D=4n-2, d+2=4n-2+2, d+2=4n
(d+2)/4=(4n)/4, 1/4d+1/2=n
n=1/4n+1/2

size 3=
n=1/4*3/1=3/4, 3/4+1/2=5/4=1 1/4
size 3=1 1/4

size 6=
n=1/4*6/1=6/4, 6/4+1/2=8/4=2
size 6=2

size 10=
n=1/4*10/1=10/4, 10/4+1/2=12/4=3
size 10=3

Answer:

The penny size d is given by the literal equation d=4n-2

Where n is the length (in inches) of the nail.

We can deduce the value of n from equation above:

(d+2)/4=n

Now we have to find n with various values of d.

1. when d = 3 inches

n=(3+2)/4

=>n=5/4

n = 1.25 inches

2. when d = 6 inches

n=(6+2)/4

=>n=8/4

n = 2 inches

3. when d = 10 inches

n=(10+2)/4

=>n=12/4

n = 3 inches

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

A function g(x) = x² has been given as the parent function.

This function then shifted 5 units down.

Translated  function formed will be f(x) = x² - 5

Further this graph has been shifted 4 units to the left then the function will become

f(x) = [x - (-4)]² - 5

f(x) = (x + 4)² - 5

Therefore, option C is the answer.

8 times of the eight term of an arithmetic progression is equal to 12 times of the twelfth term. find its first term if the comm
denpristay [2]

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the 8th term as x and the 12th term as y.

This would mean that 8x=12y

Because the common difference between terms is -2 and term 8 and term 12 are 4 terms apart, this means that the 12th term is 8 less than the 8th term, so x-8=y

Now we can use this to substitute y with x in the first equation. This would give us:

8x=12(x-8)

Which we can expand and solve:

8x=12x-96

-4x=-96

Therefore x=24

This means the 8th term is 24 and the 12th term is 16 (24-8).

To test if this is correct we can do:

8x24=12x16

Which indeed are equal, both sides multiply to 192.

Now that we have our 8th term, we can find the 1st term, which is 7 terms away, therefore we just add 14 to the 8th term 24. (7x2=14)

24+14=38.

The first term is 38.

Hope this helped!
