Kane is training for a marathon. He starts by running 3 miles during every training session each week plans to increase the distance of his runs by 1/4 mile. Let w be the number of weeks. Write and expression to show the diatance kane runs in a training session after w weeks

Answer:

[tex]T_w = \frac{11 + w}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Starts = 3 miles[/tex]

[tex]Difference = \frac{1}{4}\ mile[/tex]

Required

Determine the distance for w weeks

This will be calculated using the following Arithmetic progression formula

[tex]T_n = a +(n -1) d[/tex]

Where

[tex]a =3[/tex]

[tex]n = w[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Substitute these values

[tex]T_w = 3 + (w - 1)* \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]T_w = 3 + \frac{1}{4}w - \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]T_w = 3 - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}w[/tex]

[tex]T_w = \frac{11}{4} + \frac{1}{4}w[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]T_w = \frac{11 + w}{4}[/tex]

The expression that shows the distance Kane runs in a training session after w weeks is [tex]\rm T_w = \dfrac{11+w}{4}[/tex] and this can be determined by using the arithmetic progression.

Given :

  • Kane starts by running 3 miles during every training session each week plans to increase the distance of his runs by 1/4 mile.
  • w be the number of weeks.

Expression to show the distance Kane runs in a training session after w weeks can be determined by using the arithmetic progression.

The formula for the nth term in arithmetic operation is given by:

[tex]\rm T_n = a + (n-1)d[/tex]

where a is the first term that is 3, d is the difference between two consecutive terms that is [tex]1\div 4[/tex], [tex]\rm T_n[/tex] is the last term and n is the total number of terms that is w.

[tex]\rm T_w = 3+(w-1)\times \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\rm T_w = \dfrac{11}{4}+\dfrac{w}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\rm T_w = \dfrac{11+w}{4}[/tex]

The expression that shows the distance Kane runs in a training session after w weeks is [tex]\rm T_w = \dfrac{11+w}{4}[/tex].
