Anyone wanna talk for fu cause im bored? btw I have no idea what I wanna talk about lol.

Indicate the general rule for the arithmetic sequence with a3 = -12 and a8 = -37

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The general rule is $a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d$

In which $a_1$ is the first term and d is the common difference.

We can also find the nth term as a function of a term m, using:

$a_n = a_m + (n-m)d$

a3 = -12 and a8 = -37

First we find the common difference. So

$a_n = a_m + (n-m)d$

$a_8 = a_3 + (8-3)d$

$-37 = -12 + 5d$

$5d = -25$

$d = -\frac{25}{5}$

$d = -5$

So

$a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)$

Finding the first term:

$a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)$

Since $a_3 = -12$

$a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)$

$a_3 = a_1 - 5(3-1)$

$a_1 = a_3 + 10 = -12 + 10 = -2$

So the general rule is:

$a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)$

$a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)$

There are 3 measures of music that are played 3 times in a song. If the first measure has 8 notes, the second measure has 16 not

Mandarinka [93]

Hi!

We know that there are three measures and each has a different amount of notes. To find the total we add them all up.
8+16+4=28.

There were 28 total notes played in the song.

I hope I helped you!
Have a wonderful day!

Larry has a gift card worth 400 for a local entertainment store Movies cost $20 each and newly released video games cost $50 eac

Vikki [24]

Answer:

All are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of movies and y be the number of newly released video games.

Larry has a gift card worth 400 for a local entertainment store Movies cost $20 each and newly released video games cost $50 each.

$20x+50y\leq 400$

Larry must purchase at least nine items.

$x+y\geq 9$

Check both inequalities of all given ordered pairs.

For (5,6),

$20(5)+50(6)\leq 400\Rightarrow 400\leq 400$

$5+6\geq 9\Rightarrow 16\geq 9$

Point (5,6) satisfy both inequalities.

For (10,4),

$20(10)+50(4)\leq 400\Rightarrow 400\leq 400$

$10+4\geq 9\Rightarrow 14\geq 9$

Point (10,4) satisfy both inequalities.

For (20,0),

$20(20)+50(0)\leq 400\Rightarrow 400\leq 400$

$20+0\geq 9\Rightarrow 20\geq 9$

Point (20,0) satisfy both inequalities.

For (15,2),

$20(15)+50(2)\leq 400\Rightarrow 400\leq 400$

$15+2\geq 9\Rightarrow 17\geq 9$

Point (15,2) satisfy both inequalities.

Therefore, all combination of movies and newly released video games Larry could purchase using his gift card.
