Find the 15th term of this arithmetic sequence for 20,26,32,38,44

Mathematics
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do it, though we need to know how it is affected.

20+6=26

26+6=32

32+6=38

38+6=44

Thus, you are adding 6 for each term.

1. You do it manually...(yes.)

I'll number it one by one

1.20

2.26

3.32

4.38

5.44

6.50

7.56

8.62

9.68

10.74

11.80

12.86

13.92

14.98

15.104

The 15th term is 104.

2. This method is easier. As shown above, there is a pattern. We can apply it using this formula:
20+6(n-1)

You can get this formula from the facts that:
-you start off with an additional added 8

-you add 6 every time

-if we do it 6n then it would be incorrect, with an extra 6 for each

-the formula is correct; you can test it for terms 2,3,4,5 like this:

20+6=26

20+2x6=32

20+3x6=38

20+4x6=44

To find the 15th term, you can:

20+14x6=20+84=104.

(2.5 points) The probability that an airplane accident which is due to structural failure is diagnosed correctly is 0.85 and the
Nikitich [7]

Answer: 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability. The first event is the airplane accident being caused by structural failure. The probability of it being due to structural failure is 0.3 and the probability of it not being due to structural failure is 0.7. The second event involves the diagnosis of the event. If a plane fails due to structural failure, the probability that it will be diagnosed and the results will say it was due to structural failure is 0.85, and the probability that the diagnosis is unable to identify that it was because of a structural failure is 0.15. If the plane were to fail as a result of some other reason aside structural failure, the probability that the diagnosis will show that it was as a result of structural failure is 0.35 and the probability of the diagnosis showing that is is not as a result of structural failure is 0.65. To find the probability that an airplane failed due to structural failure given that it was diagnosed that it failed due to some malfunction, this is the equation;

p = (probability of plane failing and diagnosis reporting that the failure was due to structural failure)/ (probability of diagnosis reporting that failure was due to structural failure)

p = (0.3*0.85)/((0.3*0.85) + (0.7*0.35))

p = 0.51

The container that holds the water for the football team is 2/3
Kipish [7]

Answer:

18 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll find out how much of the total container was lost when pouring out by subtracting 2/3 from 1/2.

2/3 = 4/6

1/2 = 3/6

4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

1/6 of the total amount the container could hold was lost when 3 gallons was poured out. This means that 1/6 of the container equals to 3 gallons. We can then simply multiply 3 by 6 to find the number of gallons of liquid the container can hold.

3 * 6 = 18 gallons

Checking my answer:

18 * 2/3 = 6 * 2 = 12

12 - 3 = 9

1/2 of 18 = 9

This means that our answer is correct.

Given the equation 4x − 26 = 2x − 4, which order of operations completely solves for x?
scoray [572]
4x - 26 = 2x - 4....subtract 2x from both sides
4x - 2x - 26 = -4...add 26 to both sides
4x - 2x = -4 + 26...combine terms
2x = 22...divide both sides by 2
x = 22/2 = 11

OR
4x - 26 = 2x - 4.....subtract 4x from both sides
-26 = 2x - 4x - 4....add 4 to both sides
-26 + 4 = 2x - 4x...combine terms
-22 = -2x....divide both sides by -2
-22/-2 = x
11 = x
