The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

Answer: The number is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

The nth term of a different sequence is 30–n²

We want to find a number that belongs to both sequences (it is not necessarily for the same value of n) then we can use n in one term (first one), and m in the other (second one), such that n and m must be integer numbers.

we get:

3n²- 1 =  30–m²

Notice that as n increases, the terms of the first sequence also increase.

And as n increases, the terms of the second sequence decrease.

One way to solve this, is to give different values to m (m = 1, m = 2, etc) and see if we can find an integer value for n.

if m = 1, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–1²

3n²- 1 = 29

3n² = 30

n² = 30/3 = 10

n² = 10

There is no integer n such that n² = 10

now let's try with m = 2, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–2² = 30 - 4

3n²- 1 = 26

3n² = 26 + 1 = 27

n² = 27/3 = 9

n² = 9

n = √9 = 3

So here we have m = 2, and n = 3, both integers as we wanted, so we just found the term that belongs to both sequences.

the number is:

3*(3)² - 1 = 26

30 - 2² = 26

The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.

A store is selling five cans of tomato sauce for $5.25. What is the unit price?
Svetach [21]
The unit price is tantamount to saying the price of each. For this item, we are asked to determine the price of each can. Thus, it can be determined by dividing the price to number of cans.
                           $5.25 / 5 = 1.05
Thus, each can of tomato sauce costs $1.05.

In a math class with 29 students, a test was given the same day that an assignment was due. There were 22 students who passed th
Phoenix [80]

4/29 is the probability that a student who did not complete the homework passed the test.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that,

There are 29 students in a math class.

Two types of students who passed the test and are not passed the test.

The other two types of students are who completed the assignment and did not complete the assignment.

So, the given data can be formed as a table.

  • There were 22 students who passed the test.
  • There were 20 students who completed the assignment.
  • There were 18 students who passed the test and also completed the assignment.

                                         Passed the test     Not passed the test    Total

Completed assignment        18                             -                             20

Not completed assignment   x                             -                                -

Total                                       22                           -                               29

Now, you need to find the probability that a student who did not complete the homework passed the test.

⇒ No.of students completed assignment passed the test / Total students.

<u>To find the no.of students completed assignment passed the test :</u>

Let 'x' is the no.of students completed assignment passed the test.

⇒ 18+x = 22

⇒ x = 22 - 18

⇒ x = 4

∴ P(students completed assignment passed the test) = 4 / 29.
