Answer:

The general rule for the nth term of this sequence will be:

$a_n=3na+9a$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

12a, 15a, 18a, 21a, 24a,...

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by

$a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d$

Here,

a₁ = 12a

computing the differences of all the adjacent terms

d = 15a-12a = 3a, d = 18a-15a=3a, d=21a-18a=3a, d=24a-21a=3a

using the nth term formula

$a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d$

substituting a₁ = 12a, d = 3a

$a_n=12a+\left(n-1\right)3a$

$=12a+3na-3a$

$=3na+9a$

Therefore, the general rule for the nth term of this sequence will be:

$a_n=3na+9a$

No because ab can be divided by a and b.

Marc mows lawns for $25 each lawn, plus $5 for every hour he spends mowing. The equation for his total earnings per lawn is y =

Mila [183]

Answer:

<h2>The flat pay $25 represents the intercept</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question we need to first understand and compare it with the equation of straight line.

i.e $y= mx+c$ which is the equation of line

where m= slope

y= dependent variable

x= independent variable

c= intercept

Given

$y= 25+5h$

comparing both expression we can see that

25 corresponds to c which is the intercept

Solve for x <br> Xsquare+ 4x+45=0

I am Lyosha [343]

For this case we must solve the following quadratic equation:

$x ^ 2 + 4x + 45 = 0$

Where:

$a = 1\\b = 4\\c = 45$

The solution will be given by:

$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}$

Substituting the values we have:

$x = \frac {-4 \pm \sqrt {4 ^ 2-4 (1) (45)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {-4 \pm \sqrt {16-180}} {2}\\x = \frac {-4 \pm \sqrt {-164}} {2}$

By definition we have to:

$i ^ 2 = -1$

So:

$x = \frac {-4 \pm \sqrt {164i ^ 2}} {2}\\x = \frac {-4 \pm i \sqrt {164}} {2}\\x = \frac {-4 \pm i \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 41}} {2}\\x = \frac {-4 \pm2i \sqrt {41}} {2}\\x = -2 \pm i \sqrt {41}$

Thus, we have two complex roots:

$x_ {1} = - 2 + i \sqrt {41}\\x_ {2} = - 2-i \sqrt {41}$

Answer:

$x_ {1} = - 2 + i \sqrt {41}\\x_ {2} = - 2-i \sqrt {41}$
