Answer:

an=8n−14

Step-by-step explanation:

for an AP

where

a

1

=

the first term

d

=

the common difference

then we have

a

,

(

a

+

d

)

,

(

a

+

2

d

)

,

...

,

a

1

(

(

n

−

.

we are given the third term

10

=

a

1

+

2

d

−

−

(

and the fifth term

26

=

a

+

4

d

−

−

(

subtract

(

)

−

(

16

=

d

⇒

d

=

sub into

(

)

10

=

a

⇒

a

so the nth term

The function c(x) = 18x -10 represents the cost in dollars. How many tickets can you buy?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<em>Note: It seems you may have unintentionally missed writing the complete question. As total cost is missing.</em>

<em>So, I am assuming how many tickets Mr. XYZ can buy if he/she pays 530 dollars.</em>

<em>The solution would still clear your concept though.</em>

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

c(x) = 18x -10

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

so

 c(x) = 18x - 10

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

  • rate of change = 18
  • c(x) or y represents the cost
  • 'x' represents the number of tickets

Assuming the total cost i.e. c(x) = $530

In order to determine the value of x, set c(x) = 530

i.e.

530 = 18x -10

switch sides

18x - 10 = 530

add 10 to both sides

18x - 10 + 10 = 530 + 10

18x = 540

Divide 18 to both sides

18x/18 = 540/18

x = 30

Therefore, if you can buy x = 30 tickets if you pay 530 dollars.

DESPERATE WILL GIVE BRAINLIST AND THANKS
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: Positive

Step-by-step explanation:

A scatter plot for speed and distance is created.

We know that distance = speed x time

Hence when speed increases , distance increases and similarly when speed decreases, distance decreases.

Thus if we plot on x axis distance, we find that x increases when y increases.

So we find that there is a strong positive relationship between the two variable

D=tS

where D= distance S=speed and T=time.

Since D varies directly as speed, we have positive relationship.

Hope this helps! :)

How does paying off the balance monthly help a credit card user avoid finance charges?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Credit cards allows us to make purchases today and pay for them later. If it takes us longer than a month to pay off our balance then we will have to pay an extra fee in the form of a finance charge.

Since finance charges is the way of charging us by the credit card issuing authority for carrying a balance on our credit card and not paying it off completely at the end of each month.

Thus, the simple way to avoid finance charges is to not carry a balance and this can be done by paying off the carrying amount on the credit card at the end of each month.
