Given the sequence 9,6,3,0,..., at what nth term will the number become -24?​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anton [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is given and we need to find the term when it will become -24 . The given sequence is,

9 , 6 , 3 ,0 , . . . . .

Here Common Difference can be calculated by subtracting consecutive terms . So the Common Difference is 6-9 = -3 . Here the nth term is (-24) .Now using the formula to find nth term .

⇒ T_n = a + (n-1)d

⇒ (-24) = 9 + (n-1)(-3)

⇒ -24-9 = (n-1)(-3)

⇒ (n-1) = -33/-3

⇒ n-1 = 11

⇒ n = 11 + 1

⇒ n = 12

<h3><u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>requi</u><u>red</u><u> </u><u>number</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>term</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u>.</u></h3>

What is the vertex of the graph of this equation y=2x^2+8x-24
sdas [7]

Answer:

The vertex would be D) (-2, -32)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex , start by find the x-value. For this we can use the equation below.

x = -b/2a

In which a is the coefficient of x^2 and b is the coefficient of x.

x = -b/2a

x = -(8)/2(2)

x = -8/4

x = -2

Now that we have x, we find y by plugging -2 in for each x.

y = 2x^2 + 8x - 24

y = 2(-2)^2 + 8(-2) - 24

y = 2(4) - 16 - 24

y = 8 - 16 - 24

y = -32

ky has 3 times more books than grant and grant has 6 fewer books than Jaime if the total combined number of books is 176 how man
sergiy2304 [10]
Number of books each of them have:

Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)

There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:

176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24                        / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200                              / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40

Doublecheck:

Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102

102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)

X^2-12x+12=0 completing the square
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

x1 = 6 + 2√6 or x2 = 6 - 2√6

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 12x + 12 = 0

We need to use formula:

a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)².

x² - 12x  =  - 12

x² - 2*6x + 6²- 6² = - 12

(x - 6)² - 36 = -12

(x - 6)² = - 12 + 36

(x -6)² = 24

(x - 6) = √24 or (x-6) = -√24

(x - 6) = 2√6 or (x-6) = - 2√6

x = 6 + 2√6 or x = 6 - 2√6
