Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to list some equations. Letting variable d stand for dogs and p stand for parrots, we have:

d+p=40 (The number of dogs plus the number of parrots equals 40)

4d+2p=130 (Each dog has 4 legs and each parrot has 2 legs and they have 130 legs in total)

With this system of equations, we can quickly solve it for d and p.

Subtract:

 4d+2p=130

- d+p=40

_________

3d+p=90,

p=90-3d

Substitution:

d+(90-3d)=40

90-2d=40

-2d=-50

d=25

Substitution to get p:

p+25=40

p=15

There you have it! There are 25 dogs and 15 parrots. To check our work,

25+15=40

4(25)+2(15)=100+30=130

I hope this helped! :)

Answer: There are 32 dogs and 1 Parrot

Step-by-step explanation: I had a question like this in a math class. What you first do is to recognize that- parrots have 2 legs and dogs have 4. We can do 130/2 = 65 and 130/4= 32.5. Now we know that if there was only one animal, there would be 65 parrots, and 32 dogs- one with half of the legs. Since there is a .5 for the dogs, if we put in one parrot, it would mean that there is exactly 130.

(32 x 4)+(2x1) = 130.  There are 32 dogs and 1 Parrot. I hope this answer is ✅ and helps, i just joined the community and this is the first person I answered. Good Luck!!

Find the sum of a finite geometric sequence from n = 1 to n = 8, using the expression −2(3)^n − 1.
Kazeer [188]
The sum if the geometric sequence given by:
an=-2(3)^(n-1)
will be:
when:
n=1
an=-2
when n=2
a2=-6
when n=3
a3=-18

when n=4
a4=-54

when n=5
a5=-162

when n=6
a6=-486

when n=7
a7=-1458

when n=8
a8=-4374

thus the summation of the term will be:
Sn=(-4374+-1458+-486+-162+-54+-18+-6+-2)
Sn=-6560
the answer is -6560

2x2 - 12x + 10<br>what are the roots​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

5 & 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the quadratic formula to solve this:

Quadratic Formula = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

So we will have 2 answers (roots).

a is the coefficient of x^2 (2)

b is the coefficient of x (-12)

c is the constant (10)

Now, substituting, we get:

x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}=\frac{12+-\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(2)(10)} }{2(2)}=\frac{12+-\sqrt{64} }{4}=\frac{12+-8}{4}=\frac{12+-8}{4}=5,1

Hence the roots are 5 & 1

What is the explicit formula
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

a(n) = 13 - 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula variables are a(n) = a(1) + d (n - 1). The a(1) is your number you started out with, and the d is the common difference. From the recursive formula example, you see that your first number is 11 and your difference is -2.

1. Plug the numbers into the equation : a(n) = 11 - 2 (n - 1)

2. Distribute: a(n) = 11 - 2n + 2

3. Add like terms: a(n) = 13 - 2n

If you want to double check, you can plug 1 into n and see if you get 11. I did this, and I did so it should be correct. Hope this made sense! Have a great day :)
