Which of the following is the algebraic expression that best describes the sequence 1/11, 2/11, /3/11, 4/11A. 11/x
B. 11x
C. x+1/11
D. X/11

Answers

Answer:

The answer is D. (x)/(11)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the correct sequence, we need to find differences in the numerator and the denominator of the fraction between two continuous terms.

In the numerator, the number is increasing in one digit. The first term in the numerator of the sequense is 1, the second is 2, the third is 3, and so on.

In the denominator, the number is constant (11).

Therefore, we define a "x" variable that represents the number in the numerator. So to find the value of the nth place in the sequence is:

(x)/(11)

The answer is D. x/11

Say you need to find the xth place in the sequence. Based on the fact that the 1st place is 1/11, the 2nd place is 2/11, and so on, to find the value of the xth place in the sequence the answer is x/11.

Faye and Andrew have written down the same negative number.Faye squares the number then multiplies by 2 and adds 4.
Andrew multiples the number by 21 then subtracts the result from 40.
They both finish with the same answer. What was the number?

Answers

x - the number

Faye squares the number: x²
then multiplies by 2: 2x²
and adds 4: 2x²+4

Andrew multiplies the number by 21: 21x
then subtracts the result from 40: 40-21x

They both finish with the same answer, so the results are equal.
2x^2+4=40-21x \n2x^2+21x+4-40=0 \n2x^2+21x-36=0 \n2x^2+24x-3x-36=0 \n2x(x+12)-3(x+12)=0 \n2x-3=0 \ \lor \ x+12=0 \n2x=3 \ \lor \ x=-12 \nx=(3)/(2) \ \lor \ x=-12

The number is negative so x=-12.

The number is -12.

In the diagram below, AE = 4, EB = 3, and DE = 2. Find CE.

Answers

Answer: Value of CE = 6.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

AE=4

BE=3

DE=2

Let CE be x.

As we know that

When two chords intersect each other inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal.

Here, we can see that each chord is cut into two segments at the point of where they intersect.

So,

EA.EB=EC.ED\n\n4* 3=x* 2\n\n12=2x\n\n(12)/(2)=x\n\n6=x

Hence, value of CE = 6.

Answers

Answer with explanation:

The given equation is:

    x^2=25\n\nx^2=(\pm 5)^2\n\n x=\pm 5

On the number line, mark circles on 5 and -5 , respectively.

Option B:

    A number line is shown from negative 25 to 0 to positive 25. There are increments of 5 on the number line, and all these increments are labeled. A dot is shown on positive 5, another dot is shown on negative 5 and they are labeled as p and q, respectively.
