Answer:

<h2>            aₙ = 7n - 10</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term:  a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

So:

    a₄ = a₁ + 3d

18 =  a₁ + 3d   ⇒   3d =  18 - a₁

    a₇ = a₁ + 6d

39 = a₁ + 6d

39 = a₁ + 2(18 - a₁)

39 = a₁ + 36 - 2a₁

39 = 36 - a₁

a₁ = -3

3d = 18 - (-3)

3d = 21

d = 7

So the nth term:

                            a_n = -3 + 7(n-1)\\\\a_n=-3 +7n - 7\\\\a_n = 7n - 10

The ratio of boys to girls in hometown is 2:3. If there are 8 boys, how many girls are there?
Ilya [14]

Answer: If the radio boys to girls is 2:3 you can solve the problem with equivalent fractions: 2/3 = 8/x , to be equivalent you have to multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number, which for this case has to be 4. The answer is: if there are 8 boys , there are 12 girls

In mostar, bosnia, the ultimate test of a young man's courage once was to jump off a 400-year-old bridge (now destroyed) into th
Alex787 [66]

To solve this problem, we must assume that the man undergoes constant acceleration as he goes down the river (therefore no other forces must act on him except gravity). Therefore we can use the formula below to calculate for the duration of his fall:

y = y0 + v0 t + 0.5 a t^2

where y is the distance and y0 = 0 since we set the reference point at the bridge, v0 is the initial velocity and is also equal to v0 = 0 since the man started from rest, therefore the equation becomes:

y = 0 + 0 t + 0.5 a t^2

y = 0.5 a t^2

Rewriting in terms of t:

t^2 = 2 y / a

t = sqrt (2y / a)

a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

t = sqrt [2 * 23 / 9.8]

t = 2.17 s

 

Therefore the jump last only about 2.17 seconds.
