That's how scales work. They show your weight which is actually your downward pull by the force of gravity.

Linda can bicycle 48 miles in the same time as it takes her to walk 12 miles. She can ride 9 mph faster than she can walk. How f

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$\frac{48}{r+9}=\frac{12}{r}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent Linda's walking rate.

We have been given that Linda can ride 9 mph faster than she can walk, so Linda's bike riding rate would be $t+9$ miles per hour.

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Rate}}$

We have been given that Linda can bicycle 48 miles in the same time as it takes her to walk 12 miles.

$\text{Time while riding}=\frac{48}{r+9}$

$\text{Time taken while walking}=\frac{12}{r}$

Since both times are equal, so we will get:

$\frac{48}{r+9}=\frac{12}{r}$

Therefore, the equation $\frac{48}{r+9}=\frac{12}{r}$ can be used to solve the rates for given problem.

Cross multiply:

$48r=12r+108$

$48r-12r=12r-12r+108$

$36r=108$

$\frac{36r}{36}=\frac{108}{36}$

$r=3$

Therefore, Linda's walking at a rate of 3 miles per hour.

Linda's bike riding rate would be $t+9\Rightarrow 3+9=12$ miles per hour.

Therefore, Linda's riding the bike at a rate of 12 miles per hour.

What is the nth term rule of the quadratic sequence below? 4,15,30,49,72,99,130,...

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The nth term rule of the quadratic sequence is $2n^{2} +5n-3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following quadratic sequence below;

4, 15, 30, 49, 72, 99, 130,...

As we know that the formula for the nth term of the quadratic sequence is given by = $an^{2}+bn+c$

Firstly, we will find the difference between the term of the given sequence;

1st difference of the given sequence;

(2nd term - 1st term), (3rd term - 2nd term), (4th term - 3rd term), (5th term - 4th term), (6th term - 5th term), (7th term - 6th term)

= (15 - 4), (30 - 15), (49 - 30), (72 - 49), (99 - 72), (130 - 99),....

= (11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31,.....)

Now, we will find the second difference of the given sequence, i.e;

= (15 - 11), (19 - 15), (23 - 19), (27 - 23), (31 - 27),....

= (4, 4, 4, 4, 4)

Since the differences are same now, so to find the value of a we have to divide the value of second difference by 2, i.e;

The value of a = $\dfrac{4}{2}$ = 2

SO, the first term of the nth term rule equation is $an^{2}$ = $2n^{2}$ .

Now, in the term $2n^{2}$ , put the value of n = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and then form the sequence, i.e;

If n = 1, then $2n^{2}$ = $2 \times (1)^{2}$ = 2

If n = 2, then $2n^{2}$ = $2 \times (2)^{2}$ = 8

If n = 3, then $2n^{2}$ = $2 \times (3)^{2}$ = 18

If n = 4, then $2n^{2}$ = $2 \times (4)^{2}$ = 32

If n = 5, then $2n^{2}$ = $2 \times (5)^{2}$ = 50

SO, the sequence formed is (2, 8, 18, 32, 50).

Now, find the difference of this sequence and the original quadratic sequence, i.e;

= (4 - 2), (15 - 8), (30 - 18), (49 - 32), (72 - 50)

= (2, 7, 12, 17, 22)

Now, as we can see that the above sequence resembles the general form of (5n - 3) because:

If we put n = 1, then (5n - 3) = 5 - 3 = 2

If we put n = 2, then (5n - 3) = 10 - 3 = 7 and so on....

From this, we concluded that the value of b and c are 5 and (-3) respectively.

Hence, the nth term rule for the given quadratic sequence is $2n^{2} +5n-3$ .
