Suppose the 4th term of an arithmetic sequence is 27, and the 8th term
is 59.
1. What are the first term and the common difference?
2. Write a function for the sequence.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The first term is 3 and common difference is 8.

And

The formula for sequence is: [tex]a_n = -5+8n[/tex]

Function is: [tex]f(n) = f(n-1)+8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

[tex]a_4 = 27\\a_8 = 59[/tex]

The general formula for arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_n = a+(n-1)d[/tex]

Here

a is the first term

n is the term number

and d is the common difference

for 4th term

[tex]a_4 = a+(4-1)d\\27 = a+3d\ \ \ Eqn\ 1[/tex]

For 8th term

[tex]59 = a+ (8-1)d\\59= a+7d\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 2[/tex]

subtracting equation 1 from equation 2

[tex]59-27 = a+7d-(a+3d)\\32 = a+7d-a-3d\\32 = 4d\\d =\frac{32}{4}\\d = 8[/tex]

Putting d = 8 in equation 1

[tex]a+3d = 27\\a+3(8) = 27\\a+24=27\\a = 27-24\\a = 3[/tex]

Now for the function

[tex]a_n = a+(n-1)d\\a_n = 3+(n-1)(8)\\a_n = 3 + 8n-8\\a_n = -5+8n[/tex]

The sequence can also be expressed as a function as:

[tex]f(n) = f(n-1) + 8[/tex]

Hence,

The first term is 3 and common difference is 8.

And

The formula for sequence is: [tex]a_n = -5+8n[/tex]

Function is: [tex]f(n) = f(n-1)+8[/tex]

The graph does not represent a function because there are 2 points on the same axis ( T , Z)

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

For the relationship to be a function then each value of x must map to exactly one unique value of y.

This is true for the points except Z andT, where

x → 3 (Z) and x → 5 (T)

This means the relation is not a function

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that passes through (0, 7) and has a slope of -23.

Answers

Answer:

y = -23x + 7

Step-by-step explanation

We are using the equation y = mx + b.

The slope (m) is -23, so it would be y = -23 + b.

b is the y-intercept, and the ordered pair that gives us the y-intercept is (0,7).

Remember that the y-intercept is what the y-coordinate is equal to when the x-coordinate is 0.

Solve 4(t+1)= 6(g-4)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4(t + 1) = 6(g + -4)

Reorder the terms:

4(1 + t) = 6(g + -4)

(1 * 4 + t * 4) = 6(g + -4)

(4 + 4t) = 6(g + -4)

Reorder the terms:

4 + 4t = 6(-4 + g)

4 + 4t = (-4 * 6 + g * 6)

4 + 4t = (-24 + 6g)

Solving

4 + 4t = -24 + 6g

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 4t = -24 + -4 + 6g

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 4t = -24 + -4 + 6g

4t = -24 + -4 + 6g

Combine like terms: -24 + -4 = -28

4t = -28 + 6g

Divide each side by '4'.

t = -7 + 1.5g

Simplifying

t = -7 + 1.5g

Camilla, Lincoln and Ella sat a French test. The test was marked out of 200
Camilla got 4/5 of the 200 marks.
Lincoln got 44% of the 200 marks.
Ella got 198 out of 200 marks.
Who got the highest mark?

Answers

Answer:

Ella got the highest marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Camilla got 4/5 of the 200 marks.

Marks of Camilla = [tex]\frac{4}{5}*200[/tex]

Marks of Camilla = 160 marks

Lincoln got 44% of the 200 marks.

Marks of Lincoln = [tex]\frac{44}{100}*200[/tex]

Marks of Lincoln = 88 marks

Ella got 198 out of 200.

On comparing,

198 is the highest out of 200.

Hence,

Ella got the highest marks.

What is the value of (33 - 2 × 7) + (5 × 3 - 22) ?

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind the rules of PEMDAS

P (parenthesis)

E (exponents)

M (multiply)

D (division)

A (addition)

S (subtraction)

Because parenthesis is the first operation in PEMDAS, you would start by calculating inside the parenthesis

We can start with the numbers inside the first parenthesis

(33 - 2 × 7)

Start by multiplying 2 and 7 because the M comes before the S

(33 - 2×7)= (33- 14)

Now subtract 14 from 33

(33-14) = 19

Step 2: Calculate inside the second parenthesis

(5 × 3 - 22)

Multiply first

(5 × 3 - 22)= (15 - 22)

Subtract!

(15 - 22)= -7

Now add the final number together

(why? There is an addition sign between the two parenthesis ordering us to add the final numbers together)

19 + (-7)

19-7

⇔ 3y = 96

⇔ y = 32

because this is a square

A.32 = 5m + 3
B.32 = 3m + 5
C.32 = 3(m - 2) - 5
D.32 = 3(m - 2) + 5

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we subtract 5 from 32. Then we use that number ÷ 3, and that's the answer. As for the question, We can rule our A because its 3 per box and not 5, and the whole (m-2) thing makes no sense because there isnt a 2 anywhere. I hope this helps!

The equation 32 = 3m - 5 will let Lynda know how many total boxes of macaroni and cheese, m, she can buy.

What is linear equation?

Equations whose variables have a power of one are called linear equations. One example with one variable is where ax+b = 0, where a and b are real values and x is the variable.

Given:

Lynda has $32.00 to spend at the grocery store on boxes of macaroni and cheese.

The cost is $3 per box.

If the boxes are m, then the total cost = 3m.

In addition,

her mom told her to buy some oranges that will cost $5.

That means, the linear equation,

32 = 3m - 5

Therefore, the equation is 32 = 3m - 5.
