Problem 1

<h3>Answer: Arithmetic, common difference = -4</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

Pick any term of the sequence, and subtract off the previous term to find that,

  • term2 - term1 = -12 - (-8) = -12 + 8 = -4
  • term3 - term2 = -16 - (-12) = -16 + 12 = -4
  • term4 - term3 = -20 - (-16) = -20 + 16 = -4

Each time we get the same result, so that means we have an arithmetic sequence with common difference -4

This indicates that adding -4 to each term, or subtracting 4 from each term, will generate the next one.

Eg: term2 = term1 - 4 = -8-4 = -12.

==========================================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: Arithmetic, common difference = 5</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

Similar to problem 1, this sequence is also arithmetic because we add on 5 to each term to get the next one

  • -6+5 = -1
  • -1+5 = 4
  • 4+5 = 9

Or you could subtract adjacent terms as done in problem 1, to find that the common difference is 5.

==========================================================

Problem 3

<h3>Answer: Not arithmetic</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

Unlike the previous two problems, this sequence is not arithmetic.

We can see that

  • term2 - term1 = 12 - 3 = 9
  • term3 - term2 = 48 - 12 = 36

The gaps of 9 and 36 aren't the same. We need the same common difference between any adjacent terms to have an arithmetic sequence.

This sequence is instead geometric because

  • term2/term1 = 12/3 = 4
  • term3/term2 = 48/12 = 4
  • term4/term3 = 192/48 = 4

Each quotient is 4, showing the common ratio is 4. To find the next term, we multiply the current term by 4. So the next term after 192 would be 4*192 = 768, then 4*768 = 3072 is next, and so on.

B. MRS + mST = MRT Q R. S​
babunello [35]

Answer:

MRS is the demand side of equation while MRT is for the supply side.

MRS defines how much a consumer is willing to give up of good X for 1 additional unit of good Y to stay on the same utility level. It is shown by indifference curve. MRS = Price of X/ Price of Y

Similarly, MRT is how much a supplier is willing to give up producing good X for 1 additional unit of good Y. It is shown by Production Possibility Frontier. MRT = MC of X/ MC of Y

A charter airline finds that on its Saturday flights from Philadelphia to London, all 120 seats will be sold if the ticket price
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a) P=3(120-s)+200

b) 215 \leq P \leq 290

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use a linear model to solve the problem.

s) Create an equation to express the increase on the price tickets and the number of seats sold

s number of seats, if w analyze the info given the number of seats after increase the price is given by 120-s.

And let P the price for the ticket. So after the increase in ticket price the expression for the increase is P-200.

We have an additional info, for each increase of $3 the number of setas decrease 1. And the equation that gives to us the price change in terms of the increase of price is:

P-200=3(120-s)

So then our linear equation is given by:

P=3(120-s)+200

b) Over a certain period, the number of seats sold for this flight ranged between 90 and 115. What was the corresponding range of ticket prices?

So for this case we just need to replace the limits into the linear equation and see what we got:

P_L=3(120-90)+200=290

P_U=3(120-115)+200=215

So the corresponding range of ticket prices is:

215 \leq P \leq 290
