Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The information in the question can be used to form an equation which goes thus:

2nd term = a + d = 4 ...... i

5th term = a + 4d = 22 ....... ii

From equation i

a = 4 - d ........ iii

Put equation iii into ii

a + 4d = 22

(4 - d) + 4d = 22

4 - d + 4d = 22

4 + 3d = 22

3d = 22 - 4

3d = 18

d = 18/3

d = 6

Commons difference is 6

Since a + d = 4

a + 6 = 4

a = 4 - 6

a = -2

The first term is -2

The answer is
A.
Independent variable - number of persons attending (or number of tickets sold);
Dependent variable - the amount donated

Because, the number of persons attending is independent. No one knows how many people are attending. But the amount donated is depended upon the number of people attending.

which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation 0 = 4x2 2x – 1 into the quadratic formula below

irinina [24]

$0 = 4x^2+2x- 1$

Quadratic formula is

$x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

'a' is the coefficient of x^2 = 4

'b' is the coefficient of x = 2

'c' is the constant = -1

Now we plug in all the values in quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x = \frac{-2+-\sqrt{2^2-4(4)(-1)}}{2(4)}$

$x = \frac{-2+-\sqrt{18}}{8}$

The above one is the substitution of values of a,b,c in quadratic formula.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared + h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3.5 feet from the base of a wall?

L = √d² + h²

What is the length of the y-component of the vector plotted below?

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector shown in the figure has components on the x axis and on the y axis.

If each small box on the draw represents a unit, it can be seen that the vector has a component of length equal to 1 on the positive y-axis and a length equal to 4 on the positive x-axis.

Look at the attached image

The sum of these two components results in the vector shown in the figure. Therefore the correct option is option A.

The length is equal to 1
