write a formula that will yield the nth term of the sequence: 3,-2,-7,-12

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-5n + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What is the difference?

  The sequence goes down by 5. This means that the formula will have -5n in it.

2. Work out the term before the first term.

    The first term is 3, and we know that the sequence goes up by 5. So, to get the term before 3 we would add 5.

3 + 5 = 8   Remember, this is positive 8. (+8)

3. Put that term at the end of the equation.

   We have -5n already and we just worked out the term before the first one which is positive 8 - so put that at the end of the equation.

-5n + 8  This is our answer!

Just to prove it works:

Substitute:   n = term

Lets see if we can get the 3rd term which is -7. (n = 3)

-5(3) + 8

-15 + 8 = -7

See, it works!

A survey was done of 160 households to find out if they watch cable television, internet television, or
both. Of the 160 households, 109 watched cable television, 88 watched internet television, and 7
watched neither. If a household was selected randomly, what would be the probability that they
watched both cable and internet television?
1) 0.175
2) 0.275
3) 0.375
4) 0.475​

Answers

Answer: 2) 0.275

Step-by-step explanation:

Total households = 160

Watch Cable TV: 109

Watch internet TV: 88

Watch neither: 7

We want to find the number that watch both of them.

Now, the total number of housholds that watch at least one thing is:

160 - 7 = 153.

Now, if we add the number that watch by cable and the number that watch by  internet we have:

109 + 88 = 197

The difference is:

197 - 153 = 44

This means that we have 44 households that watch both things.

This is because we are counting those 44 in the 109 for cable and also in the 88 for internet (because they watch both) and this is why we have a surpass.

Then the number that watch both things is 44, then the probability that a random household watched both things is equal to:

P = 44/160 = 0.275

The correct option is 2


Use the triangle below, set up and solve an equation in order to find the
value of x. (Type the number only).

Answers

Answer:

27.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

x+ 34.6+118 = 180

Combine like terms

x+152.6 = 180

Subtract 152.6 from each side

x +152.6-152.6 = 180-152.6

x =27.4

_________________________________

Solution,

x+118+34.6=180°( sum of angle in traingle)

or,x+152.6=180

or,X=180-152.6

X=27.4

The value of X is 27.4 °

Explain how you can use the inscribed angle theorem to justify its second corollary, that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle

Answers

Answer:

We find half the measure of the central angle of the circle. Where the given shape is a semi-circle, then the inscribed angle is half of 180, therefore, 90 degrees and a right angle is proven. We show this as Angle BAC is a RA 360 is the measure of circle 360/2 = 180 the semi circle Angle BAC is 180/2 = 90 degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps you!

Answer:

A circle measures 360 degrees, so a semicircle measures 180 degrees. By using the inscribed angle theorem, the measure of the inscribed angle would be half of 180 degrees, or 90 degrees, which is a right angle.

Betty bought two bags full of books at an annual library book sale. If she
pays a total of $12.90 for both bags, of which $0.90 is tax, how much did
each bag of books cost?

Answers

Answer:

12.90= .90+ 2x

12=2x

6=x

Each bag of books cost was $6

Answer: the answer is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Betty payed .90 cents on tax we can subtract this from the equation because we are just trying to focus on how much she spent on one bag. Now all we have left is $12. Then we would have to divide 12 by the number of bags she bought, so 2. 12 divided 2 equals 6, meaning Betty spent $6 per bag.

Prove that for any natural n the number 3^(n+4)−3n is divisible by 16.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Prove that for any natural number 3^(n+4)-3n is divisible by 16.

(I'm going to assume that you mean 3^(n+4)-3^n.)

1. We can break up 3^(n+4)-3n into 3^n * 3^4-3^n (by the rule a^b*a^c = a^b+c).

2. Solve to get 3^n * 81 - 3^n

3. Factor out the 3^n, and you'll get 3^n(81-1), and simplify: 3^n(80)

        You may notice that 80 is divisible by 16.

4. Rewrite what we got from the last step as: 3^n*5(16).

The proof that any natural number n in (3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ) is divisible by 16 is; it was simplified to 3ⁿ × 5

What is the proof that the number is divisible?

We want to show that show that 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16.

This is; (3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ)/16

From laws of indices, we know that;

aᵐ⁺ⁿ = aᵐ × aⁿ.

Thus; 3ⁿ⁺⁴ can be expressed as 3ⁿ × 3⁴.

Thus; (3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ)/16 is;

((3ⁿ × 3⁴) - 3ⁿ) = 3ⁿ((81 - 1)/16)

3ⁿ(80/16) = 3ⁿ × 5

The expression has been fully simplified to show that any natural number n in (3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ) is divisible by 16.
