Let x+3, 2x+1, and 5x+2 be consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence. find the absolute value of the common difference of the terms.

Answers

Answer 1
If the numbers are in arithmetic sequence, this means that the difference between the consecutive terms is equal.

Difference between first and second terms,
D1 = (2x + 1) - (x + 3)
D1 = x - 2

Difference between second and third terms,
 D2 = (5x + 2) - (2x + 1) 
 D2 = 3x + 1

Equating the differences,
D1 = D2
x - 2 = 3x + 1

Transposing the variables and constants to each of the sides of the equation,
x - 3x = 1 + 2
-2x = 3

Dividing the equation by -2,
x = -3/2

Substituting this value to either of the difference,
D1 = x - 2 = (-3/2) - 2 = -7/2

The absolute value of the difference is 7/2. Thus, the answer is 7/2.

0.80x=22.00+30.00
0.80x=52.00
x=52.00/0.80

x= 65

y=100-65 = 35

0.5x65 = 32.50

35*0.30=10.5

32.5-10.5 = 22

 there were 65 correct answers


Answer:

If a cone and a sphere have the same radius and the same height what is the relationship among the volumes of the two shapes

Answers

V (cone) = πR².H/3

V (sphere) =(4/3).π.R³

Given: Same Radius and  cone a nd sphere same  H =2R. Replace H with 2R

V (cone) = πR².(2R)/3 = 2πR³/3

Then V (sphere)[ = (4/3).π.R³]= 2 V (cone) [ = 2πR³/3]

Answer:

the volume of the sphere will be 4 times the volume of the cone;

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on volume comparison

Volume of a sphere=4/3 ×r³

Volume of a cone= /3×r²h

where r is the radius and h is the height

Apply the condition

If r=h=1 unit

Then volume of sphere will be= 4/3 × ×1³ = 4/3

And volume of the cone will be= /3 ×1²×1 =/3

We can see the volume of the sphere will be 4 times the volume of the cone;

4/3 = 4×/3

2x^3y + 18xy - 10x^2y - 90y Part A: Rewrite the expression so that the GCF is factored completely. (3 points)

Answers

Final answer:

To factor 2x^3y + 18xy - 10x^2y - 90y, find the GCF of the terms, rewrite the expression, factor out the GCF from the terms inside the parentheses, and simplify the expression.

Explanation:

To factor the expression 2x^3y + 18xy - 10x^2y - 90y, we can begin by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms. The GCF of the coefficients is 2, and the GCF of the variables is y.

So, we can rewrite the expression as 2y(x^3 + 9x - 5x^2 - 45).

Next, we can factor out the GCF from the terms inside the parentheses. The GCF of x^3, 9x, -5x^2, and -45 is x. Factoring out x, we get x(x^2 + 9 - 5x - 45).

Finally, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses. Rearranging the terms, we have x(x^2 - 5x + 9 - 45). Combining like terms, we get x(x^2 - 5x - 36).

a hot air balloon holds 3,249 cubic meters kf helium. the density of the helium is 0.1785 kilograms per cubic meter. how many kilograms of helium does the balloon contain, round to the nearest tenth of a kilogram?

Answers

TO determine the mass of the helium in the balloon, we make use of the density of the gas that is given in the problem and the volume of helium that is present. Density is a property of a material which describes the mass of a material per unit volume. By multiplying the volume to density, we get the mass of the helium gas in the balloon. We do as follows:

Mass = Density x Volume
Mass = 0.1785 kg / m^3 x 3249 m^3
Mass = 579.9465 kg

Therefore, the mass of helium gas in the hot air balloon would be about 579.9 kg.

Use the drop-down menus to complete each statement to show why √65 is between 12 and 18.

Answer:

12 < 6√5 < 18

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in the question 4 < 5 < 9 and we have to show 6√5 is between 12 and 18.

For box number 1.

4 < 5 < 9 ⇒ √4 < √5 < √9

For the box number 2.

√4 < √5 < √9    ⇒   2 < √5 < 3

For the box number 3.

we multiply the inequality by 6.

6×(2 < √5 < 3) ⇒ 6×2 < 6×√5 < 6×3

Therefore final answer is 6×2 < 6×√5 < 6×3 ⇒ 12 < 6√5 < 18

Final answer:

The square root of 65 (√65) falls between 8 and 9, as these are the square roots of the closest perfect square numbers (64 and 81 respectively). The range of 12 to 18 provided in the question seems incorrect.

Explanation:

The student's question is referring to the mathematical concept of square roots of numbers. The square root of a number is a value which, when multiplied by itself, yields the original number. In the case of √65, we need to locate it between two perfect square numbers, which are 64 (8^2) and 81(9^2). As a result, √65 should fall between 8 and 9.

However, the interval of 12 and 18 as stated in the question seems to be a mistake, as they are not the correct boundaries for the value of √65. Please verify the numbers in your question.

How many different 1010-letter permutations can be formed from 88 identical h's and two identical t's?

Answers

We are given 8 h's and 2 t's.

A permutation of these letters is simply an arrangement in a row.

For example:

h h h t h h t h h h

or 

h t h h h h h h t h


The number of arrangements is equal to the number of pairs of positions we fix for t, the rest of the positions are filled with h:

these positions are :

    (1, 2), (1, 3), (1,4).....                     (1, 10)
           (2, 3), (2,4).....                    (2, 10)

                                                      (9,10)

so the 1st position combined with any of the remaining 9
the 2 position combined with any of the remaining 8
...
the 9th position combined with the remaining 1

this makes 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45 positions to place the 2 t's.

Jamie has invested $1500 in a savings account. Each month the account pays an interest of 3.8%. How much money will she have in her account 4 years later if she does not make any deposits or withdrawals (round to the nearest dollar)?
A) $1,257
B) $1,557
C) $1,559
D) $2,341

Answers

Use the formula I=PRT. P = Principal, R = Rate, and T= Time. In this case P = 1500, R = 3.8%, and T = 48 because 12 months in a year multiplied by 4 years. So at the end, I = 1500*3.8%*48. Then add the amount from the equation to her starting balance of 1500

Answer:

$4236.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jamie has invested $1500 in a savings account. Each month the account pays an interest of 3.8%. We are asked to find the total amount Jamie will have in her account after 4 years.

We will use simple interest formula to solve our given problem.

[tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex], where,

A = Final amount after t years,

P = Principal amount,

r = Interest rate in decimal form,

t = Number of years.

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form.

[tex]3.8\%=\frac{3.8}{100}=0.038[/tex]

Since the we have been given monthly interest rate, so we will convert the given rate to annual interest rate by multiplying 0.038 by 12.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

[tex]A=\$1500(1+0.038*12*4)[/tex]  

[tex]A=\$1500(1+1.824)[/tex]

[tex]A=\$1500(2.824)[/tex]  

[tex]A=\$4236[/tex]  

Therefore, Jamie will have $4236 in her account after 4 years.

Jacob and Isaiah are brothers. Their combined ages are 63. Jacob is 7 years older than Isaiah. How old are each of the boys?

Answers

There are two unknowns in this problem. To start, let's assign variables to each of them. Let x be the age of Jacob and y be the age of Isaiah. Then, we formulate equations based on the relationships stated.

x = 7 + y   --> eqn 1
x + y = 63  --> eqn 2

Substituting eqn 1 to eqn 2, then solve for x and y:

(7+y)+y = 63
7 + 2y = 63
2y = 63 - 7
2y = 56
y = 56/2
y = 28
x = 28 + 7 = 35

Therefore, Jacob is 35 years old, and Isaiah is 28 years old.

Final answer:

To solve this problem, set up a system of equations and solve for the variables. Isaiah is 28 years old and Jacob is 35 years old.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations.

Let's say Isaiah's age is represented by x. Jacob's age is then represented by x + 7, since he is 7 years older than Isaiah.

We know that the sum of their ages is 63, so we can set up the equation: x + (x + 7) = 63.

Simplifying the equation gives us: 2x + 7 = 63.

Subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation gives us: 2x = 56.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 gives us: x = 28.

So, Isaiah is 28 years old, and Jacob is 28 + 7 = 35 years old.
