Answer:
a) the common difference is 20
b) 
c) the common difference is -13
d) 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) what is the common difference of the sequence xn
Looking at the table, we get x_3=16, x_4=36 and x_5= 56
Deterring the common difference by subtracting x_4 from x_3 we get
36-16 =20
So, the common difference is 20
b) what is x_8? what is x_12
The formula used is: 
We know common difference d= 20, we need to find 
Using
we can find 

So, We have 
Now finding 

So, 
Now finding 

So, 
c) what is the common difference of the sequence 
Looking at the table, we get a_7=104, a_8=91 and a_9= 78
Deterring the common difference by subtracting a_7 from a_8 we get
91-104 =-13
So, the common difference is -13
d) what is a_12? what is a_15?
The formula used is: 
We know common difference d= -13, we need to find 
Using
we can find 

So, We have 
Now finding
, put n=12

So, 
Now finding
, put n=15

So, 
350 / 28 = 12.5 gallons, so 13 gallons needed
13 X 2.5 = $32.50
Answer:
1. X = 14
2.X =13
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles are 90 degrees. I did math to check if the x values are correct and they are.
Answer:
√161 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We're given a right triangle (notice the right angle), the measure of one of the legs (one of the sides that make up the right angle) as 8 yd, and the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) as 15 yd.
We need to find x, which is the other leg in the triangle
If we are given 2 sides and need to find a third, we can use Pythagorean Theorem, which states that a²+b²=c² if a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse
In this case, a=8, b=x, and c=15
So let's substitute those values into the formula
(8)²+x²=(15)²
raise everything to the second power
64+x²=225
subtract 64 from both sides
x²=161
take the square root of both x and 161
x=√161, x=-√161
-√161 cannot work in this case, as distance cannot be negative.
The question asks for the answer to be in simplified radical form, but √161 cannot be simplified down further
so the answer is <u>√161 yd</u>
Hope this helps! :)
First, you need to get the denominators (the bottom number) the same. The smallest number to get them to is 15.
So, what you need to do is take 2/5 and multiply the bottom by 3 to get 15, and since you did it to the bottom, you need to do it to the top too. So you would get, 6/15.
Then, for 1/3, take the bottom number and multiply it by 5. Then, since you did it to the bottom, do it to the top as well. You would get 5/15.
Then, you need to put them side by side. You don't add the bottom, so your denominator would remain 15, but your numerator (top) would get added.
<u> 6</u> + <u>5</u> = <u>11</u>
15 15 15
