Answer:

x = 1.2

y = 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y= -2x+9

2) 8x-3=y

Substitute y in equation 1 using y in equation 2.

8x - 3 = -2x + 9

+ 3 on both sides

8x = -2x + 12

+ 2x on both sides

10x = 12

x = 1.2

To find y, plug in x

8x - 3 = y

9.6 - 3 = y

6.6 = y

Hope this helps :)

A. What is the explicit definition for this sequence? b. How far does she run on day 19?

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

(a) $a_n=1+\frac{1}{6}(n-1)$

(b) 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sequence of run is an arithmetic sequence.

Miles traveled on day 1 = 1 mile

Miles traveled on day 7 = 2 miles

(a).

Explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is given as:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_n\to n^{th}\ term\\a_1\to first\ term\\n\to number\ of\ terms\\d\to \textrm{common difference}$

Here, $a_1=1,a_7=2$

So,

$a_7=a_1+(7-1)d\\2=1+6d\\6d=2-1\\d=\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, the explicit definition of the above sequence is given as:

$a_n=1+\frac{1}{6}(n-1)$

Where, $a_n$ is the miles covered on $n^{th}$ day.

(b)

In order to find the distance covered by her on day 19, we plug in 19 for n in the above formula. This gives,

$a_{19}=1+\frac{1}{6}(19-1)\\\\a_{19}=1+\frac{1}{6}(18)\\\\a_{19}=1+3=4\ mi$

Therefore, the number of miles covered by her on day 19 is 4 miles.

Find the missing value of the direct variation (2,5) (5,y)

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The missing value y=12.5 and we have (5,12.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used for direct variation is:

$y\: \alpha \:x\\y=kx$

We need to find missing value (2,5)(5,y)

First we will find k, and then y

We have x=2, y=5

Find k:

$y=kx\\5=k(2)\\k=\frac{5}{2}\\k=2.5$

Now, we cam find missing value in (5,y)

We have x=5, k=2.5 and y=?

$y=kx\\y=2.5(5)\\y=12.5$

So, the missing value y=12.5 and we have (5,12.5)
