Last question in a list of numbers the pattern increases by 0.001 as if the third number in the list is 0.046 what is the first number in the list EXPLAIN!!how you know
x = first number
You add 0.001 to each number to find the next number:
third number = x + 0.001 + 0.001 = 0.046
x + 0.002 = 0.046
Subtact 0,002 to both sides
x = 0.044
To find the first number in the list, we need to understand the pattern that the numbers are following.
We are given that the pattern increases by 0.001. This means that each subsequent number in the list is 0.001 greater than the previous number.
Given that the third number in the list is 0.046, we can work backwards to find the first number.
First, we need to determine how many times the pattern has increased from the first number to the third number.
To do this, we subtract the first number from the third number and divide the result by the increase in the pattern:
(0.046 - x) / 0.001
Simplifying this equation, we have:
46 - 1000x = 46
Subtracting 46 from both sides, we get:
-1000x = 0
Dividing both sides by -1000, we find:
x = 0
Therefore, the first number in the list is 0.
well... start by writing down your info that is provided.
Goes up by 0.001
-.---, -.---, 0.046
so i think it should be 0.044...
