Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is

We group the linear terms to get:


We compare to

This means
a=1, b=-6 and c=-10
We plug in the values into the quadratic formula:

This gives us





The solutions are

or

Since there is a common difference of one, this is an arithmetic sequence of the form a(n)=a+d(n-1) which in this case is:
a(n)=15+1(n-1)
All arithmetic sequences have a sum which is equal to the average of the first and last terms time the number of terms, mathematically:
s(n)=(2an+dn^2-dn)/2 (that is just the result of ((a+a+d(n-1))(n/2)) )
Since a=15 and d=1 this becomes:
s(n)=(30n+n^2-n)/2
s(n)=(n^2+29n)/2 so
s(10)=(100+290)/2
s(10)=195 logs
Complete question :
A chef at a restaurant uses 12 pounds of butter each day. About how many grams of butter does the chef use each day? use the conversion factors 16 oz/1 lb and 28.35 grams/1oz
Answer:
5,424 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert using the conversion factor :
Number of pounds of butter * (16 oz/1) * (28.35) /1
Hence,
12 * 16oz/ 1 * 28.35/1
(12 * 16 * 28)
= 5,424 grams
Answer:
of the cake
Step-by-step explanation:
add
and
to see the total amount of cake eaten.
a. find the common denominator: 8 x 3 = 24 and 6 x 4 = 24
b. multiply accordingly to get the correct numerator:
+ 
c. add:
+
= 
subtract found value from total to find left over cake.
a. 24 - 7 = 14
simplify.
a.
= 
You are left with
of the cake.
