2 of 5 What is the nth term rule of the linear sequence below? -9,-5, -1,3,7,... Tn=
1 answer:
Answer:
= 4n - 13
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference d between consecutive terms , that is
d = - 5 - (- 9) = - 1 - (- 5) = 3 - 1 = 7 - 3 = 4
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 9 and d = 4, thus
= - 9 + 4(n - 1) = - 9 + 4n - 4 = 4n - 13

Answer:
y = and x =
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve simultaneous equations, you need to have the number in front of both x's or y's the same. (signs doesn't matter)
To get -x to -10x we simply need to multiply the first equation by 10:
-x * 10 = -10x
-9y * 10 = -90y
16 * 10 = 160
-10x - 90y = 160
Now we can add the two equations:
-10x + 10x = 0
-90y + 20y = -70y
160 + 20 = 180
-70y = 180
70y = -180
7y = -18
y =
Now plug into the second equation:
10x + 20() = 20
10x - = 20
Move the over to the other side, making it a positive:
10x = 20 +
10x =
Divide both sides by 10:
x =
So y = and x =

Answer:
- h = -16t^2 + 73t + 5
- h = -16t^2 + 5
- h = -4.9t^2 + 73t + 1.5
- h = -4.9t^2 + 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation we use for ballistic motion is ...
where g is the acceleration due to gravity, v₀ is the initial upward velocity, and h₀ is the initial height.
The values of g commonly used are -32 ft/s², or -4.9 m/s². Units are consistent when the former is used with velocity in ft/s and height in feet. The latter is used when velocity is in m/s, and height is in meters.

Dwayne throws a ball with an initial velocity of 73 feet/second. Dwayne holds the ball 5 feet off the ground before throwing it. (h = -16t^2 + 73t + 5)
A watermelon falls from a height of 5 feet to splatter on the ground below. (h = -16t^2 + 5)
Marcella shoots a foam dart at a target. She holds the dart gun 1.5 meters off the ground before firing. The dart leaves the gun traveling 73 meters/second. (h = -4.9t^2 + 73t + 1.5)
Greg drops a life raft off the side of a boat 1.5 meters above the water. (h = -4.9t^2 + 1.5)

<em>Additional comment on these scenarios</em>
The dart and ball are described as being launched at 73 units per second. Generally, we expect launches of these kinds of objects to have a significant horizontal component. However, these equations are only for <em>vertical</em> motion, so we must assume the launches are <em>straight up</em> (or that the up-directed component of motion is 73 units/second).
