Answer:

f(8) = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a pattern in the sequence. It might be an <u>arithmetic sequence</u> (always adds or subtract by a certain number), or a <u>geometric sequence</u> (always multiplies or divides by a certain number).

To find a pattern in this decreasing sequence, we find either the common difference or the common divisor of each pair of consecutive numbers.

• 100 - 95 = 5

• 95 - 90 = 5

• 90 - 85 = 5

• 85 - 80 = 5

• 80 - 75 = 5

Now, we know that this is an <u>arithmetic sequence</u>, and the common difference is <u>5</u>.

To calculate f(8), we find the 8th term in the sequence. We can do that by counting the terms in the sequence and using the common difference, 5, that we found, to continue the sequence.

• f(1) = 100

• f(2) = 95

• f(3) = 90

     ......

• f(7) = 70

• f(8) = 65

I wish I had an answer for you! Unfortunately, this one has stumped even professional mathematicians for over a century. It was first presented by mathematician Edmund Landau in 1912, and it’s gone unproven ever since. I can’t give you a solution, but I can definitely say you should submit your findings to a mathematical journal if you ever find one!

Julie spends $5.46 at the store. Micah spends 5 times as much as Julie. Jeremy spends $6.69 more than Micah. How much money did
eduard

Answer:

Julie spent $5.46. Micah spent $27.30. Jeremy spent $33.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

Julie spent $5.46

Micah spent 5 times more than Julie, so multiply $5.46 by 5, which totals $27.30.

Jeremy spent $6.69 more than Micah, so add $6.69 to $27.30 to equal $33.99.
