We have an arithmetic progression:
Nth=an
an=a₁+(n-1)d
a₁ is the first term.
n=number of terms.
d=common difference
10,17,24,31...
a₁=10
d=a₂-a₁=17-10=7
Therefore:
Nth=an
an=a₁+(n-1)d
an=10+(n-1)7
an=10+7n-7
an=7n+3.
Therefore: the formula for the nth is, an=a+(n-1), in this case; an=7n+3,
To check:
a₁=7*1+3=10
a₂=7*2+3=17
a₃=7*3+3=24
a₄=7*4+3=31
a₅=7*5+3=38.......
Answer:
(3)11
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that

We have to find the sum of positive roots of the equation.




Factor of 336
2,3,4,6,8,7,
Let x=2

x=2 is not the root of equation
x=-2

Hence x=-2 is the root of equation.
x+2 is a factor of equation.
x=3

Therefore, x=3 is the root of equation.






Positive roots are 3 and 8
Sum of positive roots=3+8=11
Option (3) is true.
Difference in the number of miles Nathan flew between the first and second parts of his trip is 980 miles
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that Nathan flew 3,547 miles from Canada to California during the first part of his trip
He flew 2,567 miles from California to Hawaii during the second part of his trip
Therefore,
first part of his trip = 3547 miles
second part of his trip = 2567 miles
Difference in the number of miles Nathan flew between the first and second parts of his trip is given as:
difference = first part of his trip - second part of his trip
difference = 3547 - 2567 = 980
Therefore, the difference in number is 980 miles
Answer:
$158.8
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 months in 1 year.
If in 1 year, it looses value of 10.3%, so in a month it will loose value of:
10.3%/12 = 0.8583% per month
So, to find the decreased value (in dollars) per month, we got to find 0.8583% of 18,500 dollars.
First, we need to convert percentage to decimal by dividing by 100. Then we multiply that to 18,500 to get our answer. So:
0.8583% = 0.8583/100 = 0.008583
Now,
0.008583 * $18,500 = $158.7855
Rounded to nearest tenth (1 decimal pae) = $158.8
