Answer:

111

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequences are linear. That means no matter the pair of points use to calculate slope, or common difference, that number remains constant.

We are given points (1,-12) and (27,66) are on the line.

Calculating slope by subtracting points and then putting 2nd number over 1st.

(27,66)

(1, -12)

-----------subtracting

26 , 78

The slooe or the common difference is 78/26=3.

So now we want to know n such that (42,n) is on this same line.

Let's use the slope formula again with (42,n) and (1,-12).

(42,n)

( 1,-12)

----------subtracting

41 , n+12

The slope is (n+12)/41 but we have also calculated it to be 3 so these expressions are equal.

(n+12)/41=3

Multiply both sides by 41:

n+12=123

Subtract 12 on both sides.

n=111

Answer:

a₄₂ = 107

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₂₇ = 66 , then

a₁ + 26d = 66 , that is

- 12 + 26d = 66 ( add 12 to both sides )

26d = 78 ( divide both sides by 26 )

d = 3

Then

a₄₂ = - 16 + (41 × 3) = - 12 + 123 = 111

How is solving an equation with no solution similar to solving an equation that has an infinite number of solutions?
Nadusha1986 [10]
Solving a equation with no solution is similar to solving an equation that has an infinite number of solutions because both will keep on going no matter how many times you will get no solution and no matter how many times you would get an infinite number

It takes 4 people 2 days to build a patio. How long will it take 2 people, working at the same rate, to buid the patio?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The patio takes 4 people 2 days, so that is 4×2. To get this for 2 people, it's 2×4. This means it takes 4 days.

Think about it, for half the people, it should take double the time.
