The 30th term of the given sequence is 82.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of an Arithmetic Progression is a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d and so on.
The given linear sequence (-5,-2,1,4,7) is in the form of Arithmetic Progression with a common difference of 3.

-5, -5+3 = -2, -2+3 = 1, 1+3 = 4 and so on.

The nth term is given by the formula nth term = a + (n - 1) d

where

a = first term

d = common difference

To find the 30th term in the given sequence :

The first term, a = -5 and the common difference, d = 3.

30th term = -5 + (30-1) 3

⇒ -5 + (29) 3

⇒ -5 + 87

⇒ 82

Therefore, the 30th term in the given sequence is 82.

If the numbers below were ordered from least to greatest, which number could you use to replace the blank? 0.20,2/5 □ , 3/4,8/10

faust18 [17]

1/2 would work for the blank space

because as shown in the image you could relate it to a whole for each one and put it to 100 to figure out what the blank could be

the 0.20 can be converted to 1/5 so that way you can put everything into the 100 group

Answer:

$x = 3 + 4\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

OPQ is a right angle triangle.

Using Pythagoras

$x^{2} + (x+5)^{2} = (x+8)^{2}\\x^{2} + x^{2} + 10x +25 = x^{2} + 16x + 64\\x^{2} + x^{2} - x^{2} + 10x - 16x + 25 - 64 = 0\\x^{2} - 6x -39 = 0$

Using quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\x = \frac{-(-6) \± \sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4(1)(-39)}}{2(1)}\\x = \frac{6}{2} \± \frac{\sqrt{192}}{2}\\x = 3 \± \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2}\\x = 3 \± 4\sqrt{3}$
