In a certain arithmetic sequence, if -4 is the first term and 10 is the third term, which term is 157?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a₁₅₇ = 1,088

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = a₁ + d(n-1); where 'd' if common difference

a₁₅₇ = -4 + 7(156)

      = -4 + 1092

      = 1,088

Answer 2

Answer:

157 is the 24th term

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arithmetic sequences is an=a1+(n-1)d,

where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term, n is the term position, and d is the common difference

First, we need to find the common difference using the 10.

Since it's the third term, we have 10=-4+(3-1)d

Solving for d gives us d=7

Next, we need to find the term number of 157

Thus, we have 157=-4+(n-1)*7

Solving for n gives us n=24

We can check it like this: Following order of operations (i.e. PEMDAS) gives us 24-1=23*7=161-4=157

A water pail in your backyard has a small hole in it. You notice that it has drained a total of 2.5 liters in 4 days. What is the average change in water volume each day?

Answers

Answer:

0.625 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

volume drained= 2.5Liters

Time= 4 days

Now the if 4 days leakage will produce a volume of 2.5Liters

Then 1 day will produce a volume of x liters

cross multiply

4x= 2.5

x= 2.5/4

x= 0.625 liters per day

Hence, each day will produce  0.625 liters

How do you factor the quadratic equation 3x^2 + 8x + 3 to find the roots?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps u!!

The quadratic is not factorable, to figure this out use this formula (b^2-4ac) to figure out the discriminant. If the discriminant comes out to be a perfect square or equal to zero then we can say it’s factorable if it does not meet those requirements it’s not. In this problem it’s 8^2-4*3*3. Simplify and you get 64-36 which is equal to 28. 28 is not a perfect square or equal to zero therefore this is not factorable. If you need the root the quadratic formula would be a good option also look on the bottom if that’s what u need.

Find the second derivative of the function.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \displaystyle d)\frac{d ^{2} y}{d{x}^{2} } = 2 + \frac{ 42}{ {x}^{4} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to figure out the second derivative of the following:

[tex] \displaystyle y = \frac{ {x}^{4} + 7}{ {x}^{2} } [/tex]

we can rewrite it thus rewrite:

[tex] \displaystyle y = {x}^{2} + 7 {x}^{ - 2} [/tex]

take derivative in both sides:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}( {x}^{2} + 7 {x}^{ - 2} )[/tex]

by sum derivation we obtain:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}{x}^{2} + \frac{d}{dx} 7 {x}^{ - 2}[/tex]

by exponent derivation we acquire:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = 2{x}^{} - 14 {x}^{ - 3}[/tex]

take derivative In both sides once again:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{d ^{2} y}{d{x}^{2} } = \frac{d}{d x } (2{x}^{} - 14 {x}^{ - 3})[/tex]

use difference rule which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{d ^{2} y}{d{x}^{2} } = \frac{d}{d x } 2{x}^{} - \frac{d}{dx} 14{x}^{ - 3}[/tex]

use exponent derivation which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{d ^{2} y}{d{x}^{2} } = 2 + 42{x}^{ - 4}[/tex]

by law of exponent we get:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{d ^{2} y}{d{x}^{2} } = 2 + \frac{ 42}{ {x}^{4} }[/tex]

hence, our answer is d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope can be represented as rise over run (change y-values over change in x-values). Since the y-value is changing by -2 every time the x-value is changing by 2, the slope of the line must be [tex]\frac{-2}{2}=-1[/tex].

In slope-intercept form [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], [tex]m[/tex] represents the slope of the line, [tex]b[/tex] represents the y-intercept, and [tex](x, y)[/tex] represent the coordinates of any point the line passes through.

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

V_cylinder = pi r^2 h

h = 36

V_cylinder = 36 pi r^2

V_Sphere = 4/3 * pi * r^3

But the volumes are given as equal

36pi r^2 = (4/3) pi r^3                           divide by pi r^2

36 =  4/3 r                                             Multiply both sides by3/4

36 * 3/4 = r

Two basketballs are thrown along different paths. Determine if the basketballs’ paths are parallel to each
other, perpendicular or neither. Explain your reasoning.

o The first basketball is along the path 3x + 4y = 12
o The second basketball is along the path -6x – 8y = 24

Answers

Answer:

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent. Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.

So, let's find the slope of each equation.

The first basketball is modeled by:

[tex]\displaystyle 3x+4y=12[/tex]

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3x from both sides:

[tex]4y=-3x+12[/tex]

And divide both sides by four:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x+3[/tex]

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.

The second basketball is modeled by:

[tex]-6x-8y=24[/tex]

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6x to both sides:

[tex]-8y=6x+24[/tex]

And divide both sides by negative eight:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3[/tex]

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.
