Answer:
the common difference of the sequence is
Step-by-step explanation:
A sequence of numbers is said to be in arithmetic progression of each term of the sequence has same common difference.
Now, here first term a1 = 1/4
Second term a2 = 5/16
Third term a3 = 3/8
Now, Common difference (d) = a2 - a1 = a3 - a2
Now, a2 - a1 =
Now, a3 - a2 =
Hence, the common difference of the sequence is
The answer is m = -59/42
Step by step explanation is in the image below.
Answer:
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
When you get to the second checkpoint, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish
so
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is equal to the total distance multiplied by 1/4
The total distance is 40 miles ( see the attached figure)
so
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is
<em>Find out the distance from the start to the first checkpoint</em>
Multiply the distance from the star to the second checkpoint by 2/5
