find x so that x+3, 2x+1, and 5x+2 are consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3 + d  = 2x + 1              First term plus common difference = 2nd term

x -2 = d

x + 3 + 2d = 5x+2              First term + 2 d = third term    re-arrange:

4x-1 = 2d                            sub in the definition of d from above

4x -1 = 2 (x-2)

4x-1 = 2x-4

2x = -3

x = -3/2

Answer 2

If x+3, 2x+1, and 5x+2 are consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence then x is -3/2.

What is Sequence?

Sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters.

The sequence in which consecutive terms will have common difference is called as Arithmetic sequence.

x+3, 2x+1, and 5x+2

The common difference between first term and second term

d=2x+1-x-3

d=x-2

The common difference between second term and third term

5x+2-2x-1=d

3x+1=d

Now plug in d value

3x+1=x-2

Subtract x from both sides

3x-x=-3

2x=-3

Divide both sides by 2

x=-3/2

Hence, if x+3, 2x+1, and 5x+2 are consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence then x is -3/2.

If f(x) = 16x^2 – 20x, what is the value of f(3)?
(Pls show work)

Answers

Answer:

  f(3) = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate a function for a specific value of the variable, put the value in the function's expression where the variable is, and do the arithmetic.

__

Sometimes it works well to simplify the expression a bit.

  f(x) = 16x^2 -20x = 4x(4x -5)

  f(3) = 4(3)(4(3) -5)) = (12)(7)

  f(3) = 84

Which THREE statements would produce the truth value F when pis true and q is false?

Answers

The THREE statements that would produce the truth value F when p is true and q is false are (a) p → q (b) ¬ p ∧ ¬ q (d) q ∨ ¬ p

How to determine the statements with a false truth value?

To do this, we simply analyze each option

The given parameters are:

p = true

q = false

(a) p → q

This means that:

If p then q

So, we have:

If true then false

The above statement would return false.

(b) ¬ p ∧ ¬ q

This means that:

If not p and not q

So, we have:

If not true and not false

i.e.

If false and true

The above statement would return false.

(c) p → ¬ q

This means that:

If p then not q

So, we have:

If true then not false

i.e.

If true then true

The above statement would return true.

(d) q ∨ ¬ p

This means that:

If q and not p

So, we have:

If false and not true

i.e.

If false and false

The above statement would return false.

Hence, the THREE statements that would produce the truth value F when p is true and q is false are (a) p → q (b) ¬ p ∧ ¬ q (d) q ∨ ¬ p

Suppose that the given quadratic equation is

The equation 6 = 2x^2 - 11x has two solutions, p and q, with p being greater than q.

A function relates an input to an output. The three main parts of a function are the inputs, outputs and the relationship.

The formal definition of a function is that it relates each element of a set with exactly one element of another set (possibly the same set).

In other words, one element must be mapped to another element.

Each element cannot be mapped to two elements.

What is the common difference between successive terms in the sequence? 2, 8, 14, 20, 26,. –6 –4 4 6.

Answers

Answer:

The common difference is the difference between any two consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence.

The formula which is used to find the common difference in AP is

d = an - an-1

Here the common difference is

d = a2 - a1 = 8 - 2 = 6

d = a3 - a2 = 14 - 8 = 6

d = a4 - a3 = 20 - 14 = 6

d = a5 - a4 = 26 - 20 = 6

2, 8, 14, 20, 26 … = 2, (2 + 6), (8 + 6), (14 + 6), (20+ 6) …

Therefore, the common difference is 6.

In a company's first year in operation, it made an annual profit of $140,000. The profit of the company increased at a constant 20% per year each year. How much total profit would the company make over the course of its first 14 years of operation, to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer:

  $8,287,429

Step-by-step explanation:

The total profit will be the sum of a geometric series. The formula for that sum is ...

  Sn = a1 × (r^n -1)/(r -1)

where a1 is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms.

__

Here, the series has first term $140,000, common ratio 1+0.20 = 1.2, and we want the total of 14 terms. The total profit is ...

  S14 = ($140,000) × (1.2^14 -1)/(1.2 -1) ≈ $8,287,429

In the first 14 years of operation, the total profit would be $8,287,429.
