Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The expression showing how many more meters Mathieu ran than Edgar ran during that time is $t(m-e)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Edgar ran 'e' meters per second, and Mathieu ran 'm' meters per second. The boys ran for 't' seconds.

The expression $t(m-e)$ describes how many more meters Mathieu ran than Edgar ran during that time.

We can also use the expression $tm-te$ represent the same quantity.

We know that,

$\text{Distance} =\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}$

Distance covered by Edgar = te

Distance covered by Mathieu = tm

Difference in distance $d= tm - te=t(m-e)$

The expression showing how many more meters Mathieu ran than Edgar ran during that time is $t(m-e)$ .

allsm [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term of a sequence = 2n² - 1

Therefore, terms of the sequence will be,

1, 7, 17, 31, 49, ........... n terms

nth term of a different sequence = 40 - n²

Therefore, terms of the sequence will be,

39, 36, 31, 24, 15, 4, -9, -24 .......... n terms

Since, there is no negative number in the first sequence,

Therefore, out of 6 positive terms of second sequence only one number (31) is common in both the sequences.
