Answer:

- 66

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 2 and d = a₂ - a₁ = - 2 - 2 = - 4, thus

a_{18} = 2 + (17 × - 4) = 2 - 68 = - 66

Technetium-99m, a radioisotope used to image the skeleton and the heart muscle, has a half-life of about 6 hours. Find the decay
sashaice [31]
The decay constant is i 0.1155, and there would be 16 mg left after 24 hours.

The relationship between the half-life, T₀.₅, and the decay constant, λ, is given by

T₀.₅ = 0.693/λ.

Solving for λ, we will multiply both sides by λ first:
(T₀.₅)(λ) = 0.693

Since we know the half life is 6 hours, this gives us:
6λ = 0.693

Dividing by 6, we have
λ = 0.693/6 = 0.1155.

The decay constant will be k in our decay formula, and N₀, the original amount of substance, is 250:
N(24) = 250e^(-0.1155*24) = 15.6 ≈ 16

Maria has $1.25 in nickels and dimes. She has a total of 16 coins. How many of each coin does he have?
Flauer [41]
Q=quarters, d=dimes


q+d=8
.25q+.1d=1.25

Let's set the first equation to equal d.

d=8-q

.25q+.1(8-q)=1.25

Distribute.

.25q+.8-.1q=1.25

Combine Like Terms

.15q+.8=1.25

Subtract .8

.15q=.45

Divide by .15

q=3

Now, let's solve for d in the first equation.

d+3=8

Subtract 3, and you get d=5

So, there are 5 dimes and 3 quarters in Maribel's pocket.

Check: .25(3)+.1(5)=1.25

.75+.5=1.25
1.25=1.25 which is true.

The sales of homes in a new development have been increasing. In January, 5 homes were sold, in February,
Rama09 [41]

Answer: a_n=7n-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let we consider sales of home in January as first term for sequence, then sales in February will be 2nd term and so on.

According to the given information, we have

First term : a_1=5

Second term :a_2= 12=5+7

Third term : a_3= 19=12+7

We can see that, Common difference = 7

Explicit rule for Arithmetic sequence :

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Put a_1=5 and d=7

a_n=5+(n-1)7\\\\ a_n=5+7n-7\\\\ a_n=7n+5-7\\\\ a_n=7n-2

The required  explicit rule that can be used to find the number of homes sold in the nth month of the year : a_n=7n-2
