The common difference if there is one is the constant difference that occurs between any term and the term before it.... in this case:
There is no common difference,
dx=18,20,16,18 the difference or velocity is not constant...
d2x=2, -4,2 the acceleration is not constant...
d3x=-6,6 the thrust is not constant
Now we might be tempted to say that:
d4x=12 and say that that is constant and we COULD make a quartic equation fit all the data points, but without further data points in the sequence there is no mathematical proof that the quartic equation would produce accurate data points outside of the range given...
And solving a system of five equations for five unknowns is tedious for such a problem...a^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e=y
Answer:First you have to add all of the shirts together, which gives you: 40
Since 15 of those are black, then you need to put those 15 over the total number of 40, making it 15/40.
Then you must simplify by the highest number that will go into both, and since that number is 5, it will then go into 15 three times and it will go into 40 eight times.
That leaves you with the answer of: 3/8
It means the same used in a question like this, is 25 as much as 25.
Steve lives 8 3/4. You would have to multiply Steve distance from Becky's distance.
Lets do this:-
A. 7 Sandwiches
18 - 7 = 11
7 × $7.75 = $54.25
7 sandwiches cost $54.25.
11 × $4.50 = $49.50
11 soups costs $49.50
49.50 + 54.25 = 103.75
A is not d answer cuz d total of d lunches came to $113.50.
B. 8 sandwiches
18 - 8 = 10
8 × $7.75 = $62
8 sandwiches cost $62.
10 × $4.50 = 45
8 soups costs $45
62 + 45 = 107
B is not d answer cuz d total of d lunches came to $113.50.
C. 9 Sandwiches.
18 - 9 = 9
9 × $7.75 = 69.75
9 sandwiches cost $69.
9 × $4.50 = 40.50
9 soups costs $40.50
69 + 40.50 = 109.5
C is not d answer cuz d total of d lunches came to $113.50.
D. 10 Sandwiches
18 - 10 = 8
10 × $7.75 = $77.75
10 sandwiches cost $77.75.
8 × $4.50 = $36
8 soups costs $36.
77.75 + 36 = <span>113.75
</span>D is not d answer cuz d total of d lunches came to $113.50.
So, based on your answer choices there is no correct choice. <span />
