Find an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

a15 = -53, a16 = -5

A) an = -725 - 48(n - 1)
B) an = -725 + 48(n + 1)
C) an = -725 + 48(n - 1)
D) an = -725 - 48(n + 1)

Answers

Answer 1
an=a1+d(n-1)

every term increases by d amount

so [tex]a_n+d=a_{n+1}[/tex]
therefor
[tex]a_{15}+d=a_{15+1}=a_{16}[/tex]

-53+d=-5
add 53 both sides
d=48

alright
an=a1+d(n-1)
an=a1+48(n-1)
use a15=-53
a15=-53=a1+48(15-1)
-53=a1+48(14)
-53=a1+672
minus 672 both sides
-725=a1

the equation is
an=-725+48(n-1)
answer is C

Are the two triangles below similar?

Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles
No, because there are not two pairs of congruent corresponding angles
Yes, because the corresponding sides are proportional
No, because the corresponding sides are not proportional

Answers

Answer :- Yes the two triangles are similar because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

Explanation:-

In Δ ABC

∠A=30° , ∠C=65 °

By angle sum property of triangle

∠A + ∠B + ∠C= 180°

⇒∠B= 180°-∠A-∠C=180°-30°-65°=85°

⇒∠B=85°

Now in ΔABC and ΔDEF

∠A=∠D=30° and ∠B=∠E=85°

⇒ there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

So by AA-similarity criteria

ΔABC ≈ ΔDEF




Answer:

Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles ABC and DEF are given .

The measure of angles in triangle ABC are:

m<A=30°,m< C=65°,

m<B= 180-(30+65)=85°(measure of sum of angles in any triangle is 180°)

In triangle DEF the measure of the angles are :

m<D=30°,m<E=85°,m<F=180-(30+85)=65°(sum of angles in a triangle add to 180°)

In triangles ABC and DEF,

< A=<D=30°

<B=<E=85°

<C=<F=65°

The two triangles are similar by AAA property.

Final answer:

The simplified expression of 7p³ + 2m³ - 6m³ + 4p - 9p + 6p³ is -4m³ + 13p³ - 5p, which is option d).

Explanation:

To simplify the expression 7p³ + 2m³ - 6m³ + 4p - 9p + 6p³, we need to combine like terms.

Like terms have the same variable raised to the same power.

In this case, terms with p raised to the third power can be combined, and terms with m raised to the third power can also be combined, as well as the terms with just p.

Combine terms with p³: 7p³ + 6p³ = 13p³.Combine terms with m³: 2m³ - 6m³ = -4m³.Combine terms with p: 4p - 9p = -5p.

Now the expression is simplified to -4m³ + 13p³ - 5p, which corresponds to option d).

If x varies directly with y and x = 3.5 when y = 14, find x when y = 18.

Answers

y = kx

x = 3.5 when y = 14
so

14 = 3.5k
k = 14/3.5
k = 4
when y = 18.
y = kx 
18 = 4x
x = 18/4
x = 4.5

answer

when y = 18, x = 4.5

Answer:

the value of x= 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If x varies directly with y and x = 3.5 when y = 14

x varies directly with y , so equation is x= ky

where k is the constant of proportionality

x = 3.5 when y = 14, use the given values and find out k

Plug in the given values in x=k y

3.5= k * 14

Divide by 14 on both sides

0.25= k

So the value of k = 0.25

Now find out x when y= 18

x= ky

x= 0.25 * 18= 4.5

d) A student can belong to both the age groups.

Answers

they would indepedent a
In probability, you study the chances, odds or likelihood of the event occurring. This is determined by dividing the number of possibilities to the total number of events. But terms may come up such as 'mutually exclusive'. Suppose, event A is for students ages 5-10, while event B is for students ages 11-15. The events A and B are said to be mutually exclusive when they do not intersect or meet at some point. In other words, when a student is in group A, he cannot be in group B because that becomes invalid and untrue. That seems logical because a student cannot be both 6 years old and 12 years old, right?

Hence, the answer to this question is letter C.

(15 POINTS) Identify an equation in standard form for an ellipse with its center at the origin, a vertex at (13, 0), and a focus at (12, 0).

Answers

i had this question. the correct answer was B for it.

An equation in standard form for an ellipse with its center at the origin, a vertex at (13, 0), and a focus at (12, 0) is [tex]\bold{\frac{x^2}{169} +\frac{y^2}{25} =1}[/tex]

The correct answer is option (A)

What is equation of ellipse?

"The standard form of equation of ellipse with center (0, 0) is, [tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1[/tex]

What are vertices of the standard ellipse?

"The vertices of the standard ellipse [tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1[/tex] are [tex](\pm a,0)[/tex] "

What is focus of the standard ellipse?

"The foci of the standard ellipse [tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1[/tex] are [tex](\pm c,0)[/tex], where [tex]c^{2} =a^{2}- b^{2}[/tex] "

For given question,

The center of the ellipse is at the origin.

Using the standard form of equation of the ellipse,

[tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1[/tex]

A vertex at (13, 0)

⇒ (a, 0) = (13, 0)

⇒ a = 13

And a focus at (12, 0).

⇒ (c, 0) = (12, 0)

⇒ c = 12

We know, [tex]c^{2}= a^{2}- b^{2}[/tex]

Now, we find the value of b i.e., minor axis

[tex]\Rightarrow 12^{2} =13^{2}- b^{2}\\\\\Rightarrow b^2=169-144\\\\ \Rightarrow b^2=25\\\\\Rightarrow b=\pm 5[/tex]

Substituting these values in the standard form of equation of ellipse with center (0, 0),

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1\\\\\Rightarrow \bold{\frac{x^2}{169} +\frac{y^2}{25} =1}[/tex]

Therefore, an equation in standard form for an ellipse with its center at the origin, a vertex at (13, 0), and a focus at (12, 0) is [tex]\bold{\frac{x^2}{169} +\frac{y^2}{25} =1}[/tex]

Answers

To solve for the roots of a quadratic equation, you use the equation

[tex]x= \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} [/tex]

The parameters a, b and c represent the coefficients of the standard form of the quadratic equation: y = ax^2 + bx + c. Thus, for the equation y = x2 − 8x + 7,

a = 1
b = -8
c = 7

The mistake Joyce made was in Step 1. Because Step 1 is wrong, the rest of the equation is wrong consequently. The mistake was made by Joyce when she assigned b = 8. She forgot to include the negative sign of -8x. 

Her mistake is in the first step, she wrote the equation incorrectly.

Solving quadratic equations:

A general quadratic equation:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

has the solutions:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)

In this case, the equation is:

y = x^2 - 8x + 7

And what Joyce writes in each step is:

Step 1:

x = (-8 ± √(8^2 - 4*1*7))/(2*1)

Then we can already see the mistake.

Notice that in the given equation, we have:

b = -8

And the general solution has:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)

-b would be equal to 8, then what Joyce must have written here is:

x = (8 ± √((-8)^2 - 4*1*7))/(2*1)

Answers

We are given a line with the following data:

r-value = 0.657 (r)
standard deviation of x-coordinates = 2.445 (Sx)
standard deviation of y-coordinates = 9.902 (Sy)

We are asked to find the slope of the line up to 3 decimal places.

To find the slope of the line, based on the data that we have, we can use this formula:

slope, b = r * (Sy / Sx) 

substitute the values to the formula:

b = 0.657 * ( 9.902 / 2.445 )

Solve for the b.

Therefore, the slope of the line is

b. $65
c. $67
d. $68

Answers

I would say D. $68 since the graph shows each bill with coupon being two dollars less than without.

Answer:

d. $68

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the equation of the line.

The slope is defined by

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

Where we are gonna use points (2,0) and (9,7).

[tex]m=\frac{7-0}{9-2}=\frac{7}{7}=1[/tex]

Then, we use the point-slope formula to find the equation.

[tex]y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-0=1(x-2)\\y=x-2[/tex]

So, if David's bill came to $66 after coupon, it means [tex]y=66[/tex].

Replacing this value in the equation, we have

[tex]y=x-2\\66=x-2\\x=66+2\\x=68[/tex]

Therefore, the price without coupon is $68.

Express your answer as a simplified fraction unless otherwise noted.The following table contains data from a study of two airlines which fly to Small Town, USA.If one of the 87 flights is randomly selected, find the probability that the flight selected is an Upstate Airlines flight which was on time.a. 43/87b. 43/76c. 43/48d. 11/76 The depth of the water at the end of a pier changes periodically along with the movement of tides. On a particular day, low tides occur at 12:00 am and 12:30 pm, with a depth of 2.5 m, while high tides occur at 6:15 am and 6:45 pm, with a depth of 5.5 m. Let t = 0 be 12:00 am. Write a cosine model, d = acos(bt) + k, for the depth as a function of time. This amplitude is meters. a = Peter is 2 years older than Winnie. Peter's age is 16 years less than seven times Winnie's age. The equations below model the relationship between Peter's age (p) and Winnie's age (w):p = w + 2p = 7w 16Which is a possible correct method to find Peter's and Winnie's ages? Solve w + 2 = 7w 16 to find the value of w. Solve p + 2 = 7p 16 to find the value of p. Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x axis. Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y axis. What was an important way that northern and southern women contributed to the war effort?
