Answer:

The n^{th} term of A.P sequence

tₙ = 9 n - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-

Given sequence

                   - 17 , -8 , 1 .......

first term   = -17

Second term =  - 8

The difference of first two terms

                        d = - 8 -(-17) = -8+17 = <em>9</em>

The difference of next two terms

                        d = 1 - (-8) = 1+8 =   9

∴ The given sequence is  in A.P ( Arthimetic progression)

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

The n^{th} term of A.P sequence

                t_{n}  = a + ( n-1 ) d

Given a = - 17 and  d = 9

                t_{n}  = -17 + ( n-1 ) 9 = - 17 + 9 n -9 = 9 n - 26

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

The n^{th} term of A.P sequence

tₙ = 9 n - 26

Qual a altura máxima atingida por um projétil cuja trajetória pode ser descrita pela função: h(x) = –4x² + 5, sabendo que h é a
masya89 [10]

Answer:

A altura máxima é 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Matematicamente, a altura máxima pode ser obtida

A altura máxima é simplesmente o vértice da parábola

Começamos diferenciando a função Isso será -8x

Agora, defina -8x como 0

Isso significa que x = 0

Agora, substitua x = 0 de volta na equação temos

f (0) = -4 (0) ^ 2 + 5

f (0) = 5

A altura máxima é 5

This problem can be readily solved if we are familiar with the point-slope form of straight lines:
y-y0=m(x-x0) ...................................(1)
where 
m=slope of line
(x0,y0) is a point through which the line passes.

We know that the line passes through A(3,-6), B(1,2)

All options have a slope of -4, so that should not be a problem.  In fact, if we check the slope=(yb-ya)/(xb-xa), we do find that the slope m=-4.

So we can check which line passes through which point:

a. y+6=-4(x-3)
Rearrange to the form of equation (1) above,
y-(-6)=-4(x-3)  means that line passes through A(3,-6) => ok

b. y-1=-4(x-2) means line passes through (2,1), which is neither A nor B
   ****** this equation is not the line passing through A & B *****

c. y=-4x+6  subtract 2 from both sides (to make the y-coordinate 2)
   y-2 = -4x+4, rearrange
   y-2 = -4(x-1)  
   which means that it passes through B(1,2), so ok

d. y-2=-4(x-1)
   this is the same as the previous equation, so it passes through B(1,2), 
   this equation is ok.

Answer: the equation y-1=-4(x-2) does NOT pass through both A and B.

Jason ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 of an hour. How far can jason run in one hour
pogonyaev

Answer:

6 7/8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

2 3/4 ÷ 2/5

change mixed number into improper fraction; 2 3/4 = 11/4

when dividing fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction

11/4 ÷ 2/5  =  11/4 · 5/2  =  55/8 or 6 7/8 mph
