If 24, x, and 6 form the first three terms of an arithmetic sequence
then which of the following is the value of x?
(1) 12
(3) 20
(2) 15
(4) 42

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  15

===============================================

Work Shown:

d = common difference

p = first term = 24

q = second term = a+d = 24+d

r = third term = q+d = 24+d+d = 24+2d = 6

------------

Solve for d

24+2d = 6

2d = 6-24

2d = -18

d = -18/2

d = -9

We add -9 to each term to get the next term. This is the same as subtracting 9 from each term to get the next term.

------------

First term = 24

Second term = 24-9 = 15

Third term = 15-9 = 6

We get the sequence 24, 15, 6

D. Reflection along y-axis

Answer: A) Reflection along the line y = -1

===========================================================

Explanation:

Point A is at (1,5). Point A' is at (1,-7).

Apply the midpoint formula to find the center of these two points.

You should get (1,-1) as that midpoint.

Follow these steps for B(-1,3) and B'(-1,-5) to get the midpoint (-1,-1)

Those midpoints we found are located on the mirror line. We only need two such points to plot it. Drawing a line through (1,-1) and (-1,-1) graphs the equation y = -1. This is the horizontal line through -1 on the y axis.

Point Q is located at (-4, 6). Point R is located at (8, 6).
What is the distance from point Q to point R?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Given;

Point Q is located at (-4, 6). Point R is located at (8, 6).

Note: Use distance formula.

Now;

[tex](d) = \sqrt{( {x2 - x1)}^{2} + ( {y2 - y1)}^{2} } [/tex]

Keep all values;

[tex](d) = \sqrt{ {(8 + 4)}^{2} + ( {6 - 6)}^{2} } [/tex]

Simplify;

[tex](d) = \sqrt{( {12)}^{2} } [/tex]

Therefore, the distance is 12 units.

Answer:

A,53.37°

360-306.63=53.37

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

a whole circle has 360 degrees (one time all around).

so, going from J over M to L is "using" already 306.63 degrees of that. going then from L to J just finishes the full trip of going one time around the whole circle.

so, LJ is just the missing "piece" to 360 degrees.

LJ = 360 - 306.63 = 53.37

Which properties belong to all isosceles triangles? Check all that apply.

The base angles are congruent.
All three angles are congruent.
The two sides opposite the base angles are congruent.
All three sides are congruent.
The bisector of the vertex angle is the perpendicular bisector of the base.

Answers

3 Answers:  Choice A, Choice C, Choice E

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices to see which are true and which are false.

A) True. The base angles are the same measure, and they are opposite the congruent sides. Any isosceles triangle has exactly two congruent sides.B) False. This is describing an equilateral triangle (where all three angles are 60 degrees each).C) True. See choice A.D) False. This is describing an equilateral triangle where all sides are the same length. E) True. You can use the SAS (side angle side) congruence theorem to prove that the angle bisector is also the perpendicular bisector. Furthermore, this segment is also a median. This only applies to the vertex angle.

Answer:

The base angles are congruent.

The two sides opposite the base angles are congruent.

The bisector of the vertex angle is the perpendicular bisector of the base.

C. The data set has the same median and mode
D. The data set has an interquartile range of 9

Answers

Answer:

A. The data set has a median that is not in the data set

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of the data set is the middle  most number  because there is an even amount of number its 8+10/2 or 9 and that is not in the  data set. There is no mode because no number is repeated. The IQR is 12+14/2-4+6/2  or 8 so that means the correct answer is  a.

Rochelle deposits $6,000 in an IRA. What will be the value (in dollars) of her investment in 15 years if the investment is earning 9% per year and is compounded continuously? (Simplify your answer completely. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:

$ 23,145

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a compound interest question where the interest is compounded continuously. Hence, the formula for the value of total amount of investment is:

A = P×e^rt

Where:

A = Total value of investment after t years

P = Principal or Initial amount invested = $6,000

e = Exponential function

r = interest rate = 9% = 0.09

t = time in years = 15

So:

A = $6000 × e^15 × 0.09

A = $6000 × e^1.35

A = $23,144.553184

Approximately , A ≈$23,145

Therefore, the value (in dollars) to the nearest cent of Rochelle's investment in 15 years if the investment is earning 9% per year and is compounded continuously is $23,145.

Scouts of ABC school made to run around a regular hexagonal ground fig 9, of perimeter 270 m .If they started running from point X and covered two fifth (2/5th) of the total distance.Which side of the ground will they reach?

Answers

Answer:

Scouts are on the third side in the sense they are running

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular hexagonal shape of perimeter 270 has each side of                 270/6 = 45  

Let´s call d  the run distance  then

d = 2/5 * 270      d = 108 m

We don´t have fig 9 available therefore if  X is a vertex in the hexagon or at the middle point of one side, scouts are 108 m from the starting point which means they had run 2,4 sides of the hexagon. If X is not either a vertex or a middle point of a side then, we have two solutions for the question depending on the sense the scouts took when began the run (clockwise or counterclockwise)

15x + 45 = 15 (3 + x) always never one solution how do I do it​

Answers

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to try to get rid of the ().

To do this:

15 * 3 and 15 * x

This makes 45 and 15x after the = , so the formula is now:

15x + 45 = 45 + 15x

Now get the 15x to the left side. When a number switches sides, it becomes negative when positive and positive when negative. So in this case 15x will become -15x and the 45(on the left) becomes - 45

15x - 15x = 45 - 45

Answer: 0

15x + 45 = 45 + 15x
15x - 15x = 45 - 45
0x = 0 (*)
If we plug any real numbers of x to equation (*) we will always get 0 = 0
So the set of solutions of this question is all real numbers
