Describe and correct the error a student made in identifying the common difference of the following sequence.
​29, 22,​ 15, 8,​ 1, ...

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The sequence is 29, 22,​ 15, 8,​ 1, ...

To find:

The common difference.

Solution:

We have,

29, 22,​ 15, 8,​ 1, ...

It is an AP.

First term : [tex]a_1=29[/tex]

Second term : [tex]a_2=22[/tex]

Now,

Common difference : [tex]d=a_2-a_1[/tex]

[tex]d=22-29[/tex]

[tex]d=-7[/tex]

Therefore, the correct common difference is -7.

Note: Here calculation by student is not given, so we cannot find the error of the student.

Answers

Answer:

C. (-1,6,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation

6x−y+3z=−9 ...... 1

5x + 5y−5z = 20 ...... 2

3x−y+4z = −5 ...... 3

Reduce the equations to two variables with 2unknown

Multiply equation 3 by 2 and add to 1.

Equation 3×2; 6x−2y+8z = −10 ...... 4

Subtract 4 from 1

-y-(-2y)+3z-8z = -9-(-10)

-y+2y-5z = -9+10

y-5z = 1 ...... 5

Also multiply eqn 2 by 3 and 3 by 5

Equation 2×3; 15x+15y-15z= 60

Equation 3×5; 15x-5y+20z = -25

Subtract

15y+5y-15z-20z = 60+25

20y-35z = 85

Divide through by 5:

4y-7z = 17 ...... 6

...................................

Solve 5 and 6

y-5z = 1 ...... 5 × 4

4y-7z = 17 ...... 6 × 1

....................................

4y-20z = 4

4y-7z = 17

Subtract

-20z+7z = 4-17

-13z = -13

z = -13/-13

z = 1

Substitute z = 1 into equation 5 to get y:

From 5: y-5z = 1

y - 5(1) = 1

y-5 = 1

y = 1+5

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 and z = 1 into equation 3 to get x;

From 3: 3x−y+4z = −5

3x-6+4(1) = -5

3x -6+4 = -5

3x-2 = -5

3x = -5+2

3x = -3

x = -3/3

x = -1

Hence x = -1, y = 6 and z = 1

The correct answer is (-1, 6, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

[tex]u_{n}[/tex] = u₁ + (n - 1)d

given u₂₀ = 100 and u₂₅ = 115 , then

u₁ + 19d = 100 → (1)

u₁ + 24d = 115 → (2)

subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate u₁

0 + 5d = 15

5d = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

d = 3

substitute d = 3 into (1) and solve for u₁

u₁ + 19(3) = 100

u₁ + 57 = 100 ( subtract 57 from both sides )

u₁ = 43

Answer:

a) u₁ = 43, d = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

u₂₀ = 100

u₂₅ = 115

To Find :-

u₁ and d

Solving :-

u₂₀ = u₁ + 19d = 100 -(1)

u₂₅ = u₁ + 24d = 115 -(2)

(2) - (1)

5d = 15

d = 3

u₁ + 19(3) = 100

u₁ + 57 = 100

u₁ = 43

Solution :-

a) u₁ = 43, d = 3

A committee consisting of 4 faculty members and 5 students is to be formed. Every committee position has the same duties and voting rights. There are 8 faculty members and 13 students eligible to serve on the committee. In how many ways can the committee be formed?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question bothers on combination. combination has to do with selection.

If 4 faculty members are chosen from total of  8 faculty members, this can be done in 8C4 number of ways.

8C4 = 8!/(8-4)!4!

8C4 = 8!/4!4!

8C4 = 8*7*6*5*4!/4!*4*3*2

8c4 = 8*7*6*5/24

8C4 = 7*5*2

8C4  =70 ways

Similarly,  5 students are to be selected from a pool of 13 students, this can be done in 13C5 number of ways.

13C5 = 13!/(13-5)!5!

13C5 = 13!/8!5!

13C5 = 13*12*11*10*9*8!/8!*5*4*3*2

13C5 = 13*12*11*10*9/120

13C5 = 1,287 ways

The total number of ways the committee can be formed is 8C4 * 13C5 = 70*1287

The total number of ways the committee can be formed is 90,090 ways

quadrilateral with vertices at the
following points:

A. Rectangle
B. Square
C. Rhombus
D. Trapezoid

Answers

Answer: A. Rectangle

The quadrilateral with vertices (0, 0), (0, 4), (8, 4) and (8,0) makes the rectangle.

What is rectangle?

A rectangle is a part of a quadrilateral, whose sides are parallel to each other and equal.

The given points are,

(0, 0), (0, 4), (8, 4) and (8,0).

To determine the section for the quadrilateral,

Find distance between points.

The distance between two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂)

Distance

= √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

The distance between (0, 0) and (0, 4)

= √(0-0)² + (4-0)² = √(0)² + (4)² = √(4)² = 4

The distance between (0, 4) and (8, 4)

= √(8-0)² + (4-4)² = √(8)² + (0)² = √(8)² = 8

The distance between (8, 4) and (8, 0)

= √(8 - 8)² + (0 - (4))² = √(0)² + (4)² = √(4)² = 4

The distance between (8, 0) and (0, 0)

= √(0 - 8)² + (0- 0)² = √(-8)² + (0)² = √(8)² = 8

Since, the opposite sides are equal,

Therefore, the quadrilateral is rectangle.

The equation 3x - 4y = 16 is now in standard form, where A = 3, B = -4, and C = 16.

To convert the equation y = (3/4)x - 4 into standard form, we need to eliminate any fractions and rewrite it in the form Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.

The given equation is already almost in standard form, but we can proceed with the following steps:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction:

4y = 3x - 16

Step 2: Move all terms to one side of the equation to have zero on the other side:

3x - 4y = 16

The equation 3x - 4y = 16 is now in standard form, where A = 3, B = -4, and C = 16.

Americans believed in Manifest Destiny, or their divine right to expand and spread democracy. They wanted to go west and live freely without the restrictions of the strict laws in the East. Other issues in the East included limited religious freedom and a lack of jobs. The promise of open land, new jobs, and religious freedom drew people further into the continent. This new land contained untapped resources, such as forests, plains, and ore. When gold was discovered in California, people were eager to head west. The West became synonymous with adventures and new opportunities. However, to go west, the United States needed to own the surrounding land.France agreed to sell their territory to the United States. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson obtained 828,000 square miles of land for $15 million. The United States doubled in size and stretched to the Rocky Mountains.The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States and vastly increased its resources and riches. The roles of the president and the Constitution were also defined, as it was determined that the president could purchase the land without consulting Congress. Despite the advantages of expanding westward, one prominent disadvantage was the growing tension between slave states and free states regarding whether new states would permit slavery. The opportunity to grow a nation would endanger its very survival during the Civil War.According to information in the text feature, why was France willing to sell the French Territory to the United States? Too expensive to maintain No resources in the area To have access to the Port of New Orleans To pay for the country's expensive wars
