Arithmetic Sequences Continued

Mathematics
1 answer:
Angelina_Jolie [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The common difference is 4

5, 9, 13, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5, _, _, 17

Solving (a): The common difference

Since it is an arithmetic sequence, the common difference can be solved using:

T_n = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a = 5

T_n = 17

n = 4 i.e. 4 terms

So:

T_n = a + (n - 1)d

17 = 5 +(4 - 1) * d

17 = 5 +3d

Collect like terms

3d = 17 - 5

3d = 12

d  =4

<em>Hence, the common difference is 4</em>

Solving (b): Complete the blanks.

To do this, we simply add 4 to each successive terms.

So: 5, 9, 13, 17

Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.<br> (0,8) and (- 4,0)
Ronch [10]

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 0)

m = \frac{0-8}{-4-0} = \frac{-8}{-4} = 2

Where does the circumference of each kind of triangle lie? Question 1 options: Inside the triangle. Outside the triangle. On the
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Inside the triangle - Acute Triangle

Outside the triangle - Obtuse Triangle

On the hypotenuse - Right Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>circumcenter</u> is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect.

In the special case of a right triangle, the circumcenter lies exactly at the midpoint of the hypotenuse.

The circumcenter of an acute triangle lies inside the triangle.

The circumcenter of an obtuse triangle lies outside the triangle.

A company ships packages through the postal service. One week, the cost of shipping one
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, it says that the company not only shipped packages, but also bought a number of stamps. From the equation 6.70+0.50x, it's fairly easy to say that 6.70 is the packages,

What's not so easy is figuring out whether or not 0.50 is the stamps, or x is. However, there's an easy way to figure it out!

From this one, we would have to use "common sense" (not my words, someone elses). Using "common sense", we have to think, can someone buy 0.50 of a stamp?

Technically yes... But would someone buy 0.5 of a stamp? Not really.

So we can safetly assume that x is the "stamp", and 0.50 is <em>the cost of the stamp</em>.

Hope this helps!
