(2x + 23), (8x + 2) and (20x – 52) are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.
Prove that the common difference of the sequence is 12

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (2x + 23), (8x + 2) and (20x - 52) are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

(8x + 2) - (2x + 23) = (20x - 52) - (8x + 2)

or, 6x - 21 = 12x - 54

or, 12x - 6x = - 21 + 54 = 33

or, 6x = 33

or, 2x = 11

∴ x = 11/2

∴2x + 23 = 2 × 11/2 + 23 = 34

8x + 2 = 8 × 11/2 + 2 = 46 and

20x - 52 = 20 × 11/2 - 52 = 110 - 52 = 58

34, 46 and 58 are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

∴ Common difference(d) = 46 - 34 = 58 - 46 = 12, it is proved.

Hence, the common difference of the sequence is 12.

The given relation is not a function.

What is Function?

A function is a relation from a set A to a set B where the elements in set A only maps to one and only one image in set B. No elements in set A has more than one image in set B.

Given a table of x and y values.

We have to determine the relation is a function or not.

By the definition of functions, a relation is a function if an input value does not map to two output values.

That is, an x value will not map to two y values.

From the table,

x = 1 maps to two y values -2 and -3.

This is not possible for functions.

So this is not a function.

Hence the relation is not a function.

a. 3/10

b. 1/10

c. 4/10 or 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 4 brown, 3 green, 2 red, and 1 purple if you add those all up you get 10. Since there is a total of 10 marbles in the bag and 3 of those are green 3/10 of the marbles are green. Same goes with purple, 1 of the 10 marbles in the bag is purple.

To solve for green and purple you must add them. Since there is 3 green and 1 purple that gives you 4. 4 out of 10 marbles are green or purple. 4/10 can also be simplified to 2/5

In an aquarium, there are starfish and octopi in a tank. The total number of animals in the tank is 30. The total number of legs in the tank is 171. Assuming that all animals have all their legs, find the number of each type of animal in the tank. (Starfish have 5 legs and Octopus have 8 legs)

(solve using substitution method. MUST SHOW WORK)

Answers

There are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

Let the number of sharks in the aquarium be xLet the number of octopi in the tank be y

If the total number of animals in the tank is 30, therefore;

x + y = 30 ....................... 1

If the total number of legs in the tank is 171 with starfish having 5 legs and Octopus having 8 legs, the required expression will be:

5x + 8y = 171 ................ 2

From equation 1, x = 30 - y ................... 3

Substitute equation 3 into 2 to have:

5(30-y) + 8y = 171

150 - 5y + 8y = 171

3y = 171 - 150

3y = 21

y = 7

Recall that x = 30 - y

x = 30 - 7

x = 23

Hence there are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

the sum of all but one interior angle of a heptagon is 776°. what is the measure of the final interior angle?

Answers

Answer:

The final interior angle = 124°

Step-by-step explanation:

A heptagon has 7 sides. The sum of the interior angles formula:

The sum of the interior angles =  (n - 2)180 where n = number of sides.

The sum of the interior angles= (7 - 2)180° = 900°

Six interior angles = 776°.

The final interior angle + six interior angle = 900°

The final interior angle + 776° = 900°      

The final interior angle = 900° - 776°

The final interior angle = 124°

Maggie has a collection of 1,200 Pennies. Of these, 25% are dated before 1980, 35% are dated from 1980-2000.and the rest are dated after 2000
How many pennies in Maggie's collection are dated after 2000?
A 480 B 720 C 40 D 60

Answers

Answer:

A- 480

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I'm going to work out 25% of 1200 for the before 1980 pennies.

10% = 120

20% = 240

5% = 60

240 + 60 = 300 pennies before 1980.

Next, work out 35% of 1200 instead.

20% = 240

+ 10%

30% = 360

+ 5% = 60

35% = 420 pennies from 1980-2000

Finally, work out how many pennies are leftover.

300 + 420 = 720

1200 - 720 = 480

A is the answer.

A dog's leash is tied to a pole while the owners go into a restaurant to get the dog
some water. If the leash is 7 feet long and the dog can walk 180 degrees in a semi-
circle, how many feet can he walk if he extends the leash as far as it can go? Round
your answer to the nearest foot, and enter the number only.

Answers

Answer:

22 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc Length= Ø / 360 degrees * 2pir

(2pir = 2 * pi * radius)

Given: r = 7 feet

Ø = 180 so the fraction of the circle we seek is 180/360 = 1/2

Arc length: 1/2*2pi*7 = 21.99 ft

22 ft when rounded!

The length of feet he can walk if he extends the leash as far as it can go will be 22 feet.

What is the length of the arc of the circle?

The arc length formula for a circle is times the radius of a circle. Arc length ( Angle x radius ) is a way to express the arc length formula in radians.

Given that a dog's leash is tied to a pole while the owners go into a restaurant to get the dog some water. The leash is 7 feet long and the dog can walk 180 degrees in a semi-circle.

The length of the arc will be calculated as below:-

Arc Length= Ø / 360 degrees * 2pir

(2πr = 2x π x radius)

r = 7 feet and Ø = 180 the fraction of the circle we seek is 180/360 = 1/2

Arc length =  1/2  x 2 π x 7 = 21.99 ft

Therefore, the length of feet he can walk if he extends the leash as far as it can go will be 22 feet.
