Answer:

x = larger number

Let y = smaller numer

(1) x + y = 48

(2) x = y + 14

Solving (1) for x:

x = 48-y

Substituting this into (2) and solving for y:

48-y = y+14

48-2y = 14

-2y = -34

y = 17

x = 48-y = 31

So, the smaller number is 17 and the larger number is 31

Find the 20th term of the sequence 2, 8, 18, 32, ... ​
Feliz [49]

20th term of sequence is 800

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given sequence is 2, 8, 18, 32

To find: 20th term of sequence

Let us first find the pattern followed by sequence

2 \times 1 \times 1 = 2\\\\2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8\\\\2 \times 3 \times 3 = 18\\\\2 \times 4 \times 4 = 32

So the next term is found by multiplying 2 with the square of location of term

<em><u>For nth term, we can represent by</u></em>

a_n = 2n^2

Where, n = 1, 2, 3, .........

<em><u>To find 20th term</u></em>

n = 20

a_{20} = 2(20)^2 = 2 \times 400 = 800

Thus 20th term of sequence is 800

ad-work [718]
See the attached picture with letters to better understand the problem

we know that
the figure is a regular hexagon

A regular hexagon has:

<span>Interior Angles of <span>120°
</span></span>so
in the triangle ABC
BC=2 units
∠ABC=30°
∠BAC=60°

tan 30°=AC/BC
solve for AC
AC=BC*tan 30°-------> AC=2*(√3)/3
<span>Apothem is equal to AC
</span>Apothem=(2/3)√3

the answer is
(2/3)√3

A whole lotta points. Please answer its life and death urgency. I will give everything, including brainliest. But ONLY if you an
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The correct answer is 31x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x

To solve this correctly you must to add the coefficients of the like terms (terms who has same variables or constant terms)

∵ 13x , 17x , x are like terms ⇒ terms with same variable

  (same letters and same power)

∵ 5 , 4.5 are like terms ⇒ constant terms (numbers only)

∴ (13x + 17x + x) + (5 - 4.5) = 31x + 0.5

* <u>The error of first answer:</u>

- 18x + 17x - 4.5 + x

- She add 13x + 5 = 18x ⇒ she add unlike terms

* <u>The error of second answer:</u>

- 35x - 4.5 + x

- She add 13x + 5 + 17x  = 35x ⇒ she add 2 like terms with 1 unlike term

* <u>The error of third answer:</u>

- 30.5x + x

- She add 13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 = (13x + 17x) + (5 - 4.5) =

  30x + 0.5 ⇒ she add 2 like terms and 2 constant terms

  and then add the 2 unlike answers

* <u>The error of fourth answer:</u>

- 31.5x

- She add 13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x = (13x + 17x + x) + (5 - 4.5) =

  31x + 0.5 ⇒ she add 3 like terms and 2 constant terms

  and then add the 2 unlike answers

F(x) = x2 + 2x - 2<br> Show graph
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x2 + 2x - 2  should be rewritten using " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:

f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 2.

We find a couple of key points and use the fact that this parabola is symmetric about the line

          -2

x = ----------- = -1.  When x = -1, y = f(-1) = (-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 2, or 1 - 2 -2, or -3.

        2(1)

Thus the vertex is at (-1, -3).  The y-intercept is found by letting x = 0:  y = -2.  The axis of symmetry is x = -1.

Graph x = -1 and then reflect this y-intercept (0, -2) about the line x = -1, obtaining (-2, -2).  If necessary, find 1 or two more points (such as the x-intercepts).

To find the roots (x-intercepts), set f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 2 = 0 and solve for x.

Completing the square, we obtain x^2 + 2x + 1 - 2 = + 1, or (x + 1)^2 = 3.

Taking the square root of both sides yields x + 1 = ±√3.  One of the two roots is x = 1.732 - 1, or 0.732, so one of the two x-intercepts is (0.732, 0).
