Answer: The tenth term is 76

=======================================================

Explanation:

We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term

a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)

Plug in a_1 = 4, \ d = 8, \ n = 10 and you should get the following:

a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(10-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(9)\\\\a_{10} = \textbf{76}\\\\

The tenth term is <u>76</u>

---------

We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.

\begin{array}{c|c}\boldsymbol{n} & \boldsymbol{a_n}\\1 & 4\\2 & 12\\3 & 20\\4 & 28\\5 & 36\\6 & 44\\7 & 52\\8 & 60\\9 & 68\\10 & \textbf{76}\\\end{array}

---------

In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in a_n = a_1 + d(n-1) which shifts everything one spot to the left.

Which division problem is represented with this model? 14÷3 15÷3 13÷2 15÷4
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The division model is 15 ÷ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Interpret the division model

A division model is of the form: Dividend ÷ Divisor

In the attached figure (in the question), there are 5 vertical partitions.

This vertical partitions represents the result of the model

Also from the question attachment;

The horizontal partitions on the left, if traced to the right side of the diagram means that each vertical partition is divided into 3 and this represents the divisor of the model.

So, we have:

Divisor = 3

To get the quotient of the model, I'll make use of my attached file.

Counting the number of boxes, we can see that there are 15 boxes in total.

So, we have:

Dividend = 15

<em>Hence, the division model is: 15 ÷ 3</em>

If angle DCA measures 50 degrees, what does angle ACB measure?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Part 1:

Angle DCB is a right angle.

So, angle DCA + angle ACB = 90

Angle ACB = 90 - angle DCA = 90-50=40

Answer is option C. 40

===========================

Part 2:

Angle DCB is a right angle.

So, angle DCA + angle ACB = 90

Angle ACB = 90 - angle DCA = 90-60=30

Answer is option B. 30
