Answer:

The 49th term is 39.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a decreasing arithmetic sequence.  We recognize this because the difference from one term to the next is 5.

The general formula needed here is a(n) = a(1) - 5(n - 1)

a(45) = 261 - 5(46 - 1), or

a(45) =  261 - 225 = 39

The 49th term is 39.

A rectangle is constructed with its base on theâ x-axis and two of its vertices on the parabola yequals=2525minusâxsquared2. wha
Nina [5.8K]
You should have drawn1 - x-axis and y-axis in light pencil.2 - graphed a down-facing parabola with the top of the frown on the y-axis at y = 2.  It should be crossing the x-axis at ±√2.  This should be in dark pencil or another color.3 - In dark pencil or a completely new color, draw a rectangle with one of the horizontal sides sitting on top of the x-axis and the other horizontal side touching the parabola at each of the top corners of the rectangle. The rectangle will have half of its base in the positive x-axis and the other half on the negative x-axis.  It should be split right down the middle by the y-axis.  So each half of the base we will say is "x" units long.  So the whole base is 2x units long (the x units to the right of the y-axis, and the x units to the left of the y-axis)  I so wish I could draw you this picture...   In the vertical direction, both vertical edges are the same length and we will call that y.   The area that we want to maximize has a width 2x long, and a height of y tall. So A = 2xy     This is the equation we want to maximize (take derivative and set it = 0), we call it the "primary equation", but we need it in one variable. This is where the "secondary equation" comes in.  We need to find a way to change the area formula to all x's or all y's. Since it is constrained to having its height limited by the parabola, we could use the fact that y=2 - x2 to make the area formula in only x's.   Substitute in place of the "y", "2 - x2" into the area formula. A = 2xy = 2x(2 - x2)   then simplify A = 4x - 2x3     NOW you are ready to take the deriv and set it = 0 dA/dx = 4 - 6x2       0 = 4 - 6x2   6x2 = 4    x2 = 4/6 or 2/3 So x = ±√(2/3) Width remember was 2x.   So the width is 2[√(2/3)]Height is y which is 2 - x2 = 2 - 2/3  =4/3

Taylor and Nora go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Taylor spends a total of $69.00 on 6 drinks
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The system if equation that can be used to derive this are

6x + 4y = 69 AND

12x + y = 96

The price of a drink is $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The question here says that Taylor and Nora went to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Taylor spends a total of $69.00 on 6 drinks and 4 bags of popcorn Nora spends a total of $96.00 on 12 drinks and bag of popcorn.And we are now told to write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one drink and the price of one bag of popcorn. Using these equations,we should determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent .

Now, Let's assume that the price of a drink is "X" and that of a bag of popcorn to be Y

The first person made a purchase which led to the equation

6x + 4y = 69______ equation 1

And the second person also made a purchase that lead to the equation

12x + y = 96_____ equation 2

We make y the subject of the formula in equation 2 and apply it in 1

Y = 96 - 12x

Now apply the above in equation 1

6x + 4y = 69

6x + 4(96 - 12x)= 69

6x + 384 - 48x = 69

42x = 384 - 69

X = 315/42

X = 7.5

Substitute x= 7.5 in equation 2

12x + y = 96

12(7.5) + y = 96

90 + y = 96

Y = 6

Therefore, the price of a drink is $7.5
