Sphinxa [80]3 years ago

Answer:

The 75th term of the arithmetic sequence -17, -13, -9.... is:

a_{75}=279

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

-17, -13, -9....

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by  

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

computing the differences of all the adjacent terms

-13-\left(-17\right)=4,\:\quad \:-9-\left(-13\right)=4

The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

d=4

The first element of the sequence is:

a_1=-17

now substitute d=4 and a_1=-17 in the nth term of the sequence

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

a_n=4\left(n-1\right)-17

a_n=4n-21

Now, substitute n = 75 in the a_n=4n-21 sequence to determine the 75th sequence

a_n=4n-21

a_{75}=4\left(75\right)-21

a_{75}=300-21

a_{75}=279

Therefore,  the 75th term of the arithmetic sequence -17, -13, -9.... is:

a_{75}=279

Line JK passes through points J(–4, –5) and K(–6, 3). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b
4vir4ik [10]
The value of "b" is the y-intercept.

In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
   ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6   (simplify)--->   m= -4

2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
   ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)

3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.

If 2 inches equal 40 miles, 4 inches would equal 80. You don’t have to do anything else because you can eliminate all the other answers. The only one it could be is B. 82.5 miles.

Serial numbers for a product are to be made using 3 letters followed by 4 digits. The letters are to be taken from the first let
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

30,240 ways,  if I am restricted to using A, B, and C for letters

Step-by-step explanation:

This uses Combinatorics from Discrete Math.

so.

3 letters  and 4 digits.

26 letters from alphabet, but you want to choose first letters.  no repeats...

Does this mean only letters A, B, and C ?

digits from 10 digits...

I imagine  7 empty slots , and the number of ways they occur together is by the product of the number of choices each box has.

3*2*1  *  10*9*8*7 = 6  * 5040  = 30,240 ways
