Answer:

a{_n} = 17 + (n - 1)4 for n = 1, 2, . . . , 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence, because the population is said to increase by 4 animals yearly. The formula for the nth term in an arithmetic sequence is given by:

a{_n} = a{_1} + (n - 1)d where a_n is the nth term, [/tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term, n = 1, 2, . . . and d is the common difference.

Since they are currently 17, this implies that the first number in the population sequence will be 17. In order words, the first term is 17.

Since they increase by 4 yearly, then the common difference is 4.

Since it's for 20years, the n = 1, 2, . . ., 20. The explicit formula is therefore:

a{_n} = 17 + (n - 1)4 for n = 1, 2, . . . , 20.

I need help please helppppppppppppppppppppppp

Given:

A figure of a circle and two secants on the circle from the outside of the circle.

To find:

The measure of angle KLM.

Solution:

According to the intersecting secant theorem, if two secant of a circle intersect each other outside the circle, then the angle formed on the intersection is half of the difference between the intercepted arcs.

Using intersecting secant theorem, we get

\angle KLM=\dfrac{1}{2}(Arc(JON)-Arc(KM))

(3x-4)=\dfrac{1}{2}(271-(x+6))

(3x-4)=\dfrac{1}{2}(271-x-6)

Multiply both sides by 2.

6x-8=265-x

Isolate the variable x.

6x+x=265+8

7x=273

Divide both sides by 7.

x=\dfrac{273}{7}

x=39

Now,

\angle KLM=(3x-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=(3(39)-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=(117-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=113^\circ

Therefore, the measure of angle KLM is 113 degrees.

Sam bought a soda and a bag of chips for $3. If the soda cost $1.75, how much was the bag of chips?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The bag of chips is worth the same as the entire purchase minus the soda.

Therefore the chips are worth 3 - 1.75 = 1.25
