Nina [5.8K]2 years ago

Answer:

a3=15 , n=3

a8=0, n=8

a5 = ?

an = a1+ (n-1)d

a3 = a1 + (3-1) d

a3=a1+2d

and a8 = a1 + (8-1 )d

a8= a1+ 7d

15 = a1 + 2 d-------1

0= a1 +7 d----------2

substacting eq 2 from eq 1

15= - 5d

- 5d = 15

divide by - 5

d = -3

putting the value of d in eq 1

15 = a1 + 7 (-3)

15 = a1 -21

adding 21 on both sides

a1-21+21= 15+21

a1 = 36

a5 = ?, n=5, d= -3, a1=36

a5 = 36 + (5-1) (-3)

= 36+(4)(-3)

= 36-12

= 24

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The factorized expression is (-5) × (t - 2.747) ×(t - 1.747)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is -5·t² + 5·t + 24

To factorize the expression by completing the square method, we equate the expression to zero to get;

-5·t² + 5·t + 24 = 0

WE divide by -5 to get;

t² - t - 24/5 = 0

t² - t = 24/5

t² - t + 1/4 = 24/5 + 1/4

(t - 1/2)² = 5.05

t - 1/2 = ±√5.05

t = 1/2 + √5.05, 1/2 - √5.05

The factorized expression becomes;

(t - 1/2 + √5.05) and (t - 1/2 - √5.05)

Which gives;

(t - 2.747) ×(t - 1.747)

The factorized expression is (-5) × (t - 2.747) ×(t - 1.747).

If a car has traveled 171 miles in 3 hours at a steady pace, how far has it traveled each hour?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

B: 57 mph=57 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

A steady pace means constant speed  that it does not change over a period of time and direction of motion. A simple formula, for this case (constant speed)

v= \frac{x - xo}{t -to}

where x is distance and t time. The subtract is final value minus initial value

We have the distance and time, then

v= \frac{171 miles}{3 hours}  = 57 mph

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through (-2,13) is y =5x-3what is the point slope form of the equ
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

y - 13 = 5(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Given y = 5x - 3 in  slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5, then

m = 5 and (a, b) = (- 2, 13)

y - 13 = 5(x - (- 2)), that is

y - 13 = 5(x + 2) ← in point- slope form
