The nth term of a sequence is 3n^2- 1

Answer: The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two sequences, let's call one as A and the other as B.

The n-th term of sequence A is written as:

aₙ = 3*n^2 - 1

the nth term of sequence B is written as:

bₙ = 30 - n^2

We want to find a term that belongs to both sequences, (it can be for different integers, we can use n for sequence A and x for sequence B)

Then we want to find:

aₙ = bₓ

where n and x are integer numbers.

Then we will heave:

3*n^2 - 1 = 30 - x^2

To find the pair, we could isolate one of the variables, then input different integers in the other variable and see if the outcome is also an integer.

Let's isolate n.

3*n^2 = 30 - x^2 + 1

3*n^2 = 31 - x^2

n^2 = (31 - x^2)/3

n = √(  (31 - x^2)/3)

Now let's input different values for x, and see if the outcome is also an integer, notice that x is in a negative term inside a square root, then we have only a few values of x such that the equation can be true.

Then let's start with x = 1.

n(1) = √(  (31 - 1^2)/3) = √(30/3) = √10

We know that √10 is not an integer.

now with x = 2,

n(2) = √(  (31 - 2^2)/3)  = √( (31 - 4)/3) = √(27/3) = √9 = 3

then if x = 2, we have n = 3.

Both of them are integers, then we get:

a₂ = 3*(3)^2 - 1 = 27 - 1 = 26

b₃ = 30 - 2^2 = 30 - 4 = 26

The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.

Help please asap PLEASE TELL ME THE WORKING AS WELL.​

Answer:

a = 9 / 7

step by step explanation:

9 / - a + 15 = 8

Determined the defined range

9 / ( - a ) + 15 = 8 , a ≠ 0

subtract 15 from each side

9 / - a + 15 - 15 = 8 - 15

calculate the difference

9 / - a = - 7

multiply both side of equation by - a

9 / - a × - a = - 7 × - a

9 = 7 a

divide each side by of equation by -7

9 / 7 = 7 a / 7

9 / 7 = a

swap the side of equation . ( optional )

a = 9 / 7

5x – (13 – x) >_9x – 7
ad-work [718]

Answer:

x<_2

Step-by-step explanation:

first off solve this like a regular equation the >_ dosent matter till later

so basically first multiply - by 13 and -x so you get -13 and x (multiplying two negatives = a positive)

so its 5x-13+x>_9x-7

add 5x and x to get 6x-13 on one side

then you get 6x-13>_9x-7 then subtract -9x from both sides

so its now -3x-13>_-7 add 13 so you get -3x>_6

then divide both sides by -3 (when you divide an equation with a >< or <_ >_ by a negative number that sign switches) so it will now be x<_2

that your final answer hope this helps :)

The principal P is borrowed and the loan's future value A at time t is given. Determine the loan's simple interest rater.
Anni [7]
Interest rate = 7%

I= PRT where I is the interest earned, p is the principal, r is rate as a decimal, and t is time in years.


A - P will give us the interest earned.

12,150 - 9,000 = 3,150

3150 = (9000)(r)(5)
3150 = 45,000r
r = 0.07
r = 7%
