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

A square dartboard contains a red square and a blue square that overlap. A dart hits a random point on the board.
FinnZ [79.3K]
They want to know the probability of landing in the blue and red section at the same time. In other words, they want to know the probability of landing in the purple section.

We'll need the area of the purple square. This square is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. This is because 4 - 2.5 = 1.5

So the purple square has an area of 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 square inches

Divide this over the total area of the largest square (which is 9x9) to get 2.25/81 = 0.02777... where the 7's go on forever

Round that to two decimal places. The final answer is 0.03

Side note: 2.25/81 is equivalent to the reduced fraction 1/36 (express 2.25/81 as 225/8100 and then divide both parts by the GCF 225)

ra1l [238]

Answer:

x = -2.32, 10.32 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x - 24 = 0

x = [ - (-8) +/- sqrt (((-8)^2 - 4*1*(-24)] / 2

= 4 +/- sqrt160/2

= 4 +/- 6.3245

=  -2.32, 10.32.
