Answer: B, C, E
-------
The difference between consecutive terms (numbers that come after each other) in arithmetic sequences is the same. That means you add the same number every time to get the next number. To figure out which choices are arithmetic sequences, just see if the differences are the same.
Choice A) 1, -2, 3, -4, 5, ...
-2 - 1 = -3
3 - (-2) = 5
The difference is not constant, so it is not an arithmetic sequence.
Choice B) 12,345, 12,346, 12,347, 12,348, 12,349, ...
12,346 - 12,345 = 1
12,347 - 12,346 = 1
The difference is constant, so it is an arithmetic sequence.
Choice C) <span>154, 171, 188, 205, 222, ...
171 - 154 = 17
188 - 171 = 17
The difference is constant, so it is an arithmetic sequence.
Choice D) </span><span>1, 8, 16, 24, 32, ...
8 - 1 = 7
16 - 8 = 8
</span>The difference is not constant, so it is not an arithmetic sequence.
Choice E) <span>-3, -10, -17, -24, -31, ...
-10 - (-3) = -7
-17 - (-10) = -7
</span>The difference is constant, so it is an arithmetic sequence.
Answer:
260 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
An estimate of 26.5% of the water used each day is for cleaning and a family uses 68.9 gallons of water a day for cleaning,
Percentage of water used for cleaning= 26.5%
Gallons of water used for cleaning= 68.9
Let the number of gallons used everyday be represented by g. This will give:
26.5% of g = 68.9
26.5/100 × g = 68.9
0.265 × g = 68.9
0.265g = 68.9
Divide both side by 0.265
0.265g/0.265 = 68.9/0.265
g= 260
260 gallons of water are used everyday
The area of a square is
(length of a side) times (length of a side) .
So if you want to know the length of the side,
you have to find a number that gives you 81
when you multiply the number by itself.
That's called the "square root" of 81 .
Each side of your square is 9 units long.
L x W = 105
L + W = 26 so L = 26 - W
substitute L = 26 - W into L x W = 105
(26 - W) x W = 105
26W - W^2 = 105
W^2 - 26W + 105 = 0
(W - 21)(W - 5) = 0
W - 21 = 0; W = 21
W - 5 = 0; W = 5
The the dimensions of the rectangle are 5 ft and 21 ft.
Double check:
The sum of the length and the width is 26 feet: 21 + 5 = 26 feet
A rectangle has an area of 105 square feet: 21 x 5 = 105 square feet
