Arithmetic sequences have a common difference between consecutive terms.
Geometric sequences have a common ratio between consecutive terms.
Let's compute the differences and ratios between consecutive terms:
Differences:
Ratios:
So, as you can see, the differences between consecutive terms are constant, whereas ratios vary.
So, this is an arithmetic sequence.
Answer:
47/5 or 9 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
12/1-13/5
60-13/5
=47/5
There is one solution to this system of equations. The answer is B.
Answer:
after 10 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of months and y be the amount they still owe.
Sin Ian borrows $1000 from his parents, then the y-intercept b= 1000 since he owes $1000 when x = 0. He pays them back $60 each month The slope is then m = -60 . Substituting in b = 1000 and m = -60 into the slope-intercept form of a line then gives y= mx + b=-60x +1000.
Sin Ken borrows $600 from his parents, then the y-intercept b = 600 since he owes $600 When x= 0. He pays them back $20 per month so the amount he owes decreases $20 each month. The slope is then m = -20 . Substituting in
b= 600 and m = -20 into the slope-intercept form then gives y = mx +b = -20x + 600.
They will owe the same amount when they have the same y-coordinate. Therefore -60x+ 1000= y= -20x+600. Solve this equation for x:
-60x+ 1000 = -20x+ 600
1000 = 40x+ 600
400 = 40x
10=x
They will then owe the same amount after 10 months.
