Answer:
nth term = 1 1/2n -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The arithmetic sequence formula is:
a
n
=
a
1
+
(
n
–
1
)
d
Where:
a
n
is the nth term in the sequence
a
1
is the first term in the sequence
n
is the term you are solving for
d
is the common difference for any pair of consecutive numbers in the sequence.
First Term or
n
=
1
:
This is given in the problem.
a
1 = 9
Second Term or
n
=
2
:
Substitute
2 for n
in the formula and substitute the values from the problem giving:
a
2
=
9
+
(
(
2
–
1
)
×
-2
)
a
2
=
9
+
(
1
×
-2
)
a
2
=
9
+-2
a
2
=
7
Fifth Term or n
=
5
:
Substitute in the formula and substitute the values from the problem giving:
a
5
=
9+
(
(
5–
1
)
×
-2
)
a
5
=
9
+
(
4
×
-2
)
a
2
=
9
+
-8
a
2
= 1
Using this same process you should be able to determiner the
Third Term or n
=
3
: and Fourth Term or n
=
4
:
I would say C: -2 because 2 sides have to match and one side has to be either smaller or bigger than the other 2 sides
round too? hundreds? thousand? ones? where do we round too? i need to know so i can help you :)
Answer:
Week=25 Hours
Weekend= 5 Hours
Step-by-step explanation:
So we need to use the info they gave us and create two equations. Firstly we know how much he gets paid per hour during the week (x) and how much he gets paid on the weekend (y).
$20x+$30y=$650
We get this because we know the combined rates he is paid times the hours should add up to the amount he earned.
The next equation will be made off of the information that he worked 5 times as many hours during the week as on the weekend. This tells us that we will take the weekend hours (y) and multiply them by 5 in order to get the week hours (x).
x=5y Now, since we have one variable by itself, we can plug it in for x in the first equation.
20(5y)+30y=650 Our first step here is to distribute the 20 to the 5y in order to eliminate the parenthesis.
100y+30y=650 Next add the like terms together (100y+30y).
Now all we have to do to find y is divide by 130 on both sides to get y alone.
130y=650
________
130 130
y=5 Now to solve for x we just plug our y value into one of the equations above. I'm going to use the second equation.
x=5(5)
x=25
The area is 289.22 units squared
