Answer:

A: an = 6n - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

third term in an arithmetic sequence is 9

a3 = a + 2d

a + 2d = 9

the fifth term is 21

a5 = a + 4d

a + 4d = 21

a + 2d = 9 (1)

a + 4d = 21 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) to eliminate a

4d - 2d = 21 - 9

2d = 12

d = 12/2

d = 6

Substitute d = 6 into (1)

a + 2d = 9 (1)

a + 2(6) = 9

a + 12 = 9

a = 9 - 12

a = -3

nth term of this sequence = a + (n - 1)d

= -3 + (n - 1)6

= -3 + 6n - 6

= 6n - 9

an = 6n - 9

An inequality can be formed by simply translating the problem statement to numerical expressions.

From the problem we know that 3w added with 52 hours should be equal or greater than 90 (helpful insight from the keyword "at least"). Therefore, it's inequality would look like:

3w+52>=90 (>= is used instead of ≥ for constraints in formatting)

The inequality above best models the situation.

The ratio of the width to the length of a flower is 10:19. How long is the flower bed if it’s width is 6 feet?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Just set up an equation comparing the two ratios and solve for the length, in this case x.

(10/19)=(6/x)
19/10=x/6
114/10=x

Answer= 11.4 feet for the length of the flower

6²/2(3) +4

6²=36
2(3)=6
So now we have
36/6 + 4  which is 6 + 4 which is 10.
