Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sequence :
23, 19, 13, 5, -5.......
From the sequence, the common difference is unequal, as their is a constant Increment in the difference after successive numbers.
19 - 23 = -4
13 - 19 = -6
5 - 13 = -8
-5 - 5= -10
Hence an constant difference of - 2 after each successive difference.
Hence, this is a quadratic sequence
With the formula
an² + bn + c
First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21.
x - 5 = 21 ; x = 26
Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.
The two numbers that add to make twenty and have a difference of 4 are 12 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
General line equation: y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.
We have y = ax + b.
=> y - b = ax
=> y - b = a(x - 0).
The answer is option A.
