Given:

The sequence is:

17,-\dfrac{17}{8},\dfrac{17}{27},-\dfrac{17}{64},\dfrac{17}{125},...

To find:

The formula for the nth term in the given sequence.

Solution:

We have,

17,-\dfrac{17}{8},\dfrac{17}{27},-\dfrac{17}{64},\dfrac{17}{125},...

The given sequence can be written as

\dfrac{17}{1^3},-\dfrac{17}{2^3},\dfrac{17}{3^3},-\dfrac{17}{4^3},\dfrac{17}{5^3},...

The sign are alternative and the absolute value of each term can be defined by the expression \dfrac{17}{n^3}, where n is a natural number.

So, the required formula is:

a_n=(-1)^{n+1}\dfrac{17}{n^3}

Therefore, the formula for nth term in the given sequence is a_n=(-1)^{n+1}\dfrac{17}{n^3}.

At high school basketball game, the athletic department sold 250 tickets and brought in 837.50. Adult tickets cost $5 and studen
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The system of equations is:

a+s = 250\\5a+2.50s = 837.50

Here a is the number of adult tickets and s is the number of student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the given statements to make a system of equations for the given scenario.

First of all we have to decide which variables to be used.

Let a be the number of adult tickets and

Let s be the number of student tickets

So according to the statement that the department sold 250 tickets in total, the equation will be:

a+s = 250

This is equation one of the system of equations

According to the statement that cost of adult ticket is $5, total cost of adult tickets will be: 5a

According to the statement that cost of student ticket is $2.50, total cost of student tickets will be:2.50s

The total earning was $837.50 so the second equation will be:

5a+2.50s = 837.50

Hence,

The system of equations is:

a+s = 250\\5a+2.50s = 837.50

Here a is the number of adult tickets and s is the number of student tickets
