Sequences-and-series/161819: This question is from textbook Algebra 1
Please can you help me with Arithmetic Sequences because I don't know how to
do it. The problem say determine whether each sequence is an arithmetic
sequence. If it is, state the common difference.
The problem is 2.1,4.2,8.4,17.6,....
Thanks for your help because I don't get how to do it so if you help me out to
were I can do it on my own then thanks a lot.It's on page 236 my teacher wants
me to do all the even numbers on the practice and apply.

2.1,4.2,8.4,17.6,....
This is not an arithmetic sequence.
The multiplier is (2) IF the fourth term is 16.8 instead of 17.6.
2.1,4.2,8.4,16.8,33.6,67.2,...

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/161834: This word problem was given on a test. I don't remeber the exact wording of the problem but it was something like this. Find the change in feet per minute over 14 minutes between 3300 and 1200. The problem had something to do with moving from outside an airplane to the ground and the work was something like this.
-14x+3300=1200
-3300 -3300
-14x/-14=-2100/-14
x=150
I'm not sure why, but I know the 14 was definitely negative. When I got my paper back, the question was corrected and said it should have been -150 feet per minute because the person was moving towards the ground. Can you have a change in negative feet per minute or would the change still be considered a positive change in a negative direction? I am in ninth grade and am taking honors algebra 1. Please answer as soon as you can.

Answer 119242 by checkley77(12569) About Me  on 2008-10-13 17:21:01 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-14x+3300=1200
IF this is the equation then 150 is the answer.
HOWEVER: IF the 14x is positive then the answer is -150.
Proofs:
-14*150+3300=1200
-2100+3300=1200
1200=1200
--------------------------------
14*-150+3300=1200
-2100+3300=1200
1200=1200

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
12/(15+c)=9/(15-c)
9(15+c)=12(15-c)
135+9c=180-12c
9c+12c=180-135
21c=45
c=45/21
c=2.143 mph is the current.
Proof:
12/(15+2.143)=9/(15-2.143)
12/17.143=9/12.854

Answer 119238 by checkley77(12569) About Me  on 2008-10-13 17:01:21 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area = 4x^3-5x^2-10x-3 and width = 4x+3
(4x^3-5x^2-10x-3)/(4x+3)=(x^2-2x-1) is the length.
This requires long division which is very clumbersome to present here.
Proof:
x^2-2x-1
4x+3 (multiply)

4x^3-8x^2-4x+3x^2-6x-3

Perpendicular to g(x)= 5x-3 (red line) and contains the point (7,4).
A line perpendicular to this line has a slope=-1/5.
Y=mX+b
4=-1/5*7+b
4=-7/5+b
b=4+7/5
b=(20+7)/5
b=27/5 for the y intercept.
y=-x/5+27/5 (green line).

factors of 450=2*3*3*5*5
factors of 432=2*2*2*2*3*3*3
therefore it must be 2 or 3
72424/3=2414.333 thus 3 is not the answer.
2235/2=1117.5 thus 2 is not the answer.
thus there is no common fact within this group of numbers except for (1).
