Answer:

3 , 11, 25, 45

Diff 8 14 20

Diff 6 6

The second differences are the same. The sequence is quadratic and will contain an n^2 term. The coefficient of n^2 is always half of the second difference. In this example, the second difference is 6. Half of 6 is 3 so the coefficient of n^2 is 3

therefore 3n^2

3 11 25 45

3n^2 3 12 27 48

Remainder 0 -1 -2 -3

Difference -1 -1 -1

linear sequence with nth term -n+1

so nth term of quadratic sequence in 3n^2-n+1

A photography studio charges $50 that includes a sitting fee and 6 prints. Luigi increased his order to 11 prints and paid $65.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Sitting fee - 32$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations(let x represent the sitting fee)

x+6y=50

x+11y=65

You want to isolate the x variable - x+6y-6y=50-6y ; x = 50-6y

Input this into the 2nd equation: 50-6y+11y=65 ; 50+5y=65

Subtract 50 from both sides. 5y=15 (Divided 5y on both sides) ; y=3

Now that y = 3 input this into any equation I choose the 1st one.

x+6(3) = 50 ; x + 18 = 50 (Subtract 18 on both sides to get x)

x = 32

Prove: 32 + 6(3) = 50 ; 32+18 = 50 ; 50 = 50 True

The vertices of triangle rst are r(–1,–2), s(2,–1), and t(4,2). If δjkl ∼ δrst and the length of kl is units , what is the lengt

NemiM [27]

Answer:

3.16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given that the triangles JKL and the triangle RST are congruent.

That implies that, the length of the side JK, KL, and JL is equivalent to the length of the sides RS, ST, and RT respectively.

Now, to find the length of JK we need to find the length of the side RS. The coordinates of the points R and S are $(-1,-2)$ and $(2,-1)$ .

The length of the side RS is equal to the distance between point R and S.

RS $=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$= \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(-1-(-(-2))^2}$

$=\sqrt{3^2+(-1+2)^2}$

$=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}=3.16$

Now that we have the length of the side RS, and the triangles JKL and RST are congruent therefore, the length of the side JK is 3.16 units.

The formula for the area of a square is A = sa, where s is the length of a side.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

$\sqrt{400} = 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sides of a square are equal, A = s x s so taking the square root of the square provides the length of each side
