Answer:

c. 2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

factor the 4 into the parenthesis. To do this you multiply 4 by x and then -3. This will give you 4x-12-2x+9. combine like terms and you get 2x-3

Find the 13th term of the arithmetic sequence -3x – 1,42 + 4,112 + 9, ...

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The 13th term is 81x + 59.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the arithmetic sequence:

$\displaystle -3x -1, \, 4x +4, \, 11x + 9 \dots$

And we want to find the 13th term.

Recall that for an arithmetic sequence, each subsequent term only differ by a common difference d. In other words:

$\displaystyle \underbrace{-3x - 1}_{x_1} + d = \underbrace{4x + 4} _ {x_2}$

Find the common difference by subtracting the first term from the second:

$d = (4x+4) - (-3x - 1)$

Distribute:

$d = (4x + 4) + (3x + 1)$

Combine like terms. Hence:

$d = 7x + 5$

The common difference is (7x + 5).

To find the 13th term, we can write a direct formula. The direct formula for an arithmetic sequence has the form:

$\displaystyle x_n = a + d(n-1)$

Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference.

The initial term is (-3x - 1) and the common difference is (7x + 5). Hence:

$\displaystyle x_n = (-3x - 1) + (7x+5)(n-1)$

To find the 13th term, let n = 13. Hence:

$\displaystyle x_{13} = (-3x - 1) + (7x + 5)((13)-1)$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}x_{13} &= (-3x-1) + (7x+5)(12) \\ &= (-3x - 1) +(84x + 60) \\ &= 81x + 59 \end{aligned}$

The 13th term is 81x + 59.

What is the math term for you taking parentheses away?

TEA [102]

You might be thinking of "distribution" or "distributive property"

Example:

2(3x+5) = 2*3x+2*5 = 6x+10

I multiplied the outer 2 by each term inside (3x and 5)

Which shows how to best estimate the product of 4.73 x 8.92?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

5 x 9 = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to estimate this would be rounding to the nearest whole number.

First we'll look at 4.73. If we're rounding to the nearest whole number, then that means we'll look at the digit one place to the right of 4. The digit to the right of 4 is 7. 7 is greater than 5 so we round up. We get 5. If we do the same for the other number we see that it also gets rounded up to 9. So our new equation is: 5 x 9. That is a simple multiplication equation and when we multiply we get 45.

Hope this helped!
