Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the nth term of the arithmetic sequence is: $a_n =a_1+d(n-1)$

d = 9 - 4 = 5

a₁ = -6

Therefore:

$a_n =-6+5(n-1)\\\\a_n =-6+5n-5\\\\a_n =5n-11$

Answer:

Sam's student council spent $39 on backpacks + paper and pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

They bought 3 backpacks for $7 each. 3 x 7 = $21.

They also filled those backpacks with paper and pens costing $6 each. 3 backpacks x $6 = $18.

Now, add the two prices.

18 + 21 = 39

2. Suppose (220)_b and (251)_b are the squares of consecutive integers. Determine b.

Andrei [34K]

Let $x$ and $x+1$ be these consecutive integers. For some base $b$ , we can write

$(x_{10})^2=220_b=2b^2+2b$

$((x+1)_{10})^2=251_b=2b^2+5b+1$

$x^2=2b^2+2b$

then

$x^2+1=2b^2+2b+1$

Now,

$x^2+2x+1=2b^2+5b+1$

$2x+2b^2+2b+1=2b^2+5b+1$

$\implies2x=3b$

Squaring both sides gives

$4x^2=9b^2$

and so

$4(2b^2+2b)=9b^2$

$\implies8b^2+8b=9b^2$

$\implies b^2-8b=0\implies\boxed{b=8}$

(because the base has to be non-zero)
