Answer:

First term = -41.

Common difference = -15.

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term: an = a1 + (n - 1)d  where a = first term and d = the common difference.

-671 = a1 + (43 - 1)d

-806 = a1 +(52 - 1)d

-671  = a1 + 42d

-806 = a1 + 51d

Subtracting ( to eliminate a1):

-671 - (-806) = 42d - 51d

-9d =  135

d = -15

Substitute for d in the first equation:

-671 = a1 + 42*-15

-671 = a1 - 630

a1 = -671 + 630 = -41.

If c(x) = 4x – 2 and d(x) = x^2+ 5x, what is (c circle d) (x)?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

4x² + 20x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate (c ○ d)(x), substitute x = d(x) into c(x)

c(x² + 5x)

= 4(x² + 5x) - 2

= 4x² + 20x - 2

It x, y, and z are positive intergers and 3x = 4y = 7z, then the least possible value of x + y + z is???
Dmitry [639]

3x = 4y = 7z \\ \Rightarrow \begin{cases}3x - 4y = 0 \\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3x = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3( \frac{4}{3}y)  = 0\end{cases}  \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 4y= 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\ y \\ z =  \frac{4}{7}y \end{cases} \\ x,y,z\: are\: intergers\Rightarrow y=LCM(3,7)=21\Rightarrow x = 28,z = 12 \\ \Rightarrow x + y + z = 61

Georgia [21]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this method, each group of 60 players do not have the same chance of being selected.

Also with this method, the selection will not be uniformly distributed among the 30 teams. Some teams will have more players, some will have few and some will have no player selected at all.
