Hi Looking for A helping hand


The first term in an arithmetic sequences is -9. The fifth term in the sequences is 15. The tenth term in the sequences is 45. Write the explicit form that would be used to find the nth term in the sequence. Show the steps you took to write the simplified explicit form.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

an = a1 + 6(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = -9, a5= 15, a10 = 45

Since is an arithmetic sequence we only add or subtract something to get to the next term. Since we got from -9 to 15 we know that we must add something and that we add it 4 times the same amount to get from -9 to 15.

a1= -9

a2= -9+6 = -3

a3= -3+6 = 3

a4= 3+6 = 9

a5= 9+6 = 15

We add 6 each time.

The explicit formula is an = a1 + 6(n-1) because

for example a5 = a1 the first term + 6* (5-1) times

                    a5 = -9 + 6* 4 = -9 + 24 = 15✅

                    a10 = a1 + 6* (10-1)

                    a10 = -9 + 6*9 = 45✅

Step-by-step explanation:

Brainliest Please!

The passages from the story "Thank You, Ma'am" that support the theme that respectful treatment encourages mutual respect are: "The woman did not ask the boy anything about where he lived, or his folks, or anything else that would embarrass him." "The water dripping from his face, the boy looked at her. There was a long pause. A very long pause. After he had dried his face and not knowing what else to do dried it again, the boy turned around, wondering what next." and "Then, Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face,” said the woman, whereupon she turned him loose—at last. Roger looked at the door—looked at the woman—looked at the door—and went to the sink." Correct options are 2, 3 and 4.

These passages highlight how the woman treats the boy, Roger, with kindness and respect despite his attempt to steal her purse. Her understanding and respectful treatment lead Roger to reflect on his actions and ultimately decide to follow her guidance. This illustrates how respectful treatment encourages mutual respect between the characters.

The difference between two numbers is 5, and 2 times the lesser number is 18 more than the greater number. Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

Let x and y be the numbers, with x the larger one.

x - y = 5

2y = x + 18

Then solve this system of equations:

x - y = 5

x - 2y = -18

Subtract bottom equation from top equation and get

y = 23

So x = y + 5 = 23 + 5 = 28

A squirrel burrowed 10 holes in 8 minutes. How many holes could the squirrel burrow in 12 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Fast and loose: To go from 8 to 12 minutes you're adding half the time (4 minutes). So it has time to burrow only half the holes in the extra time, so 5. Total, 10+5=15.

Crunching numbers: it's a simple proportion:[tex]10:8 = x :12[/tex] from which, cross-multiplying you get [tex]8x=12\times10 \rightarrow 8x=120 \rightarrow x=15[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  y  

 

 [1]    y = 5x - 3

// Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [2]

  [2]    -5•(5x-3) - x = -11

A mixture of paint calls for 1/3 cups of red paint and 1/2 cup of yellow paint. How many cups of red paint would be needed for every 1 cup of yellow paint?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cup of yellow paint = 2×1/2 cup.

and that requires then also 2×1/3 Co red paint.

so, 1 cup of yellow paint mixes with 2/3 cups of red paint.

2 and 3 have a smallest common multiple (smallest number that is divisible by both numbers without remainder) of 6.

so, we need to get 6 units of each for a whole number ratio :

6×1/2 = 3 cups of yellow paint mix with 6×1/3 = 2 cups of red paint.

The total length of 5 belts and 3 shoe laces is 4.2 m. The total length of 3 shoe laces is equal to the length of 2 belts

b) Find the total length of 7 belts and 2 shoe laces

Answers

Answer:

a= 0.84m

b= 7m

i tried my best but im not sure of the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+3y=4.2

2x=3y

x = 4.2-3y/5

2*(4.2-3y/5) = 3y

=1.68/3 = 0.56

y=0.56

2x = 3*0.56

x = 0.84

a) The length of one belt (b) is 0.6 meters, or 60 centimeters.

b) The total length of 7 belts and 2 shoe laces is: 5 meters.

Let the length of one belt be "b" meters, and the length of one shoe lace be "s" meters.

a) Find the length of a belt:

According to the given information, the total length of 5 belts and 3 shoe laces is 4.2 meters. We can express this information as an equation:

5b + 3s = 4.2

b) Find the total length of 7 belts and 2 shoe laces:

The total length of 3 shoe laces is equal to the length of 2 belts. We can express this information as another equation:

3s = 2b

Now, we can use these two equations to solve for the values of "b" and "s."

Step 1: Solve the second equation for "s":

3s = 2b

Divide both sides by 3:

s = (2/3)b

Step 2: Substitute the value of "s" from the second equation into the first equation:

5b + 3((2/3)b) = 4.2

5b + 2b = 4.2

7b = 4.2

Step 3: Solve for "b":

b = 4.2 / 7

b = 0.6

Now that we have the value of "b," we can find the value of "s" using the second equation:

s = (2/3)b

s = (2/3) * 0.6

s = 0.4

Let's call the two numbers x and 52-x.

Their product is [tex]p(x) = x(52-x)=52x-x^2[/tex]. Now, if you know calculus, you take it's derivative, see where it goes to 0, and determine what kind of critical point is that. Or - especially if you don't know what a derivative is - you stare at it long enough, and realize that that's the equation of a parabola. pointing downward. It means it has a maximum at its vertex, and the vertex has its first coordinate in the point [tex]x_v= -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{52}{2)(-1)} = 26[/tex] The two numbers are, then 26 and 52-26=26.

7x-15y=2 , x+2y=3 By subtition method​

Answers

Answer:

([tex]\frac{49}{29},\frac{19}{29}[/tex])

Explanation:

7x - 15y = 2  (1)

x + 2y = 3 (2)

x + 2y = 3

x + 2y - 2y = 3 - 2y

x = 3 - 2y  (3)

Substitute (3) to (1)

7x - 15y = 2

7(3 - 2y) - 15y = 2

21 - 14y -15y = 2

21 - 21 - 29y = 2 - 21

-29y = -19

y = [tex]\frac{19}{29}[/tex]  (4)

Plug (4) into (2)

x + 2y = 3

x + 2[tex]\frac{19}{29}[/tex] = 3

x + [tex]\frac{38}{29}[/tex] = 3

x = 3 - [tex]\frac{38}{29}[/tex]

A piano teacher has 4 1/2 hours available to teach each night. One lesson will last 3/4 of an hour. How many lessons can the teacher schedule each night?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/2 = 9/2

so, the calculation is simply how often 3/4 fits into 9/2.

and that is done by division :

9/2 / 3/4

and as we know, to divide by a fraction is the same as to multiply with the upside-down fraction.

so,

9/2 / 3/4 = 9/2 × 4/3 = (9×4)/(2×3) = 3×2/1 = 6

so, without any breaks the teacher can schedule 6 lessons each night.
