Answer:
C. f(-1) =12
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)= 3x^2+9
Let x=-1
f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 +9
= 3(1)+9
= 3+9
= 12
f(-1) =12
Let the five terms be: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, then
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d + a + 4d = 5a + 15d = 40
i.e. a + 3d = 8
Also, (a + 2d)(a + 3d)(a + 4d) = 224
(a + 3d - d)(a + 3d)(a + 3d + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8)(8 + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8 + d) = 224/8 = 28
64 - d^2 = 28
d^2 = 64 - 28 = 36
d = sqrt(36) = 6
But a + 3d = 8
a + 3(6) = 8
a = 8 - 18 = -10
Therefore, the term of the sequence is: -10, -10 + 6, -10 + 2(6), -10 + 3(6), -10 + 4(6)
= -10, -4, -10 + 12, -10 + 18, -10 + 24
= -10, -4, 2, 8, 14
3 gallons of strawberries.
3/4 * 4/1 = 12/4 = 3
or you can use the butterfly method on the fours and get
3/1 * 1/1 = 3
Answer:
The expression is 20 - 50/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have the quotient of 50 and 5.
This is written as:
50/5
And we know that this is equal to 10, but let's leave it as 50/5 for now.
Now we subtract this FROM 20, then we have the number 20, and we subtract 50/5 from it, this is written as:
20 - 50/5
Now we can also solve this:
20 - 50/5 = 20 - 10 = 10
