Answer: Yes. This is because his fifth attempt was 52.47 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Swimmers best time in event is 53.87 seconds and that on average, his best time decreases by 0.28 seconds each of the next five times he swims the event.

The time for the fifth time he swim will be:

= 53.87 - 5(0.28)

= 53.87 - 1.4

= 52.47 seconds

This means that he accomplish his goal of swimming the event in less than 52.5 seconds.

Given the following diagram, find the missing measure.<br>*​
BigorU [14]

Option C:

x = 30

Solution:

The given image is a triangle.

angle 1, angle 2 and angle 3 are interior angles of a triangle.

angle 4 is the exterior angle of a triangle.

m∠4 = 2x°, m\angle2=\frac{4}{3}x^\circ, m∠3 = 20°

Exterior angle theorem:

<em>In triangle, the measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.</em>

By this theorem,

m∠4 = m∠2 + m∠3

$2x^\circ=\frac{4}{3}x^\circ+20^\circ

Subtract \frac{4}{3}x^\circ on both sides of the equation.

$2x^\circ-\frac{4}{3}x^\circ=20^\circ

To make the denominator same and then subtract.

$\frac{6}{3}x^\circ -\frac{4}{3}x^\circ=20^\circ

$\frac{2}{3}x^\circ =20^\circ

Multiply by \frac{3}{2} on both sides of the equation.

x° = 30°

x = 30

Hence option C is the correct answer.

What is the nth term rule of the linear sequence below?<br> -4,-1,2,5,8,...
storchak [24]

Answer:

The nth term of the given sequence  tₙ = 3 n - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence   - 4 , -1 , 2 , 5, 8 , .....

First term a = -4

The difference of two terms of a given sequence

d = -1 - (-4) = -1 +4 = 3

d = 2 - (-1) = 2 +1 = 3

d = 5 -2 = 3

d = 8 - 5 =3

The difference of two terms of a given sequence is equal

∴ The given sequence is in Arithmetic progression(AP)

     The nth term of given sequence

   t _{n} = a + ( n-1 ) d

  = -4 + (n -1 ) 3 \\= - 4 + 3n - 3 \\= 3 n - 7

<u><em>Final answer:</em></u>-

The nth term of the given sequence  tₙ = 3 n - 7

Triangle ABC is defined by the points A(2,9), B(8,4), and C(-3,-2).
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

5y - 6x = 8 or y = 6x/5 + 8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

let M1= gradient of line AB and M2= gradient of the second line

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradients is -1

i.e, M1M2= -1

M2= -1/M1

A(2,9) and B(8,4)

gradient= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

M1= (4-9)/(8-2)

= -5/6

M2= -1÷ -5/6

-1 × -6/5= 6/5

Equation of the line passing through C(-3,-2)

[y-(-2)]/[x-(-3)= 6/5

(y+2)/(x+3)= 6/5

5(y+2)= 6(x+3)

5y+10=6x+18

5y= 6x + 8

y= 6x/5 + 8/5
