Answer:

$a_{n}$ = - 7n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

- 15 - (- 8) = - 22 - (- 15) = - 29 - (- 22) = - 36 - (- 29) = - 7

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 8 and d = - 7 , then

$a_{n}$ = - 8 - 7(n - 1) = - 8 - 7n + 7 = - 7n - 1

True or false? Rates can be adjusted for different time periods. If you know how many parts can be made in an hour, then you can

julsineya [31]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole point of units conversion is to take a value expressed in one set of units (parts per hour) and translate it to a different set of units (parts per week). The rate does not have to involve time.

The statement is TRUE.

Please help and answer the question properly.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x = 15.65 and y = 5√2

Step-by-step explanation:

To get x and y we will use the Pythagoras theorem as shown

hyp^2 = adj^2 + opp^2

x^2 = 14^2+7^2

x^2 = 196 + 49

x^2 = 245

x = √245

x = 15.65

Similarly for y;

y2 = 5^2 + 5^2

y^2 = 25 + 25

y^2 = 50

y = √2*25

y = 5√2

Hence x = 15.65 and y = 5√2

Given the data, as shown in the image below, determine if the distribution is uniformly distributed, symmetrically distributed,

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The distribution is symmetric.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution will be skew left, if the data is more distributed on left side of graph.

The distribution will be right left, if the data is more distributed on right side of graph.

The distribution is symmetric if from the center, the data is distributed symmetrically, equal increase or decrease on either side.

The distribution is uniform if the value of data remains constant throughout the graph.

Above here, the from the center, the data decreases symmetrically on both the sides, same values of data for Cat-Rabbit pair and Dog-Mice pair.

Thus, distribution is symmetric.

Here are two polygons on a grid.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

For polygon PQRST to be considered a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE, it means every segments of polygon ABCDE were increased proportionally by a scale factor.

The segments in polygon PQRST were not gotten using the same scale factor, hence, it is not a scaled copy of the original polygon, ABCDE.

Segment CD = 2 units, it corresponds to segment RS = 4 units. Scale factor = RS/CD = 4/2 = 2

Segment BC = 1 unit, it corresponds to segment QR = 1 unit. Scale factor = QR/BC = 1/1 = 1 units.

Varying scale factor shows polygon PQRST is not a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE.

Find the equation of the linear function h that has h(12)=-7 and that is perpendicular to q(a)=1/2a+38.. I don’t understand how

Effectus [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

q(a) = ½a + 38

The slope of q is ½. So the perpendicular slope is -1/½ = -2.

Write h(x) in point-slope form:

h − (-7) = -2 (x − 12)

h + 7 = -2 (x − 12)

Simplify to get slope-intercept form.

h + 7 = -2x + 24

h = -2x + 17
