The 12th term of the arithmetic sequence is 10.5. The 18th term of this sequence is 13.5. Find the common difference and the first term.

Answers

Answer 1
1st way:

let the n'th term be called x, and the value of the term y,

then there is a function y=a*x + b

that will give us all term we want.

this formula is also used for straight lines.

we just need a and b. we already got two data points. we can just plug the known x/y pairs into the formula

10.5 = a*12 + b

13.5 = a*18 + b

now lets manipulate these lines.

multiply the first line by 3 and the second line by 2

31.5 = a*36 + 3b

27 = a*36 + 2b

subtract the second line from the first line

4.5 = b

yey, we now know b, let's plus b into either line from above, I'll go with the first one, looks easier.

10.5 = a*12 + 4.5

6 = a*12

0.5 = a

now y=a*x + b can be filled with a and b

y = 0.5 * x + 4.5

for x=1 (the first term) it's f(1)=5

each step is 0.5, hence the common difference.

2and way:

(13.5-10.5)/(18-12)

= 3 / 6

= 0.5

we got the comment difference by looking at the full difference over 6 steps and divined by these 6 steps.

from step 12 to step one it's 11 steps down

10.5 - 0.5*11

= 10.5 - 5.5

= 5

okay I admit... 2and way to do it might be faster and more intuitive... :D

A cylindrical vase has a volume of 192.5 cubic centimeters. The height of this vase is 5 centimeters. The formula for the volume of the cylinder is πr^2h where r is the radius and h is the height of the vase. Find the radius of this vase.(Given that π ≈ 22 / 7 )

Answers

Answer:

3.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

v = πr²h

r = radius

π = 22/7

h = height

192.5 = 22/7 x 5 x r²

divide both sides of the equation by (7/22 x 1/5)

192.5 x 7/22 x 1/5 = r²

r² = 12.25

find the square root of both sides

r = 3.5cm

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

So,

[tex]circumference = 2\pi \: r \\ = > circumference = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{63 \: cm}{2} \\ = > circumference = 2 \times \frac{11}{7} \times 63 \: cm \\ = > circumference = 2 \times 11 \times 9 \: cm \\ = > circumference = 198 \: cm[/tex]

Answer: Therefore, the circumference of circle is 198 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter = 63 cm

radius = 63/2 = 31.5 cm

circumference = ?

circumference or perimeter of circle = 2*pi*r

= 2*(22/7)*31.5

When they ask for combining the variable terms, you take one of the variable terms and move to the other side of the equation and change its sign. From there, you cross multiply those variable terms and simplify. Once you simplify, you look at the denominator and that will be your answer.
Similarly for the constant terms, you take one of the constant terms and move to the other side of the equation and change its sign. Again, you cross multiply these two constant terms and simplify. The denominator you get after simplification will be your answer.

Answers:

LCD needed to combine the variables:  15

LCD needed to combine the constants:  21

==============================================

Explanation:

If two numbers m and n do not have any common factors (other than 1), then the LCM is m*n. We simply multiply the values.

So for example, the LCM of 2 and 3 is 2*3 = 6.

For the variable terms, the denominators are 5 and 3. So the LCM is 5*3 = 15, and this is the LCD of those variable fractions.

Similarly, the LCD of the constant terms is 21 because 7*3 = 21.

--------

Again, for all of these examples, the two values had no factors other than 1 in common. If you were dealing with something like the LCM of 8 and 12, then the LCM would not be 8*12 = 96. But we can fix things by dividing that by 4 to get 96/4 = 24 which is the true LCM here.

So the more generalized formula would be (m*n)/(GCF of m and n)

This formula works for the previous section because the GCF was 1.

Which point should Julio use to determine the amount of pizza sauce he needs to bring?
A
B
C
D
On a coordinate plane, a graph titled Pizza Recipe has Pizzas on the x-axis and Cups of Pizza Sauce on the y-axis. Point A is (3, 2), point B is (4, 2.6), point C is (4.5, 3), point D is (6, 4).

Answers

Answer:

The question is incomplete, but after a small search I've found that the complete question is something like:

To celebrate something, a teacher will make pizzas for the class.

There are 30 students in his class and each pizza serves 8

Julio will bring the pizza sauce. Which point should Julio use to determine the amount of pizza sauce he needs to bring?

In a graph, the vertical axis is represented with the variable y, which is defined as the dependent variable, while the horizontal axis represents the variable x, which is the independent variable.

The notation for a point in that graph is (x, y)

Here, we know that the x-axis represents the number of pizzas, and the y-axis represents the number of cups of pizza sauce needed for the x pizzas.

So, for example, the point (3, 2) means that:

for x = 3 pizzas, you need y = 2 cups of pizza sauce.

So, now let's find the number of pizzas that will feed the whole class.

There are 30 students, Each pizza serves for 8.

Then the number of pizzas needed is:

30/8 = 3.75 pizzas.

But we can round it to 4 pizzas because making a 0.75 of a pizza does not make a lot of sense.

Then we could use point B, which is (4, 2.6)

This means that, for 4 pizzas, they need 2.6 cups of pizza sauce.

So Julio should bring 2.6 cups of pizza sauce.

Which point should Julio use to determine the amount of pizza sauce he needs to bring?

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 7 = 35

We need to isolate x. First, we add 7 to both sides.

2x - 7 + 7 = 35 + 7

2x = 42

Now we divide both sides by 2.

The length of a rectangle is 7 inches longer than it is wide. If the area is 60 square inches, what are the
dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer: 5 by 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the dimensions of the rectangle w and w+7

The area is 60, so we can do 60=w(w+7)

60=w^2+7w

w^2+7w-60=0          factor the quadratic equation

(w-5)(w+12)=0

w-5=0, w=5

w+12=0, w=-12

Since the length of a rectangle cannot be negative, w=5

the dimensions of the rectangle are 5 and 12

PLEASE HELP!!! Find the value of x.

A. 11
B. 5
C. 25
D. 31

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider trapezoid ABCD with

A is the midpoint of ED

C is the midpoint of BF

=> AC is the median of trapezoid EBFD

=>(EB+DF) / 2 = AC

=>(13+x) / 2 = 19

=> 13+x = 38

=> x= 25

The value of x is 5.

According to the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, it divides those two sides proportionally. In mathematical terms, we can express this as:

(a/b) = c

Where the values of a = 13, b = 19

Now, we can substitute the given values into the proportionality equation:

(13/19) = c

Next, we can cross-multiply the equation:

c = 0.68

Then the value of x is calculated by adding 4.32 on it then we get the value of x as

=>  x = 0.68 + 4.32

=> x = 5

Hence the correct option is (b).

When investing money in a bank account, in which situation will you have the most money in your account at the end of three years?

Compounded semiannually
Compounded yearly
Compounded quarterly
Compounded monthly

Answers

Answer:

continuously is the most, and what is actually done at the banks...

as for your answer:

Compounded monthly

Step-by-step explanation:

When investing money in a bank account, you will have the most money in your account at the end of three years when compounded monthly.

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest you earn on interest.

[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

Where,

A = final amount

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times interest applied per time period

t = number of time periods elapsed

To check in which situation we will earn the most money in end of  three years, we calculate the final amount in each situation keeping other variables constant.

Let

P = 5000

r = 5%

t = 3 years

When compounded annually,

[tex]A = 5000(1 + 0.05)^{3} = 5788.125[/tex]

When compounded semiannually,

[tex]A = 5000(1 + 0.025)^{6} = 5798.467[/tex]

When compounded quarterly,

[tex]A = 5000(1 + 0.0125)^{12} = 5803.772[/tex]

When compounded monthly,

[tex]A = 5000(1 + 0.0125)^{12} = 5807.361[/tex]

Thus, it can be said that you have the most money in your account at the end of three years when compounded monthly.
