5. The 5th figure will have 30 tiles.
6. The 6th figure will have 42 tiles.
7. The pattern is non-linear (quadratic).
8. The 20th figure can be made with 420 tiles.
_____
The Nth figure is made with n*(n+1) tiles. To answer question 8, you must solve
.. n(n +1) = 420
.. n^2 +n -420 = 0
.. (n +21)(n -20) = 0
.. n = 20 or -21 . . . . the negative solution is extraneous
Answer:
length = 14 m
width = 7 m
Step-by-step explanation:
l = length
w = width
l = 2w - 8
w(2w - 8) = 42
2w² - 8w - 42 = 0
you can factor out a 2 to work with smaller numbers:
w² - 4w - 21 = 0
(w - 7)(w + 3) = 0
w = 7
'w' cannot equal a negative so we discount it as an answer
find length:
l = 2(7) - 8
l = 14 - 8 or 6m
Answer:
Cost of One Journal = $3.99
Cost of One pen = $0.59
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Cost of One Journal = x
Cost of One pen = y
We can make equation from given statements.
Mr. Bowden purchases 18 journals and 40 pencils for $95.42.
Ms. Jacinto purchases 11 journals and 16 pencils for $53.33.
Now solving these equations to find the value of x
Multiply eq(1) with 2 and eq(2) with 5
We get the value of x is: x=3.99
Now, putting value of x in equation 1 to find value of y.
So, we get the value of y: y = 0.59
Now, finding the costs:
Cost of One Journal = x = $3.99
Cost of One pen = y = $0.59
Answer:
$342.30
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the computer is $489. The computer is discounted 30%, which means that 30% of the price is removed from the original price.
30% of 489 is
489 * 0.3 which is $146.7
146.7 is the discounted amount, not the selling price. To find the selling price, subtract how much is discounted ( 146.7) from the original price (489).
489-146.7= 342.3
