The second term of an arithmetic sequence is –5, and the third term is –20. What is the first term?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a₁ = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference d is calculated as

d = a₃ - a₂ = - 20 - (- 5) = - 20 + 5 = - 15

Then

a₂ - a₁ = d , that is

- 5 - a₁ = - 15 ( add 5 to both sides )

- a₁ = - 10 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a₁ = 10

much will Colin have after 7 years? Give your answer to the nearest penny where appropriate.

Answers

Answer: 1,000.77

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 year: 980 + 0.3% = 982.94

After 2 years: 982.94 + 0.3% = 985.89

After 3 years: 985.89 + 0.3% = 988.85

After 4 years: 988.85 + 0.3% = 991.82

After 5 years: 991.82 + 0.3% = 994.80

After 6 years: 994.80 + 0.3% = 997.78

After 7 years: 997.78 + 0.3% = 1,000.77

Which graph represents y as a function of x?

Answers

Answer:

Bottom left.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for any of them to be the graph of a function you would need that given a value of x, you get no more than one value of y. Zero is fine, you just picked an x out of the domain.

In layman's terms it means that if you grab a ruler, a piece of paper, a pen, and you scan the graph moving the edge parallel to the y axis (ie, vertically) you are allowed to touch the graph only once. Top right is out. Bottom left is ok, bottom right is not: you have infinite points of contact in there.

Top left would be fine, if it wasn't for x = 1. In there you have two values marked with a solid dot. That makes it not the graph of a function.

Complete the table shown to the right for the population growth model for a certain country.

Answers

The size of the population increases when the growth rate is positive and

decreases for a negative growth rate.

The completed table is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2003 \ Population (millions)&Projected \ 2029 \ Population \ (millions)&Growth \ rate \ K \\40.5&20.9&-2.255\%\end{array}\right][/tex]

Reasons:

The table is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2003 \ Population (millions)&Projected \ 2029 \ Population \ (millions)&Growth \ rate \ K \\40.5&20.9&\end{array}\right][/tex]

The population in growth rate is given by the following formula;

P = a·(1 + r)ˣ

Where;

a = The initial population in 2003 = 40.5 million

P = The population in 2029 = 20.9 million

x = The number of years = 2029 - 2003 = 26

Therefore;

20.9 = 40.5 × (1 + r)²⁹

[tex]\left (1 + r\right)^{29} = \dfrac{20.9}{40.5}[/tex]

[tex]r = \left(\dfrac{20.9}{40.5} \right)^{\dfrac{1}{29} } - 1 \approx -0.02255[/tex]

The population growth rate is r ≈ -0.02255 = -2.255 %

The completed table is therefore;

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2003 \ Population (millions)&Projected \ 2029 \ Population \ (millions)&Growth \ rate \ K \\40.5&20.9&-2.255\%\end{array}\right][/tex]

What are the roots of the equation x²+2x+17=0 in simplest a+bi form?​

Answers

Answer:

  -1 ±4i

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic can be written in vertex form as ...

  x² +2x +17 = 0

  (x² +2x +1) +16 = 0 . . . . . . . . identify the part that can be a perfect square

  (x +1)² = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16

  x +1 = ±√(-16) = ±4i . . . . take the square root

  x = -1 ±4i . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

The roots of the equation are x = -1-4i and x = -1+4i.

_____

Additional comment

It can be worthwhile to remember the form of a perfect square trinomial:

  (x +a)² = x² +2ax +a²

If you know the coefficient of x, you can use half of it as the constant in each binomial factor.

In the above, we had 2a=2, so a=1 and a²=1. The constant 17 then is resolved into two parts: one part (1) is used to "complete the square" and the other part (16) is the y-coordinate of the vertex. It is used to find the "radical" portion of the roots.

The roots of the equation  [tex]x^2 + 2x + 17 = 0[/tex] are [tex]x = -1 +4i[/tex] and [tex]x = -1 - 4i[/tex].

To find the roots of the equation [tex]x^2 + 2x + 17 = 0[/tex] in simplest a + bi form, we can use the quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula states that for an equation in the form[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex], the roots can be found using the formula:

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

We have a = 1, b = 2, and c = 17.

Substituting these values into the quadratic formula, we get:

[tex]x = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 68}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{-64}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{64i^2}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-2 \pm 8i}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = -1 \pm 4i[/tex]

So, [tex]x = -1 +4i[/tex] and [tex]x=-1-4i[/tex] are roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

If w is the amount of water added, then the concentration of the solution is ...

  salt/solute = 100(0.30)/(100 +w) = 0.10

  30 = 10 +0.10w . . . . . simplify

The number a is about 8 times greater than b.
Find the correct value of a and b.
A. a = 3.1 and b = 2.5
B. a = 2.5 and b = 3.1
C. a = 2 and b = 1.2
D. a = 1.2 and b = 2

Answers

Answer:  None of the answers are viable.

Step-by-step explanation:

a ≅ 8b

a/b ≅ 8

A.  (3.1/2.5) = only slightly greater than 1

B.  2.5/3.1    = slightly less than 1

C.  (2/1.2) = less than 2

D.  1.2/2 = less than 1

None of these answers is viable.

None of the options are correct.

Given,

The number a is about 8 times greater than b.

We need to find the correct value of a and b from the given options.

A. a = 3.1 and b = 2.5

B. a = 2.5 and b = 3.1

C. a = 2 and b = 1.2

D. a = 1.2 and b = 2

What do the mathematical terms mean?

We have,

2 times M = 2x M

2 greater than M = M + 2

2 less than M =  M - 2

Sum = adding

Times = Multiplication

Find the value of a and b.

We have,

The number a is about 8 times greater than b.

We can write it as

a = 8 x b

Find out which option is correct.

A. a = 3.1 and b = 2.5

a = 8 x b

3.1 = 8 x 2.5

3.1 ≠ 20

So this option is incorrect.

B. a = 2.5 and b = 3.1

2.5 = 8 x 3.1

2.5 ≠ 24.8

This option is not correct.

C. a = 2 and b = 1.2

2 = 8 x 1.2

2 ≠ 9.6

This option is not correct.

D. a = 1.2 and b = 2

1.2 = 8 x 2

1.2 ≠ 16

This option is not correct.

Thus none of the options are correct.

What is a fraction pair that is equivalent to 2/15 and 4/9, and in which both fractions have a
denominator that is the least common denominator of 2/15 and 4/9?
45
c-2115,419

Answers

Answer:

  6/45 and 20/45

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator is the least common multiple (LCM) of 9 and 15.

The factors of those numbers are ...

  9 = 3·3

  15 = 3·5

The LCM is the product of the unique factors to their highest powers:

  3·3·5 = 45

__

To make 2/15 have a denominator of 45, we need to multiply by 3/3:

  2/15·3/3 = 6/45

To make 4/9 have a denominator of 45, we need to multiply by 5/5:

  4/9·5/5 = 20/45

The desired fraction pair is 6/45 and 20/45.
