Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Start by looking at the 'distance' (number of spaces) between 1 and 10

a = 1

l = 10

n of terms = 4

L_4 = 10

a = 1

Equation

L_4 = a + (n - 1)*d

10 = 1 + (4 - 1)*d

10 - 1 = 3d

9 = 3d

9/3 = d

d = 3

So the terms you get from 1 to 10

1  4   7 10

Discussion

But we actually started at 1, not -11. Let's fill in the 3 blanks leading up to 1

-11 ____ ____ ____ 1

a = - 11

t = 5

L= 1

1 = - 11 + (5 - 1) d

1 = -11 + 4d                Add 11

1+ 11 = 4d

12 = 4d

12/4 = d

d = 3

======================

Could we have done this more directly. Yes, we could have

a = - 11

t = 8       There are 8 terms in all.

L_8 = 10

L_9 = a + (n-1)d

10 = - 11 + (8-1)d

10+11 = 7d

21 = 7d

21/7 = d

d = 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the COMMON DIFFERENCE, subtract the 2nd term and the first term.

a1 = -4

a2 = -2

Let "d" representing the COMMON DIFFERENCE.

d = -2 -(-4)

d = -2 + 4

d = 2

ANSWER:

THE COMMON DIFFERENCE OF THIS SEQUENCE IS 2

The total cost of $4 sharpeners and $7 folders is $30.05. If the cost of a sharpener is $a, and a folder is $2.80 more expensive
raketka [301]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a = $0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of a sharpener is 'a', and the cost of a folder is $2.80 more, so is a+2.80. The total cost of 4 sharpeners and 7 folders is ...

  4a +7(a+2.80) = 30.05

  11a = 10.45 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 19.60

  a = 0.95 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 11

The cost of a sharpener is a = $0.95.
