You were right already it’s A
Yes,because that is $3.03 higher than what he is receving right now so that will be an accelent option:)
An = a1 + (n - 1)(d)
Where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.
First find d, the common difference.
24, ____, 32
a3 a4 a5
Subtract 32-24 = 8
Subtract a5 - a3 = 2
Divide 8/2 = 4
d = 4
Use d and one of the values they give us to find a1.
a3 = 24
24 = a1 + (3 - 1)(4)
24 = a1 + 2(4)
24 = a1 + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides
16 = a1
an = 16 + (n - 1)(4)
Can also be written
an = 16 + 4n - 4
an = 4n + 12
Number of seats = 42
Seats per row x row = 1302
s x r = 1302
rows + 11 = seats per row
r + 11 = s
s x r = 1302
(r + 11) x r = 1302
r^2 + 11r = 1302
r^2 + 11r - 1302 = 0
(r + 42) x (r - 31) = 0
r = -43 or 31
Cannot have negative rows so the number of rows is 31, and the number of seats per row is 31 + 11 = 42
Check: 31 x 42 = 1302 :)
