* The nth term of sequence A is 3n − 2 The nth term of sequence B is 10 − 2n Sally says there is only one number that is in both
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Sally is not right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two sequences which have their respective n^{th} terms as following:

Sequence A. 3n - 2

Sequence B. 10 - 2n

As per Sally, there exists only one number which is in both the sequences.

To find:

Whether Sally is correct or not.

Solution:

For Sally to be correct, we need to put the n^{th} terms of the respective sequences as equal and let us verify that.

3n-2=10-2n\\\Rightarrow 3n+2n=10+2\\\Rightarrow 5n=12\\\Rightarrow n = \dfrac{12}{5}

When we talk about n^{th} terms, n here is a whole number not a fractional number.

But as per the statement as stated by Sally n is a fractional number, only then the two sequences can have a number which is in the both sequences.

Therefore, no number can be in both the sequences A and B.

Hence, Sally is not right.

The difference between a number divided by 3 and 4 is 20
Rzqust [24]
Set the number to x.

\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{4}=20
\frac{4x}{12}-\frac{3x}{12}=20
\frac{x}{12}=20
x=240

Thus, the number is 240.

Write an equation for the line perpendicular to y=1/3x-2 and passing through the point (3,3)
maria [59]

line given slope = x coefficient = 1/3

Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

line slope (m) = -3

line equation formula = y = mx + b

y = -3x + b

from the point given

x = 3

y= 3

3 = -9 + b

b = 12

y = -3x + 12
