A. Write two explicit formulas for arithmetic sequences.

IgorLugansk [536]

Explicit formulas for arithmetic sequences are derived from terms in arithmetic sequences. It helps to find each term in arithmetic progression easily. The arithmetic progression is a1, a2, a3, ..., an. where the first term is denoted as 'a', we have a = a1, and the tolerance is denoted as 'd'. The tolerance formula is d = a2 - a1 = a3 - a2 = an - an - 1. The nth term of the arithmetic progression represents the explicit formula for the arithmetic progression.

Explicit formula: an= a + (n − 1) d

Explicit formula: Sn = n/2 [2a+(n-1) d]

Where,

nth term in the arithmetic sequence

a = first term in the arithmetic sequence

d = difference (each term and its term difference) previous term, i.e., d = an-an-1

An ice cream store has the pricing shown below. You want to determine the best value. The height of the cone is 4.5 in and the d

nignag [31]

Solution:

Step 1:

We will calculate the volume of ice cream in the single scoop

The volume of the ice cream will be

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h+\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 \\ r=\frac{2in}{2}=1in(cone) \\ h=4.5in \\ r=\frac{3in}{2}=1.5in(radius\text{ of the hemisphere\rparen} \end{gathered}$

By substituting the values, we will have

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h+\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3} \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1^2\times4.5+\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1.5^3 \\ V=\frac{33}{7}+\frac{99}{14} \\ V=\frac{165}{14} \\ V=11.79in^3 \end{gathered}$

Step 2:

We will use the formula below to calculate the volume of the two scoops of ic cream

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h+\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1^2\times4.5in+\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1.5^3 \\ V=\frac{33}{7}+\frac{99}{7} \\ V=\frac{132}{7} \\ V=18.86in^3 \end{gathered}$

Step 3:

We will use the formula below to calculate the volume of the three scoops of ic cream

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h+\frac{6}{3}\pi r^3 \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1^2\times4.5+2\times\frac{22}{7}\times1.5^3 \\ V=\frac{33}{7}+\frac{297}{14} \\ V=\frac{363}{14} \\ V=25.93in^3 \end{gathered}$

For the first ice cream with one scoop

$\begin{gathered} 1in^3=\frac{3.50}{11.79} \\ 1in^3=\text{ \$}0.30 \end{gathered}$

For the second ice cream with two scoops

$\begin{gathered} 1in^3=\frac{4.50}{18.86} \\ 1in^3=\text{ \$}0.24 \end{gathered}$

For the third ice cream with three scoops

$\begin{gathered} 1in^3=\frac{5.50}{25.93} \\ 1in^3=\text{ \$}0.21 \end{gathered}$

Hence,

The final answer is

The triple sold at $5.50 has the best value because it has the lowest price of $0.21 per cubic inch of the ice cream

Joy wants to buy strawberries and raspberries to bring to a party. Strawberries cost $1.60 per pound and raspberries cost $1.75

zimovet [89]

Answer: 1.60x + 1.75y is less than or equal to 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the strawberries cost $1.60 per pound, it would be x pounds times $1.60 for the total cost of strawberries. Since the raspberries cost $1.75 per pound, it would be y pounds times $1.75 for the total cost of the raspberries. The total cost of both, or 1.60x + 1.75y, must be equal to or less than 10 because she cannot spend over 10 dollars.

A student is running a 3-kilometer race. He runs 1 kilometer every 2 minutes. Select the function that describes his distance fr

Sliva [168]

Total distance: d = 3 km

Minutes run: x

Distance run = (1 km / 2 minutes) * x = (1/2)x

Distance from the finish line = total distance - ditance run = 3 - (1/2)x =

= - (1/2)x + 3

Answer - (1/2)x + 3
