Answer:

$f(n) =4 + f(n-1) \\for\ n>2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(1)=2\\ f(2)= 6\\ f(3)= 10\\ f(4)= 14\\ f(5)= 18$

Required

Determine the formula

First, we need to solve common difference (d)

$d = f(n) - f(n-1)$

Take n as 2

$d = f(2) - f(2-1)$

$d = 6 - 2$

$d = 4$

Represent each function as a sum of the previous

$f(1) = 2$

$f(2) = 2 + 4 = f(1) + 4$

$f(3) = 6 + 4 = f(2) + 4$

$f(4) = 10 + 4 = f(3) + 4$

$f(5) = 14 + 4 = f(4) + 4$

Represent the function as $f(n)$

$f(n) =f(n-1) + 4$

Reorder

$f(n) =4 + f(n-1) \\for\ n>2$

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle? Enter your answer in the boxes.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the given triangle.

The coordinates of A are (-1,5) .

The coordinates of B are (-1,-3).

The coordinates of C are (5,-3).

Distance formula: $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

AB= $\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(-1+1)^2}=8$ units

BC= $\sqrt{(5+1)^2+(-3+3)^2}=6$ units

AC= $\sqrt{(5+1)^2+(-3-5)^2}=10$ units

Pythagoras theorem: $(Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular\;side)^2}$

$AB^2+BC^2=8^2+6^2=100$

$AC^2=(10)^2=100$

Therefore, $AC^2=AB^2+BC^2$

When a triangle satisfied the Pythagoras theorem then, the triangle is right triangle.

Hence, the given triangle is a right triangle.

We know that circum-center of right triangle is the mid point of hypotenuse.

Mid-point formula: $x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

Using this formula then, we get

Mid-point of hypotenuse AC is given by

$x=\frac{-1+5}{2}=2,y=\frac{5-3}{2}=1$

Hence, the circum-center of triangle is (2,1).

10.5x = 7.5x + 30
10.5x - 7.5x = 30
3x = 30
x = 30/3
x = 10

10.5(10) = 105
7.5(10) + 30 = 75 + 30 = 105

they need to purchase 10 t-shirts from each company for a total of $105 for each company

A consumer is considering two different purchasing options for the car of their choice. The first option, which is leasing, is d

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

y=250x+4000
y=400x+400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

x represents the number of months of ownership; and
y represents the total paid for the car after ‘x' months.

First Option (Leasing)

250x - y + 4000 = 0

Expressing the equation in the Slope-Intercept Form y=mx+b, we have:

y=250x+4000

Second Option (Financing)

$400 for 0 months of ownership, (0,400), and $4400 for 10 months of ownership, (10, 4400).

First, we determine the slope of the line joining (0,400) and (10,4400)

$Slope, m= \dfrac{4400-400}{10-0}= \dfrac{4000}{10}=400$

We have:

y=400x+b

When y=400, x=0

400=400(0)+b

b=400

Therefore, the Slope-Intercept Form of the second option is:

y=400x+400

Significance

In the first option, there is a down payment of $4000 and a monthly payment of $250.
In the second option, there is a down payment of $400 and a monthly payment of $400.

Part B

We notice from the graph that after 24 months, the cost for leasing and financing becomes the same ($10,000). Therefore, a consumer will be better off financing since the downpayment for leasing is higher.

i.e

When x=0, y=$4000 for leasing
When x=0, y=$400 for financing

which point on the graph shows the price of 3 pounds of meat ? use the formula y =3x to find y when x equals 3

Anon25 [30]

Answer: y=9 (point B on the graph)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x

x=3

y=3(3) (3×3)

3x3=9

So 9(y)=3(3x)

Point B which is located at the 9 mark
