A family travels to Bryce Canyon for three days. On the first day, they drove 140 miles. On the second day, they drove 200 miles. What is the least number of miles they drove on the third day if their average number of miles per day was at least 180?
A:To find the average number of something, you would take all of the numbers you want to find the average of, add them together, and divide by the total number of items you added up.
For example: in this question, you have 140 miles, 200 miles, and x miles (the amount of miles they drove on the third day).
You would add all of these miles together and divide by 3, since you added 3 numbers together. This would equal the average.
Finding the average:
Create an equation where all of the miles they drove are added together, divide this expression by 3, and set this greater than or equal to 180 (since they drove at least 180 miles on average).
(140 + 200 + x)/3 ≥ 180Solve for x to find the least number of miles they drove on the third day. Multiply both sides by 3.
140 + 200 + x ≥ 540Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
340 + x ≥ 540Subtract 340 from both sides of the equation.
x ≥ 200The least number of miles the family drove on the third day was 200 miles, since x can't be anything less than 200.
Answer: x = 200 milesCan you please help me with this?

The expression for the sum to 'n' terms of some Arithmetic Sequence are given beliw. Find the 'nth' term of each
i)n^2+2n
ii) n^2- 2n
Arithmetic Sequence
Find:'nth' term of each
i)n^2+2n
ii) n^2- 2n
Solution:1) Sum of first n terms = n² + 2n
We know that,
Sum of first n terms = n/2 * [ a + l ]
Where,
a is first term
l is nth or last term.
Substitute n = 1 to find the sum of first 1 terms i.e., first term (a) of the AP.
→ S₁ = a = (1)² + 2(1)
→ a = 1 + 2
→ a = 3
Hence,
→ n/2 * [ a + l ] = n² + 2n
→ a + l = n(n + 2) * 2/n
→ a + l = 2n + 4
→ l = 2n + 4 - a
→ l = 2n + 4 - 3
→ l = 2n + 1
Hence, the nth term is 2n + 1.
2)S(n) = n² - 2n
→ S₁ = a = (1)² - 2(1)
→ a = - 1
Hence,
→ n/2 * [ - 1 + l ] = n² - 2n
→ l - 1 = n(n - 2) * 2/n
→ l - 1 = 2n - 4
→ l = 2n - 4 + 1
→ l = 2n - 3
Hence, the nth term is 2n - 3.
I hope it will help you.

Step-by-step explanation:
Series
The series of a sequence is the sum of the sequence to a certain number of terms. It is often written as Sn. So if the sequence is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... , the sum to 3 terms = S3 = 2 + 4 + 6 = 12.
The Sigma Notation
The Greek capital sigma, written S, is usually used to represent the sum of a sequence. This is best explained using an example:
This means replace the r in the expression by 1 and write down what you get. Then replace r by 2 and write down what you get. Keep doing this until you get to 4, since this is the number above the S. Now add up all of the term that you have written down.
This sum is therefore equal to 3×1 + 3×2 + 3×3 + 3×4 = 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 30.
3
S 3r + 2
r = 1
This is equal to:
(3×1 + 2) + (3×2 + 2) + (3×3 + 2) = 24 .
The General Case
n
S Ur
r = 1
This is the general case. For the sequence Ur, this means the sum of the terms obtained by substituting in 1, 2, 3,... up to and including n in turn for r in Ur. In the above example, Ur = 3r + 2 and n = 3.
Arithmetic Progressions
An arithmetic progression is a sequence where each term is a certain number larger than the previous term. The terms in the sequence are said to increase by a common difference, d.
For example: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, is an arithmetic progression where d = 2. The nth term of this sequence is 2n + 1 .
In general, the nth term of an arithmetic progression, with first term a and common difference d, is: a + (n - 1)d . So for the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, ... Un = 3 + 2(n - 1) = 2n + 1, which we already knew.
The sum to n terms of an arithmetic progression
This is given by:
Sn = ½ n [ 2a + (n - 1)d ]
You may need to be able to prove this formula. It is derived as follows:
The sum to n terms is given by:
Sn = a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) + … + (a + (n – 1)d) (1)
If we write this out backwards, we get:
Sn = (a + (n – 1)d) + (a + (n – 2)d) + … + a (2)
Now let’s add (1) and (2):
2Sn = [2a + (n – 1)d] + [2a + (n – 1)d] + … + [2a + (n – 1)d]
So Sn = ½ n [2a + (n – 1)d]
Example
Sum the first 20 terms of the sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ... (i.e. the first 20 odd numbers).
S20 = ½ (20) [ 2 × 1 + (20 - 1)×2 ]
= 10[ 2 + 19 × 2]
= 10[ 40 ]
= 400
Geometric Progressions
A geometric progression is a sequence where each term is r times larger than the previous term. r is known as the common ratio of the sequence. The nth term of a geometric progression, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio, is:
arn-1
For example, in the following geometric progression, the first term is 1, and the common ratio is 2:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...
The nth term is therefore 2n-1
The sum of a geometric progression
The sum of the first n terms of a geometric progression is:
a(1 - rn )
1 – r
We can prove this as follows:
Sn = a + ar + ar2 + … + arn-1 (1)
Multiplying by r:
rSn = ar + ar2 + … + arn (2)
(1) – (2) gives us:
Sn(1 – r) = a – arn (since all the other terms cancel)
And so we get the formula above if we divide through by 1 – r .
Example
What is the sum of the first 5 terms of the following geometric progression: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 ?
S5 = 2( 1 - 25)
1 - 2
= 2( 1 - 32)
-1
= 62
The sum to infinity of a geometric progression
In geometric progressions where |r| < 1 (in other words where r is less than 1 and greater than –1), the sum of the sequence as n tends to infinity approaches a value. In other words, if you keep adding together the terms of the sequence forever, you will get a finite value. This value is equal to:
a
1 – r
Example
Find the sum to infinity of the following sequence:
1 , 1 , 1 ,
1
,
1
,
1
, ...
2 4 8 16 32 64
Here, a = 1/2 and r = 1/2
Therefore, the sum to infinity is 0.5/0.5 = 1 .
So every time you add another term to the above sequence, the result gets closer and closer to 1.
Harder Example
The first, second and fifth terms of an arithmetic progression are the first three terms of a geometric progression. The third term of the arithmetic progression is 5. Find the 2 possible values for the fourth term of the geometric progression.
The first term of the arithmetic progression is: a
The second term is: a + d
The fifth term is: a + 4d
So the first three terms of the geometric progression are a, a + d and a + 4d .
In a geometric progression, there is a common ratio. So the ratio of the second term to the first term is equal to the ratio of the third term to the second term. So:
a + d = a + 4d
a a + d
(a + d)(a + d) = a(a + 4d)
a² + 2ad + d² = a² + 4ad
d² - 2ad = 0
d(d - 2a) = 0
therefore d = 0 or d = 2a
The common ratio of the geometric progression, r, is equal to (a + d)/a
Therefore, if d = 0, r = 1
If d = 2a, r = 3a/a = 3
So the common ratio of the geometric progression is either 1 or 3 .

According to a Wired magazine article, of e-mails that are received are tracked using software that can tell the e-mail sender when, where, and on what type of device the e-mail was opened (Wired magazine website). Suppose we randomly select received e-mails.
a.The expected number of emails is 12
b. The variance and the standard deviation is 7.200 and 2.683
Calculation of expected number of emails, variance and standard deviation:
Given that
P = 0.40 and n = 30
a)
The expected value of received e-mails is
= n × p
= 30 × 0.4
= 12
b)
The variance of emails received is
= n × p × (1 - p)
= 30 × 0.4 × 0.6
= 7.200
Now
The standard deviation of emails received is
= sqrt(variance)
= 2.683
We simply applied the above formula

Rory is at the local mall and her favorite type of jeggings are on sale. The jeggings are now
priced at $7 per pair, tax free. She has $27 with her, but she needs to have $6 leftover to
spend on a movie theater ticket.
Which inequality represents how many pairs of jeggings Rory can buy, where / represents
the number of jeggings?
Answer:
j ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she has $27 with her and needs a balance if $6, the amount of money she can spend on buying the jeggings will be $27-$6 = $21
This means that she has $21 to spend on buying the jeggins
From the question, one jeggings cost $7, so the maximum number of jeggings she can buy is 21/7 = 3
So the inequality that represents this will be;
j ≤ 3
This is because she can decide to buy less than 3, but never can she buy more than 3 because of her budgetary constraints

Step-by-step explanation:
Caleb is a junior at JA Enterprise High School and plays rugby on the school team. He has a part-time job at a local fast-food restaurant and works 20 hours a week for $7.60 an hour. His gross monthly income is $608.00, and his take-home pay is $501.64. In his spare time, Caleb walks a dog belonging to an elderly neighbor. He earns an additional $40.00 per month for that chore.
Caleb's parents gave him a used car, and he pays his own insurance, which is $110 per month. His gas and maintenance expenses usually run $65 a month. He also has a cell phone and pays his parents $30 each month for his share of the family plan.
In three weeks, Caleb plans to take a day trip to Six Flags amusement park. His admission will cost $50, and he plans to have $35 for meals and another $50 for incidentals.
Caleb needs to start saving for Christmas, which is in four months, and he usually spends around $200 on gifts for his family and friends. He also would like to buy a new $80 e-reader this month.
Though Caleb's parents will help pay for his college tuition, he knows that in two years, he will have to pay for his books and earn his own spending money. He is estimating that each semester, he will spend $300 on books and $600 on personal needs.
How much are Caleb's regular monthly expenses?
Answer:
Caleb's net monthly income would be $541.64
Step-by-step explanation:
His monthly take home pay from restaurant is $501.64
Since he earns additional $40 per month for dog walk,
Therefore, his monthly pay would be ;
= $501.64 + $40
Caleb's net monthly income =$541.64
Caleb's monthy regular expenses including car insurance and books is
$355.
What is an equation?An equation is written in the form of variables and constants separated by the operation of multiplication and division,
An equation states that terms in different forms on both sides of the equality sign are equal.
Multiplication and division do not separate the terms of an equation.
From the given information, The total net earnings of Caleb is,
= $(501.64 + 40).
= $541.64.
Now, The expenses for Car insurance, Gas, and cell phone recharge is,
= $(110 + 65 + 30).
= $205.
Again, For books and personal needs, he have to spend $(300 + 600).
= $900.
Monthly it is,
= 900/6.
= $150.
Therefore, Caleb's regular expenses is,
= $(205 + 150).
= $355.
