The option yes, d = -2 is correct

The arithmetic sequence or progression is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

The formula of an arithmetic sequence is

           [tex]a_{n}[/tex] = [tex]a_{1}[/tex] + (n-1)d

Here the sequence is 18, 16, 14, 12, 10...... which is in arithmetic sequence as there is a common difference between them.

Now we have to find the common difference between the two consecutive terms of the series,

common difference (d) = 16- 18 = 14 - 16 = -2

Therefore the series is an arithmetic sequence and the common difference between them is -2.

Jane is 2x+3 years old. (answer)

In this case, we can use Kay as the base/foundation in this problem. Kay is x years old. Mary is twice as old as Kay, making Mary 2 times x or 2x. We are solving for Jane. Jane is 3 years older than Mary, who we know is 2x. We can add on 3 years making the final expression for Jane's age: 2x+3. Since we do not know Kay's age, or x, we cannot solve this problem any further.

The sequence converges as the degree of the numerator and denominator are the same.

In this question we have the case of a rational equation representing a sequence, of which we must determine if the sequences converges and diverges. An useful form to prove the convergence of rational equations is using limit and algebra properties:

(5 · n - 1) / (n + 1)

[(5 · n - 1) / (n + 1)] · 1

[(5 · n - 1) / (n + 1)] · (n / n)

[(5 · n - 1) · n] / [(n + 1) · n]

[(5 · n - 1) / n] / [(n + 1) / n]

(5 - 1 / n) / (1 + 1 / n)

As n → + ∞, then 1 / n → 0 and the limit of (5 · n - 1) / (n + 1) is 5. Thus, the sequence converges as the degree of the numerator and denominator are the same.

When given 3 meters of cloth and it is to be divided in a ratio of 3:7 then one part will have 0.9 meters  and the other will have 2.1 meters.

The first thing to do is to find the denominator of the ratio by summing the two numbers in the ratio:

= 3 + 7

= 10

The first part of the cloth would be:
= 3 / 10 x 3 meters

= 0.3 x 3 meters

= 0.9 meters

The second part of the cloth would be:

= 7 / 10 x 3 meters

= 0.7 x 3

Answer:       5.1 x 10⁻¹ kg

To find the mass of water in the bottle, we can multiply the mass of one molecule by the number of molecules.

By using dimensional analysis, or by cancelling out units, we can figure out what to multiply or divide. Dimensional analysis uses fractions written with units. Dividing the same unit cancels out units we don't need.

To solve:

We are looking for the mass of H₂O in the bottle.

The units we need in the answer are:      [tex]\displaystyle{ \frac{kg}{bottle} }[/tex]

The question tells us:

Our equation puts the fractions in an equation, making them multiply to get the units we need.

[tex]\displaystyle{ \frac{(3 * 10^{-29}\ kg)}{1\ H_{2}O} \ *\ \frac{(1.7*10^{28}\ H_{2}O)}{1\ bottle}}\ =\ \frac{kg}{bottle}[/tex]

Why is this equation correct?

Remember that dividing the same unit will cancel them out. In the equation, we have H₂O in a numerator and H₂O in a denominator. So, H₂O will cancel out. In the end, we will only have kg in the numerator and bottle in the denominator.

Take the equation we wrote. Now that we know our equation gives us the right units, we only need the front part.

[tex]\displaystyle{ \frac{(3 * 10^{-29}\ kg)}{1\ H_{2}O} \ *\ \frac{(1.7*10^{28}\ H_{2}O)}{1\ bottle}}[/tex]

Cancel out H₂O:

[tex]=\displaystyle{ \frac{(3 * 10^{-29}\ kg)}{1} \ *\ \frac{(1.7*10^{28})}{1\ bottle}}[/tex]

Simplify the equation:

[tex]=\displaystyle{ \frac{(3 * 10^{-29})*(1.7*10^{28})\ kg}{1\ bottle}[/tex]

[tex]=\displaystyle{ \frac{3 * 10^{-29}*1.7*10^{28}\ kg}{1\ bottle}[/tex]

Use exponent rules to multiply 10⁻²⁹ with 10²⁸:

[tex]=\displaystyle{ \frac{3 *1.7*10^{28-29}\ kg}{1\ bottle}[/tex]

[tex]=\displaystyle{ \frac{3*1.7*10^{-1}\ kg}{1\ bottle}[/tex]

Multiply within the numerator to simplify:

[tex]=\displaystyle{ \frac{5.1*10^{-1}\ kg}{1\ bottle}[/tex]

∴ The mass of water in the bottle is 5.1 x 10⁻¹ kg.

plug y=4x-21 into 7x+y=12 to get

7x + (4x-21) = 12 -> 11x -21 = 12 -> 11x = 33 -> x = 3

plug x=3 into y=4x-21 to get

y = 4(3) - 21 = 12 - 21 = -9

Answer:

If you're just looking for the area of the square, then it's 49m. If you want the surface area of the whole pyramid, it's 189.

Step-by-step explanation:

For just the square, it's easy: Multiply the side lengths. 7x7 is 49.

For the surface area, find the area of the square (49) and the four triangles. To find the areas of the triangles, multiply the base (bottom, here it's the side length of the square) by the height (in this case 10m) and divide by 2. 7x10=70 and 70/2=35. Now since there are 4 triangles, multiply that by 4. 35x4=140, and now add the area of the square; 140+49=189. I don't think you wanted the surface area though, but I hope this helps!

The claim made by Morehouse college make more sense as their ratio of winning a game than losing it is higher.

a) In home games, the Spelman college won 10 wins whereas Morehouse College won only 9 games.

So, Spelman College has a better team than Morehouse College in home games.

b ) In Away games, Morehouse College won 56 games whereas Spelman College only won 12 games. So, Morehouse College has a better team than Spelman College in Away games.

Answer:

The integers are 20 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first even integer be x . Then the next consecutive even integer
= x  + 2
The relationship between these two integers is the difference of the squares = 84

This means
(x + 2)² - x² = 84

Use the relationship a² - b² = (a + b) (a -b)

Here a = x + 2 and b = x

So

a + b = (x + 2 ) + x = x + 2 + x = x + x + 2 = 2x + 2
a  - b = (x + 2) - x = x + 2 - x = x -x + 2 = 2

Therefore

(a + b)(a - b) in terms of x is
(2x + 2) x 2 = 4x + 4

We know this is 84

So 4x + 4 = 84

Subtract 4 on both sides:
4x = 84 -4

4x = 80

x = 20

So the next consecutive even integer = 22

The integers are 20 and 22

The factor that is not a possible confounding factor is B. the expected sales for the year 2014.

A confounding factor is a third variable that influences or explains both the independent and dependent variables.

The independent variable here is the year while sales are the dependent variable.

However, confounding factors could include the number of new buildings constructed in 2013, which was not factored in by the architectural company and the state of the economy in 2013.

Thus, the expected sales for the year 2014 cannot be a confounding variable for the decreased sales in 2013 because it cannot explain the 2013 performance.

Negative powers of 10 helpful when writing and comparing small numbers.

Small numbers (numbers between 0 and 1) are written with a negative power of ten. The specific power of 10 indicates just how big or how small the number is. You can compare two numbers written in scientific notation by looking at their powers of 10. The number with the greater power of 10 will be the greater number.

When comparing small numbers, write these numbers in scientific notation (only one non-xero digit must be before point) and then

For example- 0.00003450000

                      3.45 x 10 -5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine what fraction of the container 6 gallons is. We know the difference between 2/5 and 7/10 is 6 gallons, so all we have to do is solve for 7/10 - 2/5. The common denominator is 10, as both 5 and 10 are factors of 10. 10/5 is 2, so we multiply the numerator of 2/5 by 2.

7/10 - 4/10 = 3/10

We now know that 6 gallons is 3/10 of the container. Now we solve.

10/3 = 3 1/3

So:

6 x 3 1/3 = 20

Answer:

20 gallons.-

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of gallons that the container holds.

The we have the equation

2/5 x + 6 = 7/10 x

Multiply through be 10

4x + 60 = 7x

3x = 60

x = 20.
