The third term of an arithmetic sequence is -8, and the fourth term is -20. What is the second term?

Answer:

y = 3

x =7

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equations using substitution method we say, let

5x + 4y = -22 .................... equation 1

2x – 3y = 5...................... equation 2

from equation 2

2x - 3y = 5

2x = 5 + 3y

divide both sides by 2

we have;

2x/2 = (5+3y)/2

x =(5+3y)/2................................ equation 3

put x = (5+3y)/2 in equation 1

5x + 4y = -22 .................... equation 1

5(5+3y)/2 + 4y = -22

(25 + 15y)/2 + 4y = -22

multiply through by 2

25 + 15y + 8y = -44

25 + 23y = -44

collect the like terms

23y = -44 - 25

23y = -69

divide both sides by 23

23y/23 = -69/23

y = 3

put the value of y= 3 into equation 3

x =(5+3y)/2................................ equation 3

x = (5+3(3)]/2

x = 5+9/2

x =14/2

x =7

Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

10x = 8(x+1)

2x = 8

x = 4

Answer:

40 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say

x=amount each friend has to pay

Then, the price of the gift would be 10x because there are 10 friends and each pays x dollars. But since two friends dropped out, it will now become 8x. Also,  each of the 8 friends has to pay an extra dollar to go back to the original amount, so 8x+8 is also the price of the gift. We set these two expressions equal to each other (because they both represent the price of the gift) so

10x=8x+8. Using the subtraction property of equality (which says if a=b, then a-c=b-c) we subtract 8x from both sides to get

2x=8. Using the division property of equality (which says if a=b, then a/c=b/c) we divide by 2 on both sides to get x=4. But the question asked how much money they planned to collect, or what was the price of the gift, which is 10x, 10*4=40, 40 dollars.

Answer:

Reflection

Step-by-step explanation:

It is reflecting across the Y axis. It is not a dialation, since it is the same shape, but not a different size. Its not rotation, because it wasnt rotated to get to the new shape. And it is not translation, because it is not exactly the same shape (the shape was mirrored)

Answer:

8 to the power of 0

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]8^{0}[/tex] = 1

[tex]8^{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{64}[/tex]

To compare 8 to the power of 0 and 8 to the power of -2, we focus on understanding negative exponents. The answer is that 8 to the power of 0 is greater than 8 to the power of -2.

To compare 8 to the power of 0 and 8 to the power of -2, we need to understand how negative exponents work. When a power of 10 is transferred from the numerator to the denominator, the sign of the exponent changes. 8 to the power of 0 is 1 and 8 to the power of -2 is 1/64. Therefore, 8 to the power of 0 is greater than 8 to the power of -2.

Answer:

-1/2, -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4b² + 8b + 3 = 0

8² - 4(4)(3) = 16 > 0

Real and distinct solutions

4b² + 6b + 2b + 3 = 0

2b(2b + 3) + 1(2b + 3) = 0

(2b + 3)(2b + 1) = 0

b = -1/2, -3/2

The measure of arc GC is 90°

Solution:

Given data:

m∠CHD = 90°

Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°

⇒ m∠GHC + m∠CHD = 180°

⇒ m∠GHC + 90° = 180°

Subtract 90° from both sides, we get

⇒ m∠GHC = 90°

The angle measure of the central angle is equal to the measure of the intercepted arc.

[tex]m\angle GHD = m (ar \ GC)[/tex]

90° = m(ar GC)

Switch the sides.

m(ar GC) = 90°

The measure of arc GC is 90°.

Answer:

About 95% of data lies between 15.6 and 32.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 2.4

Standard Deviation, σ = 4.2

We are given that the distribution of SAT score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Empirical Formula:

We have to find the percentage of data lying between 15.6 and 32.4

[tex]15.6 = 24 - 2(4.2) = \mu - 2\sigma\\32.4 = 24 + 2(4.2) = \mu + 2\sigma[/tex]

Thus, we have to find the percentage of data lying within two standard deviations of the mean. By Empirical formula about 95% of data lies between 15.6 and 32.4

Answer:

[tex]y=4x-7[/tex]

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem I will assume the the function is linear

we have the point (2,1)

we know that

y increases by 4  when x increases by 1

Remember that the formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

so

The slope of the linear function is

[tex]m=\frac{4}{1}[/tex]

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

[tex]y-y1=m(x-x1)[/tex]

substitute

[tex]y-1=4(x-2)[/tex]

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

[tex]y-1=4x-8\\y=4x-8+1\\y=4x-7[/tex]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The question pertains to the characteristics of a linear function whose graph passes through the point (2, 1) with a slope of +4, indicating an increase of 4 in y for every increase of 1 in x. The line's positive slope suggests the graph rises as the x-value increases. The equation of the line is y=4x-7.

The student is asking a question about the characteristics of a linear function based on its graph. Specifically, since the graph passes through the point (2, 1) and the value of y increases by 4 when x increases by 1, we can conclude that the slope of the line is +4. This is because the slope of a line represents the change in y divided by the change in x. Given that the slope is positive, this line will show an upward trend on the graph as the x-value increases, much like other graphs with a positive slope.

To find the equation of the line, we start by using the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We use the point (2, 1) and the slope 4 to solve for b. The process is as follows:
1 = 4(2) + b
1 = 8 + b
b = -7

Therefore, the equation of the function is y = 4x - 7.

Answer:

x = (y - 7)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question given  y=2x+7 , so we are to find the value of x now we first make x the subject of the formulae from  y=2x+7

 y=2x+7............. equation 1

y- 7 = 2x

divide both sides by 2

(y-7)/2= 2x/2

x = (y - 7)/2

to check if your answer is correct

put the value of x in to equation 1

y=2x+7............. equation 1

y = 2[ (y-7)/2] + 7

y = y - 7 + 7

y = y.......... proved

Answer:

[tex]x = - \: 12.55 \: or \: x = 12.55[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve for x in

[tex] {x}^{2} + 4.7^{2} = 13.4^{2} [/tex]

We group constants on the right to get:

[tex]{x}^{2} = 13.4^{2} - {4.7}^{2} [/tex]

We apply difference of two squares

[tex]{x}^{2} = (13.4 - {4.7})(13.4 + 4.7)[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} = 157.47[/tex]

[tex]x = \pm \sqrt{157.47} [/tex]

[tex]x = \pm \: 12.55[/tex]

Answer:

slope = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = [tex]\frac{-1+3}{0+5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]x=5\\\\y=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equations:

        [tex]-6y= -20 + 2x[/tex]    Equation:1

Solving Equation:1 Adding '[tex]6y[/tex]' to both the sides:

             [tex]2x+6y-20=0[/tex]  

Adding '20' both the sides:

              [tex]2x+6y=20[/tex]   Equation:2

[tex]2x - 4y=0\\[/tex]  Equation:3

Subtracting Equation:3 From Equation:2

          [tex]2x+6y-(2x-4y)=20-0\\\\2x+6y-2x+4y=20\\\\10y=20\\\\y=\frac{20}{10}\\\\ y=2[/tex]

Putting the value of 'y' in equation:3

          [tex]2x - 4y=0\\[/tex]

          [tex]2x-4(2)=0\\\\2x-8=0[/tex]

Adding '8' to both the sides

             [tex]2x=8\\\\x=8/2\\\\x=5[/tex]

SO,  

              [tex]x=5\\\\y=2[/tex]

Answer:

y < 1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Subtract 2.1 from both sides

-4.2y + 2.1 - 2.1 > -2.52 - 2.1

-4.2y > -4.62

Step 2:  Divide both sides by -4.2

-4.2y / -4.2 > -4.62 / -4.2

Since you divided by a negative, that flips the sign.

y < 1.1

Answer:  y < 1.1

Answer: Y < 1.1

Answer:z=(pd+59)/(2-p)

Step-by-step explanation:

-p(d+z)=-2z+59

Open bracket

-pd-pz=-2z+59

Collect like terms

2z-pz=pd+59

Factor out z

z(2-p)=pd+59

Divide both sides by (2-p)

z(2-p)/(2-p)=(pd+59)/(2-p)

z=(pd+59)/(2-p)
