Answer:

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a function that can be used to describe the x th term of the sequence

Mathematically, this can be calculated by looking at the numbers in the sequence

The difference between each successive term

is -1.5 ( 6.5-8, 3.5 -5)

So the formula for then x th term will be;

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

where x refers to the number of the term , for example the 4th term

The figure shows the location of three points around a lake. The length of the lake, BC, is also shown.
Anastaziya [24]
A right triangle ABC is formed when we join three points around a lake.
Length of the side AC = 6 miles.
Length of the side BC = 2 miles.
We have to find Length of side AB.
Using Pythagorean theorem for Right triangle ABC , Right angled at B
→AB² + BC²= AC²
→ AB² + 2²= 6²
→ AB² = 36 - 4
→ AB²= 32
→ AB = √ 32
→→AB = 5.66 (approx)
Option (B) AB = 5.66 is Right choice.

Lara employed a residential cleaning service to tidy up her home. They charged her $150 for 3
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the rate that was charged for Lara's time

       rate = dollars / hour

The use this rate to calculate how many hours it took to clean Roy's house, since the rates are the same.  Solve for hours.....

      rate for Lara = dollars / hour        =  $150 / 3 hour   =     $50 / hour

     rate for Roy = dollars / hour         Solve for hours

                                                            multiply both sides by hours

     (rate for Roy) (hour) = (dollars / hour) (hour)

     (rate for Roy) (hour) = (hour) (dollars / hour)       right side hours cancel

     (rate for Roy) (hour) = (dollars)     divide both sides by (rate for Roy)

     (rate for Roy) (hour) / (rate for Roy) = (dollars) / (rate for Roy)

                       now the rate for Roy on the leftside cancel

     (rate for Roy) (hour) / (rate for Roy) = (dollars) / (rate for Roy)

     (hour) = (dollars) / (rate for Roy)           Plug in $225 charged to Roy

                                                                     and the $50 / hour rate

   

       hour = $225 / ($50/hour)             ( 1 over 1 / hour )  = hour  

                = $(225/50) hour            think about  1 / (1/2)  = 2  the same with units

      hour =  4.5 hours

If α and β are the zeroes of the polynomial ax^2 + bx + c, find the value of α^2 + β^2
Pie

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

α + β = -b/a

αβ = c/a

α² + β² = (α + β)² - 2αβ

           = (\frac{-b}{a})^{2}-2\frac{c}{a}\\\\= \frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{2c}{a}\\\\=\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{2c*a}{a*a}\\\\=\frac{b^{2}-2ca}{a^{2}}
