If 24, x, and 6 form the first three terms of an arithmetic sequence
then which of the following is the value of x?
(1) 12
(3) 20
(2) 15
(4) 42

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  15

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

Work Shown:

d = common difference

p = first term = 24

q = second term = a+d = 24+d

r = third term = q+d = 24+d+d = 24+2d = 6

------------

Solve for d

24+2d = 6

2d = 6-24

2d = -18

d = -18/2

d = -9

We add -9 to each term to get the next term. This is the same as subtracting 9 from each term to get the next term.

------------

First term = 24

Second term = 24-9 = 15

Third term = 15-9 = 6

We get the sequence 24, 15, 6

A spray irrigation system waters a section of a farmer’s field. If the water shoots a distance of 85 feet, what is the area that is watered as the sprinkler rotates through an angle of 60 degrees? Use 3.14 for pi . Round your answer to the nearest square foot, and enter the number only.

Answers

Answer:

3,781

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will find the area of the whole circle and use that to find teh area of the 60º section.

First, recognize the formula for the area of a circle:

A = 3.14[tex]r^{2}[/tex]

In this scenario, the radius (r) is 85 feet:

A = 3.14(85[tex])^{2}[/tex]

A circle is 360º and we only require the area of 60º. 360º / 60º = 6 so we will divide by 6:

A = [tex]\frac{3.14(85)^{2} }{6}[/tex]

Finally, we will simplify and round:

A = 3,781

5x+4(-x-2) = -5x + 2(x-1)+12 solve for x

Answers

Hello!

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{x = 4.5}[/tex]

Starting with:

5x + 4(-x - 2) = -5x + 2(x - 1) + 12

Distribute terms outside of the parenthesis:

5x + 4(-x) + 4(-2) = -5x + 2(x) + 2(-1) + 12

5x - 4x - 8 = -5x + 2x - 2 + 12

Combine like terms:

x - 8 = -3x + 10

Isolate for the "x" variable by adding 3x for both sides:

4x - 8 = 10

Add 8 to both sides:

4x = 18

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 18/4

x = 4.5

Hope this helped! :)

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{x = 4.5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \mathrm{5x + 4( - x - 2) = - 5x + 2(x - 1) + 12}[/tex]

Distribute 4 through the parentheses

Similarly, Distribute 2 through the parentheses

[tex] \mathsf{ 5x - 4x - 8 = - 5x + 2x - 2 + 12}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex] \mathsf{ x - 8 = - 3x - 2 + 12}[/tex]

Calculate the sum

[tex] \mathsf{x - 8 = - 3x + 10}[/tex]

Move variable to L.H.S and change its sign

Similarly, Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

[tex] \mathsf{ x + 3x = 10 + 8}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex] \mathsf{4x = 10 + 8}[/tex]

Calculate the sum

[tex] \mathsf{4x = 18}[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

[tex] \mathsf{ \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{18}{4}} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex] \mathsf{x = 4.5}[/tex]

Hope I helped!

a. x-intercepts: (-1,0) and (2,0)

c. x-intercept: (-6,0)

d. x-intercept: (0,-6)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y =3x^2-3x-6

Let y = 0 and solve for x to find the x intercepts

0 =3x^2-3x-6

Factor out a 3

0 =3(x^2-x-2)

Factor inside the parentheses

0 = 3( x-2) (x+1)

Using the zero product property

x-2 =0    x+1 = 0

x=2      x = -1

(2,0)    ( -1,0)

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\mathrm{a. \ x-intercepts: (-1,0) \ and \ (2,0)}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept(s) is when y = 0.

3x² - 3x - 6 = 0

Factor left side of the equation.

3(x + 1)(x - 2) = 0

Set factors equal to 0.

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

The x-intercepts are (-1, 0) and (2, 0).

Nikki gathered data about the length of time she spent listening to the radio and the number of commercials she heard. She organized the data in a scatter plot, where x represents the minutes spent listening and y represents the number of commercials. Then she used the graphing tool to find the equation of the line of best fit: y = 0.338x − 1.387. Based on the line of best fit, for approximately how many minutes will Nikki need to listen to the radio to hear 20 commercials?

Answers

Answer:

The number of minutes Nikki needs to listen to the radio to hear 20 commercials is 63.275 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given dependent and independent variables are;

The number of minutes spent by Nikki listening = x

The number of commercials aired = y

The relationship between the independent variable, x ans the dependent variable, y, was given by the Nikki's graphing tool line of best fit as follows;

y = 0.338·x - 1.387

Therefore, the number of minutes, x, Nikki needs to listen to the radio to hear 20 commercials, y is given as follows;

20 = 0.338·x - 1.387

20 + 1.387 = 0.338·x

0.338·x  =20 + 1.387 = 21.387

x =  21.387/0.338 = 63.275 minutes

The number of minutes, x, Nikki needs to listen to the radio to hear 20 commercials, y = 63.275 minutes.

Answer:

 x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1)=5(x−2)+7

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+1.

3x+3=5(x−2)+7

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x−2.

3x+3=5x−10+7

Add −10 and 7 to get −3.

3x+3=5x−3

Subtract 5x from both sides.

3x+3−5x=−3

Combine 3x and −5x to get −2x

−2x+3=−3

Subtract 3 from both sides.

−2x=−3−3

Subtract 3 from −3 to get −6.

−2x=−6

Divide both sides by −2.

x = -6/2

Divide −6 by −2

Answers

Answer:

For question 1 you can try dividing each of the value

For instance, you can divide 9 by 25 and see if you get a nice number

e.g. 1/8=0.125, numbers like these

For the second question, you can find the fraction by dividing 1000 starting with the decimal points

e.g 0.650, you would be plotting 650/1000 and you would simplify the fraction to the lowest value any value above the decimal point you can multiply by the denominator and add the nominator value to get your final answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Write the denominator in its prime factors. If the prime factorization of the denominator of a fraction has only factors of 2 and factors of 5, the decimal expression terminates.  If there is any prime factor in the denominator other than 2 or 5, then the decimal expression repeats.

example: 9/25

25 = 5*5, so it will be terminating

example: 7/12

12 = 3*2*2, which contains a 3, so it will be repeating.

Morgan rewrote the expression 90 + (10 + 4.8) as (90 + 10) + 4.8. How will this change the work that is needed to evaluate the expression? PLZ I NEED THIS PLZ HELP ME

Answers

If the expression is kept in its original form, you would add 10 and 4.8 together to get 14.8 and then add 90 to receive an answer of 104.8. With the reworked expression, you add 90 and 10 first to get 100 and then add 4.8 to receive 104.8.

Answer: Because of PEMDAS, the way Morgan rewrote the expression would change the the order of the steps to simplify it.

Step-by-step explanation: PEMDAS is the order of operations and it stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Addition, and Subtraction. If we simplify Morgan's version of the expression, we would add 90+10 first, which makes 100, then add 4.8 which makes 104.8. We come to the same conclusion when simplifying the original expression, 104.8. The difference is that we add 10+4.8 first and then add it to 90. While in this situation, the outcome was not different, the order of operations was changed.

If the potential difference between the plates is 84.0 V, find how much electrical energy (in nJ) can be stored in this capacitor. answer these questions with Always,never it sometimes An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its adjacent angle and one remote interior angle An isosceles triangle is an equilateral triangle An equilateral triangle is an isosceles triangle Double a number decreased by 25.6 is equal to 90 Find the number Which decimal value (base 10) is equal to the binary number 1012? (PLEASE HELP) Why was the Battle of Saratoga so important in the War of Independence?A) The British won the battle.B) It made the Americans think that they could win the war without any help.C) It made the French decide to help the Americans.D) It was Washington's first victory of the war. Find the slope and y-intercept of the line. y = x 8 Determine whether the samples are independent or dependent. A data set included the daily number of words spoken by 210 randomly selected women and 210 randomly selected men.a. The samples are independent because there is a natural pairing between the two samples. b. The samples are dependent because there is a natural pairing between the two samples. c. The samples are dependent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples. d. The samples are independent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples.
