Answer:
a. it is arithmentic - this is because for each term there is a constant increase of 4, and the change between each term <u>doesn't change</u>
b. you need to find the nth term, by using the equation difference x n + 0th term: the difference is (+)4 and the 0th term is -9 (-5 is the 1st term, so to go one back we subtract 4 - the inverse operation), so the nth term is 4n -9. Now we do the inverse operation on 119 to see if it's a term (it is a term if it's an integer. So, first we do 119 <u>plus</u> 9 (inverse of - 9) to get 128, then divide it by 4 rather than multiplying. This gives us 32, and that tells us that 119 is the 32nd term of the sequence.
Answer:
|x + 5|= 7
-7<(x+5)<7
-7<x+5<7
-7-5<x+5-5<7-5
-12 < x <2
Step-by-step explanation:
In this type of calculations, we decompose 13 by checking the lowest powers of the base, that is 40. for example we check 40^2, or 40^3 and compare it to 85
Notice
40*40*40=64,000
so we check how many time does 85 fit into 64,000:
64,000/85=752.94
85*753=64,005; 64000-64,005=-5
this means that
thus
Answer: 10 (mod85)
Remark, the set of all solutions is:
{......-75, 10, 95, .....}, that is 85k +10
In order to simplify, let's add 6x and 13x.
We will get 19x, and that is the answer!
