Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is expressed as;

Tn = a+(n-1)d

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

Sixth term

T6 = a+(6-1)d

T6 = a+5d

Third term;

T3 = a+(3-1)d

T3 = a+2d

If the sixth term of an AP is twice the 3rd term, then

a+5d = 2(a+2d)

a+5d = 2a+4d

Given a = 3

3+5d = 2(3)+4d

5d-4d = 6-3

d = 3

Common difference is 3

For the 10th term

T10 = a+9d

T10 = 3+9(3)

T10 = 3+27

T10 = 30

Hence the tenth term is 30

Alex Ar [27]

For the answer to the question above,
<span>V(n) = a * b^n, where V(n) shows the value of boat after n years.
V(0) = 3500
V(2) = 2000

n = 0
V(0) = a * b^0 = 3500
a = 3500

V(2) = a * b^2
2000 = 3500 * b^2
b = sqrt (2000/3500)
b ≈ 0.76

V(n) = 3500 * 0.76^n

We can check it for n = 1 which is close to 2500 in the graph:
V(1) = 3500 * (0.76)^1
V(1) = 2660

And in the graph we have V(3) ≈ 1500,
V(n) = 3500 * (0.76)^3 ≈ 1536

Now n = 9.5
V(9.5) = 3500 * (0.76)^(9.5)
V(9.5) ≈ 258</span>

X^2-6x-4=0,

Rzqust [24]

Use quadratic formula since we can't factor

for 0=ax²+bx+c
$x= \frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

so, for
0=1x²-6x-4
a=1
b=-6
c=-4

$x= \frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(1)(-4)}}{2(1)}$
$x= \frac{6+/-\sqrt{36+16}}{2}$
$x= \frac{6+/-\sqrt{52}}{2}$
$x= \frac{6+/-2\sqrt{13}}{2}$
$x= 3+/-\sqrt{13}$

the solutions are x=3+√13 and x=3-√13
or aprox
x≈6.61 and x≈-0.61
