The nth term of an AP is 12-4n. Find the first term and the common difference.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the first term is 8 and common difference d is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given nth term of an arithmetic sequence is: aₙ=12-4n

We need to find first term and common difference of given arithmetic sequence

First term can be found by  putting n=1:

[tex]a_n=12-4n\\a_1=12-4(1)\\a_1=12-4\\a_1=8[/tex]

So, first term is a₁= 8

Now to find common difference we need to find second term

Second term can be found by putting n=2

[tex]a_n=12-4n\\a_2=12-4(2)\\a_2=12-8\\a_2=4[/tex]

So, second term is: 4

The common difference is found by subtracting second term with first term: a₂-a₁= 4-8 = -4

So, first term is 8 and common difference d is -4

At Pizza Pi, 24% of the pizzas made last week had extra cheese. If 12 pizzas had extra cheese, how many pizzas in all were made last week? plz help me

Answers

Answer: 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pizza made last week be represented by y.

From the question, we can form it into:

24% of y = 12

24/100 × y = 12

0.24 × y = 12

0.24y = 12

y = 12/0.24

y = 50

50 pizza were made last week.

A popular podcast poses questions to subscribers at the end of each segment, asking listeners to enter their responses on a website to join the sample. One of the questions was: "Do you regularly read nonfiction novels?” More than 45,000 people responded, with 59 percent saying "Yes.” Which of the following is true?
A)The sample is too small to draw any conclusion.
B)About 59% of people in the US regularly read nonfiction novels.
C)The poll uses voluntary response, so the results tell us little about the population of all adults.
D)The poll uses a convenience sample, so the results tell us little about the population of all adults.
E)The poll suffers from nonresponse bias, so the results tell us little about the population of all adults.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

About 59% of the 45,000 people responded as "Yes" to the question, "Do you regularly read nonfiction novels?”

The sample size is, n = 45,000.

The sample proportion is, p = 0.59.

The sample selected is a voluntary sample, i.e. the individuals provided their responses voluntarily. So, the sample is not a true representative of the population. Though the results tell us little about the population of all adults because of the large sample size.

Thus, the correct option is C.

Gayle is making gift bags and must tie 250 ribbons to them. If Gayle can tie 4 ribbons every 10 minutes, how long will it take Gayle to tie all 250 ribbons?

Answers

Answer:

625 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken to tie 4 ribbons = 10 minutes

Number of ribbons to be tied = 250

To find:

Time taken to tie 250 ribbons.

Solution:

First of all, we need to find the time taken to tie one ribbon.

And then we can multiply it with 250 to find the time taken to tie all the 250 ribbons.

For finding the time to tie one ribbon, we need to divide the time taken to tie 4 ribbons with 4.

Time taken to tie 1 ribbon = [tex]\frac{10}{4} = 2.5[/tex] minutes

Time taken to tie 250 ribbons = 2.5 [tex]\times[/tex] 250 = 625 minutes

HELLO HUMANS FROM MARS. WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!! THIS QUESTION IS ABOUT SNOWFALL. When snow melts after it falls because of the sun, is it considered positive or negative ( - + )?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

positive decrease in depthnegative change in depth

Step-by-step explanation:

Depth of snowfall is usually measured above some base. The greater the depth, the higher the surface is above the base.

When the depth decreases, as by melting, the change in depth is negative. That is, the difference between the new depth and the old one is negative. A 12" depth experiencing a change of -1 inch becomes an 11" depth.

If the question is about how much the depth decreased, the decrease is given as a positive value. A 12" depth decreased by (+)1 inch becomes an 11" depth.

The sign of the number of interest depends on what question it is answering.

Answer:

C,-3

Step-by-step explanation:

take y2-y1/x2-x1

6+3/-3=Neg 3

Answer:

C. -3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this using two different methods.

First, slope is written rise over run, or y over x. We can find two points and count how much we need to rise and run. The graph already includes the points (2,-3) and (-1, 6), which we will use. If you carefully look at the graph, you can see that if you start from the point (2,-3), you can rise 9 and run -3 to get to the point (-1, 6), which brings me to the next step. As I stated in the beginning, slope is written rise over run. Therefore, the slope is 9/-3, which simplifies to -3, answer choice C.

Another way you can do this is subtracting the y's and subtracting the x's in the same order. The y's go over the x's, and is basically written as a fraction. For this method, we still need two points. We will use the same points as above and listed on the graph, points (2,-3) and (-1, 6). The y's are -3 and 6, and the x's are 2 and -1. Now, subtract.

-3-6  =-9=-3

2-(-1)= 3

As you can tell, both methods of solving for slope worked, and the answer is choice C.

I hope this helps!! Have a great day, and thanks for the points (^人^)

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/speed

Given

Distance = 17in

Speed= 90mph

Convert inches to miles

1in = 1.578 × 10-5 mile

17in = 17(1.578 × 10-5) mile

17in = 26.826×10^-5miles

Get the time

Time =26.826×10^-5/90

Time = 0.298×10^-5

Determine the internal and external angles of the triangle below​

Answers

Answer:

The internal angles are 78°, 72°, 30°, and the external angle is 150°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the measure of an external angle at one vertex equals the sum of the measures of the opposite internal angles to this vertex

In the given figure

∵ The angle of measure (4x + 22) is an exterior angle

∵ The angles of measures (3x - 18) and (2x + 8) are the opposite

   interior angles

→ By using the rule above

(3x - 18) + (2x + 8) = (4x + 22)

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (3x + 2x) + (-18 + 8) = 4x + 22

∴ 5x + (-10) = 4x + 22

→ Remember (+)(-) = (-)

5x - 10 = 4x + 22

→ Add 10 to both sides

∵ 5x - 10 + 10 = 4x + 22 + 10

∴ 5x = 4x + 32

→ Subtract 4x from both sides

∵ 5x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 32

x = 32

→ Substitute the value of x in the external and internal angles to find them

∵ The external angle = 4(32) + 22 = 128 + 22

The external angle = 150°

∵ One of the internal angle = 3(32) - 18 = 96 - 18

One of the internal angle = 78°

∵ Other internal angle = 2(32) + 8 = 64 + 8

Other internal angle = 72°

→ The sum of the measure of the internal angles of a Δ is 180°

∵ The third internal angle of the triangle = 180° - 78° - 72°

The third internal angle of the triangle = 30°

The internal angles are 78°, 72°, 30°, and the external angle is 150°
