The third choice is appropriate.
an = 5 - 3(n - 1); all integers n ≥ 1
_____
This equation follows the form for the general term of an arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + d(n - 1)
where a1 is the first term (corresponding to n=1), and d is the common difference. From the problem statement, a1 = 5 and d = 2 - 5 = -3.
This is the correct answer to your problem
Answer:
ok so first we know that 1/3 of a hour is 20 minutes since
60*1/3=20
so every 20 minutes 1/15 of the lawn is mowed then we need to just multiply 20 by 15
20*15=300
300 minutes or 5 hours
Hope This Helps!!!
Once the cake is removed from the oven, it has been exposed to the room temperature of 70°F. After 10 minutes, the cake's temperature decreased to 200°F, which is 150°F cooler than it initially was (350°F). As for the what is asked, 90°F is 260°F cooler than its original temperature (350°F).
This problem can be expressed in a ratio:
10mins:150<span>°F = N:260</span><span>°F
where N is how long it will take for</span><span> cake to cool to 90°F
</span>150<span>°FxN=10x260
</span>150N=2600
N=2600/150
N=17.33
N<span>≈20 minutes
Thus, it takes approximately 20 minutes </span><span>for the cake to cool to 90°F</span>
Yes hope it helps!!!!!!!!
