Answer:

tn = -1350 + 468n

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the difference.

1458 - 54 / 6 - 3

= 468

Now we need to find the first term.

t3 = t1 + (n - 1) (d)

54 = t1 + (3 - 1)(468)

54 = t1 + (2)(468)

54 = t1 + 936

-882 = t1

The rule is:

tn = -882 + (n-1) (468)

tn = -882 + 468n - 468

tn = -1350 + 468n

Q7Which statement is incorrect for the graph of thefunction y = -5 cosGcos( 3 (x – 3)) +62The period is 4.The amplitude is 3.The

guajiro [1.7K]

The given function is,

$y=-5\cos (\frac{\pi}{2}(x-3))+6$

The graph can be drawn as,

The period will be distance between two consequetive maximas,

$\text{Period}=1-(-3)=4$

Thus, period is correct.

The amplitude can be determined as,

$\begin{gathered} Amplitude=\frac{\max -\min }{2} \\ =\frac{11-1}{2} \\ =5 \end{gathered}$

Thus, amplitue is incorrect.

The range is,

$y\in\lbrack1,11\rbrack$

Thus, the range is correct.

The midline is,

$\begin{gathered} \text{midline}=\frac{\max +\min }{2} \\ =\frac{1+11}{2} \\ =6 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the midline is correct.

Thus, option (b) is the solution.

Are both 7 and -½ integers? why or why not?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

No. (-1/2) is not an integer

Integers involve all the no. +ve and -ve. which can be written without fraction. ie whole no. are counted as integers.

(-1/2) is a fraction

Lynna [10]

Answer:

12x + 18y + 6z + 4x - 4z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression : 3(4x + 6y + 2z) + 4(x – z)

To eliminate the parenthesis ; we use the distributive property :

3(4x + 6y + 2z) + 4(x – z) becomes ;

3*4x + 3*6y + 3*2z + 4*x + 4*-z

12x + 18y + 6z + 4x - 4z

Hence,

12x + 4x + 18y + 6z - 4z

16x + 18y + 2z
