The third term of an A.P is 4m - 2n. If the ninth term of the progression is 2m - 8n. Find the common difference in terms of m and n​

Answers

Answer 1

Let [tex]a_n[/tex] denote the n-th term in the progression. So

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}+d[/tex]

for some constant difference between terms d.

Solve for [tex]a_n[/tex] explicitly:

[tex]a_4=a_3+d[/tex]

[tex]a_5=a_4+d=a_3+2d[/tex]

[tex]a_6=a_5+d=a_3+3d[/tex]

and so on, up to

[tex]a_n=a_3+(n-3)d[/tex]

We're told that the third term is [tex]a_3=4m-2n[/tex], and the ninth term is [tex]a_9=2m-8n[/tex], and according to the recursive rule above, we have

[tex]a_9=a_3+6d[/tex]

Solve for d :

[tex]2m-8n=(4m-2n)+6d[/tex]

[tex]-2m-6n=6d[/tex]

[tex]d=-\dfrac{2m+6n}6=\boxed{-\dfrac{m+3n}3}[/tex]

Mrs. Santos can cook the menu for a party in 4 hours. Mr. Salonga can work to fast as she can. If they work together to cook, how many hours will it cake them to finish cooking.​

Answers

2 hours and 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be Mrs Santos

Let b be Mr. Salonga

Mrs. Santos can cook the menu for a party in 4 hours

a = 4 hours

Mr. Salonga can work twice as fast as she can.

b = 2 ( 4) = 8 hours

The word time formula is

1/a +1 /b = 1/t

Where t is the total time

Substitute the values

1/4 + 1/8 = 1/t

1/4 + 1/8 = 2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8

Therefore

3/8 = 1/t

Doing cross multiplication

3*t = 1 * 8

3t = 8

Dividing both sides by 3

3t/3 = 8/3

t = 8/3 hours

t =2 \frac{2}{3}t=2

6a(12a – 9)
6a(18a – 12)

Answers

it would be 6(4a2 - 3)

What is the cardinal number of the set containing all negative integers greater than −8?

Answers

Answer: positive 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Cardinal number of the set containing all negative integers greater than −8 is 7.

What are cardinal number?

In mathematics,cardinal numbers or cardinals for short, are generalization of the natural numbers used to measure the cardinality of sets. The cardinality of a finite set is a natural number: the number of elements in the set.

Now the given set is all negative integers greater than -8.

Let S be the set,so

S = {-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1}

now to find the cardinality, we see that set S has 7 elements.

Cardinality of Set S is 7.

Hence, cardinal number of the set containing all negative integers greater than −8 is 7.

If f(–2) = 0, what are all the factors of the function f(x)=x3-2x2-68x-120 ? Use the Remainder Theorem.

Answers

Answer:

it would be option C)  (x – 10)(x + 2)(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to divide x^3 -2x^2 -68x -120 by x + 2 to get x^2 - 4x -60 and then factor

The factors of the function are  (x + 2)(x - 10)(x + 6).

What is a polynomial?

Any expression which is formed by using constants, variables, and exponents is polynomial, it is solved with the help of mathematical operators. Polynomial is made by the parts "poly" and "nominal"  here "poly" means many and "nomial" means terms.

Given f(-2) = 0

f(x) = x³ - 2x² - 68x - 120  .........(1)

one factor of function is x + 2

divide the function by x + 2

multiply x² by x +2

x²(x + 2) = x³ + 2x²

subtract the term from equation 1 we get,

x³ - 2x² - 68x - 120 - x³ - 2x²

= -4x² - 68x -120 ......(2)

now multiply -4x by x + 2

-4x(x + 2) = -4x² - 8x

subtract the term from equation 2 we get

-4x² - 68x -120 - (-4x² - 8x)

-60x - 120 ........(3)

again multiply -60 by (x + 2)

-60(x + 2) = -60x - 120

subtract from equation 3

-60x - 120 - (-60x - 120) = 0

The quotient we get from the division is,

x² - 4x - 60

here are the factors of x² - 4x - 60 = (x - 10)(x + 6)

Hence, the factors of polynomials are (x + 2)(x - 10)(x + 6).

At the restaurant, the cost of the meal before tax was
$40. The tax is 8.5%, and Sheri wants to leave at least
an 18% tip. Explain how to approximate the total cost of
the meal.

Answers

Answer:

so you add then multiply then subtract

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

First we estimate the percent's. 8.5% - 10%, 18% - 20%. Then we do the equation. If you add percent's you get 30% multiply that by 40 and you get 12. Add that to you problem and you get $52.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tax and gratuity were 4 and 8 dollars you can just add those up to the 40, but I did it another way.

This is the sample response if you want a better explanation.

The gratuity is about 20% of $40, which is $8. The tax is about 10% of $40, which is $4. So, the total cost is about $40 + $8 + $4 = $52.

Ms. Smith has 132 stickers to give to her students. She has 25 students. If she gives the same number of stickers to each of her students, how many stickers will she have left over? *

Answers

Answer: 7

To find the remaining amount, we must multiply up to 132.

25 x 5 = 125

Subtract 125 from 132.

132 - 125 = 7

Answer = 7

The number of stickers Ms. Smith has leftover is 7.

Ms. Smith has 132 stickers and 25 students. She gives each student the same number of stickers. In order to determine the number of stickers she would have left, the number of stickers each student got has to be determined first. The stickers each student got can be determined by dividing the total number of stickers by the total number of stickers.

Total number of stickers each student got = total number of stickers / total number of students

132 / 25 = 5 (to the nearest whole number).

The total number of stickers distributed.

5 x 25 = 125.

The total amount of stickers left = 132 - 125 = 7 stickers.

A circular race track has a diameter of 120 ft.about how long would one lap of the track be

Answers

Answer:

The length of one lap of the track would be about 377 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of any circular path is equal to the circumference of the circular pathThe circumference of a circle C = π d, where d is the lengths of its diameter

∵ A circular race track has a diameter of 120 feet

→ That means the length of each lap equal the circumference of the track

The length of one lap = C

∵ The diameter of the track is 120 feet

d = 120 feet

∵ C = πd

∴ C = π(120)

→ Use π = 3.141

∴ C = (3.141)(120)

∴ C = 376.92 feet

→ Round it to the nearest whole number

C ≅ 377 feet

The length of one lap of the track would be about 377 feet
