Mathematics

Mrrafil [7]3 years ago

Answer:

a_{n}=45-3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Arithmetic sequence is in the form

a_{n} =a_{1} +(n-1)d\\

d is the common difference, can be found by:

d=a_{n}-a_{n-1}=-3

Subtituting the a_{1} and d

You get:

a_{n}=42+(-3)(n-1)=45-3n

Method 2 (Mathematical induction):

Assume it is in form a_{n}=45-3n

Base step: a_{1} =45-3(1)=42

Inducive hypophesis: a_{n}=45-3n

GIven: a_{n+1} =a_{n}-3

a_{n+1}=45-3n-3=45-3(n+1)

Proved by mathematical induction

a_{n}=45-3n

Rom4ik [11]
Find the multiplier to get from 2800ft to 3600ft. Multiply the weight of seed required for 2800ft by this multiplier for your answer.
3600/2800=9/7
70*9/7=90 oz

Classify the following triangle. check all that apply​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Options (A), (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A.

Two sides of the given triangle are equal. Therefore, the given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Option (B).

Given triangle has a right angle. Therefore, it's a right triangle.

Option (C).

Only two sides of the given triangle are equal. Therefore, it's not an equilateral triangle.

Option (D).

Although this triangle has two acute angles (less than 90°) but the third angle is 90°. Therefore, this triangle is not an acute triangle. It's a right triangle.

Option (E).

A scalene triangle is a triangle having all sides different in measure but the given triangle is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, it's not a scalene.

Option (F).

Any angle of this triangle is not more than 90°. Therefore, the given triangle is not an obtuse triangle.

Two lines, A and B, are represented by the equations given below: Line A: x + y = 6 Line B: x + y = 4 Which statement is true ab
timurjin [86]
If the lines cross, there is a solution , which means that there is a y and x value which satisfies both equations. 
since both the equations start with x+y they shoulddd have the same answer if they had crossed. we can tell straight away these lines do not cross because 6=/=4 6 doesnt equal 4. therefore no solution. 
TIP: for the future, if they had crossed, you can use simultaneous equations to find x and y to see if they work in each equation and find a solution ( since they are straight lines there will only be 1 solution, unless they are literally the same line in which case then then they are ALWAYS on top of each other and always have the same values)
