First term is -7, so a_1 = -7
To get the next term, we add on 4. We can see this if we subtract like so
d = (2nd term) - (1st term) = (-3) - (-7) = -3+7 = 4
So d = 4 is the common difference.
Apply a_1 = -7 and d = 4 to get...
a_n = a_1 + d*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + 4*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + (n-1)*4
Answer: Choice A
Now, there are 365 (excluding leap years) in a year, so, 275 days is not even a year, but is 275/365 of a year, or 55/73 of a year.
Answer:
Part A: He spends an average of $8.50 per day
Part B: He would save $17 per week
Step-by-step explanation:
Exact Area = 98pi
Approximate Area = 307.8760800518 (use calculator stored version of pi)
Approximate Area = 307.72 (using pi = 3.14)
Units are in square millimeters
======================================================
Explanation:
In 60 seconds, the hand sweeps out a full circle of radius 14. The area of this circle is
A = pi*r^2 = pi*14^2 = 196pi
Half of this is what the hand sweeps out in 30 seconds, so A/2 = (196pi)/2 = 98pi is the exact area it sweeps out. Your calculator would then show 98pi = 307.8760800518 approximately
If instead you use pi = 3.14, then the approximate area is 98*3.14 = 307.72
