The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is found from:
Plugging in the given values, we get for the 13th term:
-58=14+12d
12d =-58 - 14 = -72
d = -6
So, the 32nd term is:
Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
thus
set the derivative to 0, and check the critical points, there's only one anyway
and do a first-derivative test, to see if it's a maximum
The answer is, 4 + 8 + 12 + 16 ... rule is 4n.
Explanation:
one square has 4 toothpicks, then you added 4 picks (because you started with zero squares).
4 squares have 12 toothpicks, then you added 8 toothpicks to pass from one square to 4 squeres.
If you follow that reasoing you get to realize that the additions are 4, 8, 12, 16.
Answer:
40.96
Step-by-step explanation:
x/10.24=4
times 10.24 on both sides
10.24 times 4
x=40.96
0.5 cups of cheese
Amy: 1.6 divided by 8 = 0.2 cups of cheese per serving
Sarah: 2.5 divided by 10 = 0.25 cups of cheese per serving
0.25 - 0.2 = 0.5
