Answer:

a=6

b= -15

Step-by-step explanation:

third term --> n=3

a(3)^2 + b(3) =9

9a+3b=9

3(3a +b)=9

3a +b=9/3=3

3a + b=3 ------eqn1

sixth term n=6

a(6)^2 +6b =126

36a +6b=126

6(6a+b)=126

6a + b =126/6=21

6a + b=21----------eqn 2

eqn2 - eqn 1

(6a-3a) +(b-b) =21-3

3a=18

a=18/3=6

sub a= 6 into eqn2

6(6)+b=21

36 +b =21

b=21-36= -15

Answer:

a = 6 , b = - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute n = 3 and n = 6 into the nth term formula

a(3)² + 3b = 9 , that is

9a + 3b = 9 ( divide through by 3 )

3a + b = 3 → (1)

--------------------

a(6)² + 6b = 126 , that is

36a + 6b = 126 ( divide through by 6 )

6a + b = 21 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate b

3a + 0 = 18

3a = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = 6

Substitute a = 6 into (1) and solve for b

3(6) + b = 3

18 + b = 3 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

b = - 15

Answer:

<h2>B. The amount of fuel used was lowest at speeds around 60km/h.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The decreasing part is from (20,13) to (60,6), which gives an average rate of

$r=\frac{6-13}{60-20}=-\frac{7}{40}=-0.175$

Then, we have an increasing part from (60,6) to (120,10), which gives an average rate of

$r=\frac{10-6}{120-60}=\frac{4}{60}=0.067$

Basically, at 60 km/h the fuel used was 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Notice that the other velocities make the car to use more liters per kilometers.

Therefore, the amount of fuel used was lowest at speeds around 60 km/h.

1. The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are Sara, Kenny, and Leila. Sara sold $3350 in ads, Kenny sold $1368, and

Dominik [7]

Answer:

$\text{Fraction of Sara sold }= \dfrac{1675}{2587}$

$\text{Fraction of Kenny sold }= \dfrac{684}{2587}$

$\text{Fraction of Leila sold }= \dfrac{228}{2587}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are sara, Kenny and Leila.

Sara sold total ads = $3350

Kenny sold total ads = $1368

Leila sold total ads = $456

First we calculate total sale of all three = 3350 + 1368 + 456 = $5174

We need to find fraction of total sale with each person sell.

$\text{Fraction of Sara sold }=\dfrac{\text{Sara total sold}}{\text{Total sale by all three}}$

$\text{Fraction of Sara sold }=\dfrac{3350}{5174}\Rightarrow\dfrac{1675}{2587}\approx 64.75\%$

$\text{Fraction of Kenny sold }=\dfrac{\text{Kenny total sold}}{\text{Total sale by all three}}$

$\text{Fraction of Kenny sold }=\dfrac{1368}{5174}\Rightarrow\dfrac{684}{2587}\approx 26.45\%$

$\text{Fraction of Leila sold }=\dfrac{\text{Leila total sold}}{\text{Total sale by all three}}$

$\text{Fraction of Leila sold }=\dfrac{456}{5174}\Rightarrow\dfrac{228}{2587}\approx 8.8\%$
