What is the fifth term of the linear sequence which begins 20, 14, 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
JulijaS [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The fifth term is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence has a common difference therefore, it is an arithmetic sequence

The formula for arithmetic sequence is

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

<em>where,</em>

<em>an is the nth term,</em>

<em>a1 is the first term,</em>

<em>n is the term number and</em>

<em>d is the common difference</em>

<u>Find the 5th term.</u>

an = a1 + ( n-1 ) d

a5 = 20 + ( 5-1 ) -6

a5 = 20+ ( -24 )

a5 = -4

1. Chris takes 25 minutes to replace one car tyre.
vekshin1

Chris and Jim must replace a <em>total</em> quantity of 17 tyres.

<h3>What is the minimum number of tyres to be replaced?</h3>

In this problem we must use an inequality of the form f(x) ≥ a, where f(x) is the difference between the number of tyres replaced by Jim and the number of tyres replaced by Chris:

(25/20) · x - x ≥ 3

(5/20) · x ≥ 3

x ≥ 12

Then, the <em>minimum</em> number of tyres to be replaced is n = 15 + 12 = 17 tyres.

Infections seldom start with a single bacterium. Suppose that you cut yourself on a rusty nail that puts 25
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: There would be 12,000 bacteria 8 hours after the initial infection.

Step-by-step explanation: You start with 25 cells and if they divide every 15 minutes, 25 multiplied by 15 gets you 375 cells every quarter of an hour. Then if you multiply that by the 32 quarter hours, you get 12,000 cells. To check that you can also multiply 25 by 15, still 375, then 375 by 4 for each quarter of the hour, then that gets you 1,500 cells every hour. If you multiply that by 8 for the 8 hours they have time to divide, you still get 12,000 cells.

I hope this helps!
