It depends. Generally no.
Linear equations are generally in the form [math]y=mx+b[/math] and have a domain of [math](-\infty,\infty)[/math], or all real numbers. However, an arithmetic sequence is only defines for the natural numbers (that is, while numbers [math]> 0[/math].
For any two terms in the arithmetic sequence, [math]a_n[/math] and [math]a_{n+1}[/math], there will always be a point on the linear function that lies in between them, and is such not defined in the sequence.
This does not make the sequence and function unrelated, but rather it makes them not the same.
A similar argument applies for geometric sequences and exponential equations.
Answer:
$360
Step-by-step explanation:
The intial ratio of the sum shared between Khairul, Michael and Ethan is 6 : 4 : 5.
This would be 6x : 4x : 5x
Khairul gives $30 to Michael and $15.
The ratio is. Now;
(6x - 45) : (4x + 30) : (5x + 15)
We are told this is equal to the ratio 7:6:7
Thus;
((6x - 45) + (4x + 30))/(5x + 15) = (7 + 6)/7
(10x - 15)/(5x + 15) = 13/7
Factorize the left hand side;
5(2x - 3)/5(x + 3) = 13/7
5 will cancel out to get;
(2x - 3)/(x + 3) = 13/7
Cross multiply to get;
7(2x - 3) = 13(x + 3)
14x - 21 = 13x + 39
14x - 13x = 39 + 21
x = 60
Amount Khairul had initially was denoted as 6x.
Thus,6x = 5 × 60 = $360
We know that there are 16 oz(ounces) in one pound. So what we would do is we would divide. So 32 divided by 3 and that is your answer.
