Hey there!

Your answer is 3(14 + x)

"Three times the" represents multiplying by 3. "the sum of 14 and a number (x)" represents 14 + x, therefore we get 3(14 + x).

Have a terrificly amazing day! :D

What is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence graphed below?

galben [10]

I think it’s -0.75. The x coordinate represents the term number so y would show the pattern which is -3.75, -4.5, -5.25, -6, -6.75, -7.5, -8.25, -9. To get to the next number, each term is being decreased by 0.75. Hope this helps :)

A ball is thrown in the air from a height of 3 m with an initial velocity of 12 m/s. To the nearest tenth of a second, how long

stepladder [879]

Answer: 1.4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is: h(t) = at² + v₀t + h₀ where

a is the acceleration (in this case it is gravity)
v₀ is the initial velocity
h₀ is the initial height

Given:

a = -9.81 (if it wasn't given in your textbook, you can look it up)
v₀ = 12
h₀ = 3

Since we are trying to find out when it lands on the ground, h(t) = 0

EQUATION: 0 = 9.81t² + 12t + 3

Use the quadratic equation to find the x-intercepts

a=-9.81, b=12, c=3

$x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-(12)\pm \sqrt{(12)^2-4(-9.81)(3)}}{2(-9.81)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12\pm 16.2}{-19.62}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+ 16.2}{-19.62}=-0.2\qquad x=\dfrac{-12- 16.2}{-19.62}=\large\boxed{1.4}\\$

Note: Negative time (-0.2) is not valid

Work out the formula of the nth term in the following quadratic sequence: 19, 15, 9, 1...

Butoxors [25]

In a quadratic sequence we'll get a linear first difference and a constant second difference. Let's verify that.

n 1 2 3 4

f(n) 19 15 9 1

1st diff -4 -6 -8

2nd diff 2 2

We see that we got a constant second difference. We could just extend that and work back up to get more values.

n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

f(n) 19 15 9 1 -9 -21 -35

1st diff -4 -6 -8 -10 -12 -14

2nd diff 2 2 2 2 2

That's just an aside; we're after the general formula. We have

f(1)=19, f(2)=15, f(3)=9

In general we can assume

f(n) = an² + bn + c

We get three equations in three unknowns,

19 = a(1²)+b(1)+c = a+b+c

15 = a(2²) + b(2) + c = 4a + 2b + c

9 = a(3²) + b(3) + c = 9a + 3b + c

That's a 3x3 linear system; it's easy to solve directly. Subtracting pairs,

4 = -3a - b

6 = -5a - b

Subtracting those,

-2 = 2a

a = -1

b = -3a -4 = -1

c = 19-a-b = 21

Answer: f(n) = -n² - n + 21

Check:

f(1) = -1 - 1 + 21 = 19, good

f(2) = -4 - 2 + 21 = 15, good

f(3) = -9 - 3 + 21 = 9, good

f(4) = -16 - 4 + 21 = 1, good

Let's check our extended table, how about

f(7)= -49 - 7 + 21 = -35, good

The larger of two numbers is four more than the smaller number.If the sum of the numbers is 61,find the numbers

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

28.5 and 32.5

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation to solve:

x + (x+4) =61

2x + 4 = 61 combine like terms

2x = 57 subtract 4 from both sides

x = 28.5 divide 2 from both sides

28.5 is the smaller number

the larger number is 4 more so:

28.5 + 4 = 32.5

32.5 is the larger number

check your work:

28.5 + 32.5 = 61
