The Answer Will Be 1.1205 x 10 To The 5th Power.
2018 is the 70th term of the progression.
Explanation
We start out finding the common difference of the progression:
46-17 = 29
Now we write the explicit formula for the sequence. It is of the form
We set this equal to 2018 to see if the answer is a whole number. If it is, it will be the term number that gives us 2018:
2018=17+29(n-1)
Using the distributive property,
2018=17+29*n-29*1
2018=17+29n-29
Combine like terms:
2018=29n-12
Add 12 to both sides:
2018+12=29n-12+12
2030=29n
Divide both sides by 29:
2030/29=29n/29
70=n
Since n=70, this means 2018 is the 70th term of the sequence.
The answer is 58.68 when you multiply 4.89 and 12
<em><u>The polynomial that represents the difference between the cost of distributing by train and the cost of distributing by truck is:</u></em>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>The cost of distributing by train can be modeled as:</u></em>
<em><u>The cost of distributing by truck can be modeled as:</u></em>
where x is the number of tons of product distributed
To find: Difference between the cost of distributing by train and the cost of distributing by truck
Difference = cost of distributing by train - cost of distributing by truck
Let f(x) = difference in cost between trains & trucks
Thus polynomial that represents the difference between the cost of distributing by train and the cost of distributing by truck is found
