The 12th term of the arithmetic sequence is 10.5. The 18th term of this sequence is 13.5. Find the common difference and the first term

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

common difference is 0.5

first term is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula for the nth term of an ap Tn=a+(n-1)d

T12=10.5

T18=13.5

therefore come up with two equations

T12=a+(12-1)d

10.5=a+11d(1st equation)

T18=a+(18-1)d

13.5=a+17d(2nd equation)

then solve both as a simultaneous equation

a+11d=10.5

a+17d=13.5

-6d/-6=-3/-6

d=0.5

use one of the equations to find the first term

a+11(0.5)=10.5

a+5.5=10.5

a=10.5-5.5

a=5

Without using logarithm tables, find value of x in the equation:
log x³+ log5x =5log2-log⅖​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x =2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\log x\³+ \log5x =5\log2-\log\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Required

Find x

We have:

[tex]\log x\³+ \log5x =5\log2-\log\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Apply exponent rule

[tex]\log x\³+ \log5x =\log2^5-\log\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\log x\³+ \log5x =\log32 -\log\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Apply product and quotient rules of logarithm

[tex]\log (x\³* 5x) =\log(32 \div \frac{2}{5})[/tex]

[tex]\log (5x^4) =\log(80)[/tex]

Cancel log on both sides

[tex]5x^4 = 80[/tex]

Divide by 5

[tex]x^4 = 16[/tex]

Take 4th roots of both sides

[tex]x =2[/tex]

If [ -2 5 7 6] and |B| = -|A|, which matrix is matrix B?

Answers

|A| and |B| denote the determinants of the matrices A and B.

We have

[tex]|A| = \begin{vmatrix}-2&5\\7&6\end{vmatrix} = (-2)\times6-7\times5 = -12 - 35 = -47[/tex]

Then B is a matrix such that |B| = -|A| = +47.

The only choice satisfying this is C, since

[tex]\begin{vmatrix}12&1\\13&5\end{vmatrix} = 12\times5-13\times1 = 60 - 13 = 47[/tex]

The receipt shows the prices of goods that Mr. Baker bought at the store.
The state Mr. Baker lives in has a sales tax rate of 7% on all purchases.

How much money does Mr. Baker pay in sales tax and what is the total amount he must pay for his purchases?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $82.46 sales tax

$1,260.46 Total

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the price before the Sales tax is $1,178.00 and if you add the 7% Sales tax the total is $1,260.46 and the price of the Sales tax is $82.46

$750x.07= $52.50
+
$329x.07=$23.03
+
$99x.07=$6.93
=
$82.46

1,178+82.46=
$1,260.46

Answers

Answer: 3128 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no of students in the school : 3200

No of sophomores in favor of the school forming a crew team : 38

No of the remaining students in favor of forming a crew team : 34

Total students in favor of forming a crew team = 38+34= 72

No of students against it : Total students - Students in favor

Hasib earns 30 cents for every carrot he sells.
He earns an extra $3 for every 30 carrots he
sells. How many carrots must he sell in order to
earn $555?

Answers

Answer:

He must sell 1390 carrots

Step-by-step explanation:

30x + 300x/30 = 55500

40x = 55500

x = 1387.5

1387.5

multiply 30 by .3 to get $9 for 30 carrots

Then add $3 to this amount to get $12 dollars.

Divide 555 by 12 to get 46 R3.

Multiply 46 by 30 because its 46 bundles of 30 carrots

Then divide the 3 dollars by .3 for each carrot to get 10 carrots

1380+10 = 1390

Hasib must sell 1390 carrots in order to earn $555.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Given information; Hasib earns 30 cents for every carrot he sells. He earns an extra $3 for every 30 carrots he sells.

So, the equation form;

30x + 300x/30 = 55500

40x = 55500

x = 1387.5

Now, multiply 30 by .3 to get $9 for 30 carrots

Then add $3 + 9 = $12 dollars.

Now, Divide 555/ 12 = 46 R3.

46 x 30  = 1380  because its 46 bundles of 30 carrots

For each carrot to get 10 carrots

1380 + 10 = 1390

Therefore, Hasib must sell 1390 carrots in order to earn $555.

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis).

1) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]m=\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where two points that fall on the line are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Plug in the given points (-4,-1) and ( -1,2):

[tex]m=\displaystyle \frac{2-(-1)}{(-1)-(-4)}\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{2+1}{-1+4}\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{3}{3}\\\\m=1[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=1x+b\\y=x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=x+b[/tex]

Plug in one of the given points and solve for b:

[tex]2=-1+b\\2+1=b\\3=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 3. Plug this back into the original equation:

[tex]y=x+3[/tex]

If f(x)=16x-30 and g(x)=14x-6 for which value of x does (f-g)(x)=0

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=16x-30

g(x)=14x-6

f(x) - g(x) = 16x-30 - (14x-6)

               = 16x - 30 - 14x +6

                = 2x -24

Set this equal to zero

2x-24 = 0

Add 24 to each side

2x-24 +24 = 0+24

2x = 24

Divide by 2

2x/2 =24/2

x = 12

x=12

Answer:

Solution given:

f(x)=16x-30 and g(x)=14x-6

(f-g)(x)=0

or

f(x)-g(x)=0

16x-30-14x+6=0

2x-24=0

2x=24

x=24/2
