find the explict formula for 15, 12, 9, 6

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

15, 12, 9, 6

To write the explicit formula, use the form:

[tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)[/tex]

Where

a1 = first term = 15

d = common difference = 12 - 15 = -3

n = number of terms

Therefore, the explicit formula is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} a_n=15-3(n-1) \\ \\ a_n=15-3n+3 \\ \\ a_n=18-3n \end{gathered}[/tex]

ANSWER:

[tex]a_n=18-3n[/tex]

UsetheprimefactorsmethodtofindtheGCFof76,190,and931.

Answers

There are several ways to calculate the GCF

Let's use the Prime Factorization.

1) List the numbers in a row. As we can see, 76, 190 are both divisible by 2

So le's start dividing by the prime number 2, up to next divisible prime number as it follows:

As we can see the Greatest Common Divisor to both 76,190 and 931 is the prime number 19

Therefore, we can state the GCD of 76,190, 931 as 19

help me please im not understanding on the right side it says: to the total number of people present. Express as a simplified ratio

Answers

ANSWER

4 : 9

EXPLANATION

The total number of people present is the number of females plus the number of males:

[tex]125+100=225[/tex]

The ratio of number of males to total number of people is:

[tex]\frac{100}{225}[/tex]

We have to simplify this fraction. Both 100 and 225 are divisible by 5:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 100\colon5=20 \\ 225\colon5=45 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\frac{100}{225}=\frac{20}{45}[/tex]

And then again, 20 and 45 are divisible by 5:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 20\colon5=4 \\ 45\colon5=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\frac{100}{225}=\frac{20}{45}=\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

We can't simplify more than that, so the ratio is 4 : 9

find the slope of a line that is PARALLEL to y=3/5x-2

Answers

Parallel lines have the same slope.

In this case, the slope of the line is 3/5.

Then, any line that satisfies y=3/5*x+C, being C any constant, is parallel to our line.

Then, when C=0 for example, we have the line y=3/5*x that is parallel and goes through the center of coordinates (0,0).

Graphically, we can see that they a re parallel:

Answer: y = 3/5*x + C, with C=constant. There are infinte solutions if no other restriction is made, so for example y=3/5*x is parallel to y=3/5*x-2.

What is Truth table?

A truth table is a breakdown of a logic function by listing all possible values the function can attain. Such a table typically contains several rows and columns, with the top row representing the logical variables and combinations, in increasing complexity leading up to the final function.

Let's proof it by using truth table :

The mistake was made on line 4, the correct steps to solve the expression are:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 12x-19=-4(3x-9)-15 \\ 12x-19=-12x+36-15 \\ 12x-19=-12x+21 \\ 24x-19=21 \\ 24x-19\textcolor{#FF7968}{+19}=21\textcolor{#FF7968}{+19} \\ \textcolor{#FF7968}{24x=40} \\ x=\frac{40}{24}=\frac{5}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Mick O'Meara budgeted $315 per month for electricity and $238 per month for gas. His expenses for a twelve-month period were $3,950 for electricity and $3,055 for gas.How much less did he budget annually for the two expenses than he needed?$339$344$357$369None of these choices are correct.

Answers

In order to know how much he budgeted annually for each expense, we need to multiply each month budget by 12:

annual budget for electricity: 12 * 315 = 3780

annual budget for gas: 12 * 238 = 2856

So, the total annual budget was:

3780 + 2856 = 6636

On the other hand, his real expenses for that year were:

3950 + 3055 = 7005

Then, to find how much less he budget than he needed, we can find the difference between those two values:

7005 - 6636 = 369

Therefore, the last option is correct.
