enot [183]

Since it varies directly, divide the number of shots by the number of goals:

48 shots / 4 goals = 12

This tells you they score a goal every 12 shots.

Multiply shots needed by number of goals:

12 x 3 = 36

They need 36 more shots to score 3 more goals.

A pair of snow boots at an equipment store in Big Bear that originally cost $80 is on sale for $56. What is the rate of discount
8_murik_8 [283]

Divide the sale price by the original price:

56 / 89 = 0.7

Multiply by 100:

0.7 x 100 = 70%

The sale price is 70% of the original price, so the discount would be 30% (100-70= 30)

what are the steps to answer this question? Jeff is baking a cake. The recipe says that he has to mix 32 grams of powder to the
Deffense [45]
Well what I would do first is to divide 128 by 32 which I do believe gets you 4. So now you know that 1 cup of powder can make 4 servings. So you now know that each serving only requires 1/4 cup of the powder.

So now we know Jeff went over so now we have Jeff added 2/3 and he only needs 1/4. I would now make them both equivalent by multiplying the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 4 and the same for 1/4 but instead by 4 multiply it by 3 which you would get 2/3=8/12 and 1/4=3/12. Now subtract the two to get your answer.

8/12-3/12=5/12

Answer: He went over and he needs to remove 5/12 of the cup

What is the area, in square inches, of the isosceles trapezoid below?
Komok [63]
A = 73.84

Explanation-

14.2 - 6.4 = 7.8 (to get the length of the base without the top part)

7.8 • 5.2 = 40.56 (to find the area outside of our subtracted square that has the top part)

6.4 • 5.2 = 33.28 (to find the area of the inner square)

40.56 + 33.28 = 73.84 (adding together both parts to find the total area)

A = 73.84
