Find the first term:

Is the sequence arithmetic?

Find the common difference d:

Find the general term an:

Find the 20th term:

Find the sum of the first 50 terms:

Answers

Answer 1
The first term is 5

Yes this a arithmetic sequence

The common difference is 7

Answer 2

Answer:

Find the first term:  

The first term is 5

Is the sequence arithmetic?

Yes because (5 -7 = -2) (-2 - 7 = -9)  

Find the common difference d:

The common difference is -7

Find the general term an:

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = (first term) + ((nth term) -1) · (common difference)

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 5 + (n - 1) · (-7)

Find the 20th term:

[tex]a_{20}[/tex] = 5 + (20 - 1) · (-7)

= -128

Find the sum of the first 50 terms:

[tex]a_{50}[/tex] = 5 + (50 - 1) · (-7)

= -338

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a comparison between two similar quantities in simplest form.

Proportions are of two types one is the direct proportion in which if one quantity is increased by a constant k the other quantity will also be increased by the same constant k and vice versa.

In the case of inverse proportion if one quantity is increased by a constant k the quantity will decrease by the same constant k and vice versa.

Given, Sam, the ranch cook, made sausage and bacon for breakfast.

Each cowboy could choose one meat, and Sam had just enough.

3 of every 5.

Also given that there are 60 cowboys so no. of meat is also 60 as each cowboy could choose one meat.

If 3 of every 5 cowboys chosen meat then the no. of cowboys chosen meat is,

= (3/5)×60.

= 36 cowboys.

computers should be produced?
(7 marks) c) If the company targets to make at least $4,800,000, what is the range of the
number of computers to be produced?

Answers

lol no

just give up in life

The function is used to model real life situation

The value of a is -2000 150 computers must be produced to maximize the profit of $5,000,000 A range of 140 to 160 computers would give the company at least $4,800,000  

 

(a) The value of a

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = a(x - 100)(x - 200) }[/tex]

The profit on 120 computers is 3200000.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{3200000 = a(120 - 100)(120 - 200) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{3200000 = -1600a}[/tex]

Divide both side by -1600

[tex]\mathbf{a = -2000}[/tex]

Hence, the value of (a) is -2000

(b) The maximum profit

The function becomes

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x - 100)(x - 200)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x\² - 200x - 100x + 20000)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x\² - 300x + 20000)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000}[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]\mathbf{y' = -4000x + 600000}[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex]\mathbf{-4000x + 600000 = 0}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{4000x = 600000}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4000

[tex]\mathbf{x = 150}[/tex]

Substitute 150 for x in [tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x - 100)(x - 200)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(150 - 100)(150 - 200)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 5000000}[/tex]

150 computers must be produced to maximize the profit of $5,000,000  

c) Range when the target is at least $4,800,000

This means that:

[tex]\mathbf{y \ge 4800000}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000 \ge 4800000}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000 - 4800000 \ge 0}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 44800000 \ge 0}[/tex]

Divide through by -2000

[tex]\mathbf{x\² - 300x +22400 \le 0}[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 140)(x - 160) \le 0}[/tex]

Express as inequality

[tex]\mathbf{140 \le x \le 160}[/tex]

A range of 140 to 160 computers would give the company at least $4,800,000

A high school drama club is selling tickets for the spring production. One day the president sold 12 adult tickets and 5 child tickets for a total of $169. The next day the president sold 22 adult tickets and 10 child tickets for a total of $314. Let a represent the cost of one adult ticket. Let c represent the cost of one child ticket. Which system of equations will solve for a and c? 12 a 5 c = 314. 22 a 10 c = 169. 12 a 5 c = 169. 22 a 10 c = 314. 5 a 12 c = 314. 22 a 10 c = 169. 22 a 5 c = 169. 12 a 10 c = 314.

Answers

Answer:

12a + 5c = 169

22a + 10c = 314

Step-by-step explanation:

if a = adult tickets and c = children's tickets

12 adult tickets and 5 children's tickets costs 169 dollars

12a + 5c = 169

Also, 22 adult tickets and 10 children's tickets cost 314 dollars

22a + 10c = 314

10a) Beatrice has an income of
$40 000 in one year.
She pays no tax on the first
$10 000 of her income;
10% tax on the next $10 000 of her income;
25% tax on the rest of her income.

Calculate:
a) the total amount of tax Beatrice pays,

b)the total amount of tax as a percentage of the $40 000.

10b) Beatrice pays a yearly rent of $10 800.
After she has paid her tax, rent and bills, she has $12 000.
Calculate how much Beatrice spends on bills.

Answers

Answer:

  a) $6000 tax

  b) 15%

  c) $11,200 for bills

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Beatrice pays 10% on the second $10,000 of her income, which is ...

  0.10×$10,000 = $1000

and she pays 25% on the amount over $20,000, which tax is ...

  0.25×($40,000 -20,000) = $5000

The total amount of tax Beatrice pays on her $40,000 income is ...

  $1000 +5000 = $6000 . . . . tax on $40,000

__

b)

The tax as a percentage of $40,000 is ...

  $6,000/$40,000 × 100% = 15% . . . . percentage of income paid in tax

__

c)

The amount left after tax, rent, and bills is ...

  $40,000 -tax -rent -bills = $12,000

  bills = $28,000 -tax -rent

  bills = $28,000 -6,000 -10,800 = $11,200

Beatrice spends $11,200 on bills.

What is the value of C that will make the expression a perfect square trinomial? x2−10/3x+C

Answers

Answer:

  C = 25/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the perfect square trinomial ...

  (x -a)² = x² -2ax +a²

The constant (a²) is the square of half the x-coefficient.

For your trinomial, the square of half the x-coefficient is ...

  C = ((-10/3)(1/2))² = (5/3)² = 25/9

You have already traveled 25 miles. If you continue driving at the same speed, x miles per hour, for 5 more hours, you will travel y total miles. Which equation shows how x and y are related?


A. 5x + 25 = y B. 25 – y = 5x
C. 25x + 5 = y D. 25 – 5x = y

Answers

25 miles is the constant. x is the changing factor. x miles per hour for 5 hours is 5x. y is the total amount. This means that our formula is going to be A) 5x + 25 = y.

All of the other options are incorrect.
