Answer:
a. S = 3n + 2
b. There while be 62 squares.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the first term of this sequence is 5. To figure out the equation, subtract the following term from the previous. Do you see a common difference?
8 - 5 = 3
11 - 8 = 3
14 - 11 = 3
We're seeing a constant difference of 3 (which makes this an arithmetic sequence), but the first term is 5. That mean something is being added to make the first term 5. Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2. This means 2 is being added to every multiple of 3, which leads us to the equation: S = 3n + 2.
To find the 20th term of this sequence, substitute n for 20 and do the operations.
S = 3(20) + 2
<em>Multiply 3 by 20, then add 2.</em>
S = 62
The 20th term will have 62 squares.
If we use the rules we say that <span>when we multiply two numbers we get the result in the numbers the least significant number has in the multiplication. So we may proceed like this:</span>
67.6 x 1.2 = 81.12
<span>As the decimal part does not continue indefinitely we can leave the answer as it is.</span><span> if the answer was 81.123612356213 then we leave it like </span><span>81.1 as the rules say</span>
3 + 1.75m
This represents 1.75 per mile plus a one time 3 charge.
Another way this can be written is
(1.75m + 6) - 3
This is a less efficient way, but represents the same. It is 1.75 per mile, this is plus 6, therefore we add the -3 outside the parenthesis so it evens out to +3 as the base charge.
Example: Lets say its 3 miles.
3 + 1.75 (3) = 8.25
(1.75 (3) + 6) - 3 = 8.25
Okay. Since we know that the customer before them bought one of each type of bulb, we can subtract one bulb from each type so now, here is what the store has:
5 amaryllis
6 daffodils
3 lilies
2 tulips
Next, let’s find the probability of the customer picking an amaryllis.
We know there are 5 amaryllis, so we can put that as the numerator.
Next, we have to add up all the flowers to get the denominator.
5+6+3+2
I got 16.
So now we have 5/16
So, that is our answer! 5/16, or as a decimal 0.3125, or as a percentage 31.25%.
Hope this helps! Comment if you have any questions! :)
