An arithmetic sequence is given by 20, 17, 14, 11, ...
(a) Write down the value of the common difference, d.

(b) Find a100

(c) Find s100

Answers

Answer 1

 Answer:

The common difference equals:

[tex]-3[/tex]

The sum of the sequence equals:

[tex]62[/tex]

The explicit formula of this sequence is:

[tex]a_n=20+(n-1)*(-3)[/tex]

The recursive formula of this sequence is:

[tex]a_n=a_((n-1))-3[/tex]

The nth terms:

[tex]20,17,14,11,8,5,2...[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence, or arithmetic progression, is a set of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms (terms that come after one another) is constant. This difference is called the common difference.

1. Find the common difference.

Find the common difference by subtracting any term in the sequence from the term that comes after it.

[tex]a_2-a_1=17-20=-3\\a_3-a_2=14-17=-3\\a_4-a_3=11-14=-3[/tex]

The difference of the sequence is constant and equals the difference between two consecutive terms.

[tex]d=-3[/tex]

2. Find the sum.

Calculate the sum of the sequence using the sum formula:

Formula

[tex]Sum=\frac{(n(a_1+a_n))}{2}[/tex]

Plug in terms

[tex]Sum=(4*(a_1+a_n))/2[/tex]

[tex]Sum=(4*(20+a_n))/2[/tex]

[tex]Sum=(4*(20+11))/2[/tex]

Simplify the expression

[tex]Sum=(4*(20+11))/2[/tex]

[tex]Sum=(4*31)/2[/tex]

[tex]Sum=124/2[/tex]

[tex]Sum=62[/tex]

The sum of this sequence is [tex]62[/tex].

This series corresponds to the following straight line [tex]y=-3x+20[/tex]

3. Find the explicit form.

The formula for expressing arithmetic sequences in their explicit form is:

Formula: [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)*d[/tex]

Plug in the terms.

[tex]a_1=20[/tex] (this is the 1st term)

[tex]d=-3[/tex] (this is the common difference)

[tex]a_n[/tex]  (this is the nth term)

[tex]n[/tex] (this is the term position)

The explicit form of this arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_n=20+(n-1)*(-3)[/tex]

4. Find the recursive form.

The formula for expressing arithmetic sequences in their recursive form is:

Formula: [tex]a_n=a_((1-n))+d[/tex]

Plug in the d term.

[tex]d=-3[/tex](this is the common difference)

The recursive form of this arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_n=a_((n-1))-3[/tex]

5. Find the nth element.

[tex]a_1=a_1+(n-1)*d=20+(1-1)*-3=20[/tex]

[tex]a_2=a_1+(n-1)*d=20+(2-1)*-3=17[/tex]

[tex]a_3=a_1+(n-1)*d=20+(3-1)*-3=14[/tex]

[tex]a_4=a_1+(n-1)*d=20+(4-1)*-3=11[/tex]

[tex]a_5=a_1+(n-1)*d=20+(5-1)*-3=8[/tex]

[tex]a_6=a_1+(n-1)*d=20+(6-1)*-3=5[/tex]

[tex]a_7=a_1+(n-1)*d=20+(7-1)*-3=2[/tex]

Solve the folllowing question-->2e+3=5

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf{e=1}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the term of e from one side of the equation.

2e+3=5

First, you subtract by 3 from both sides.

⇒ 2e+3-3=5-3

Solve.

Subtract the numbers from left to right.

⇒ 5-3=2

Rewrite the problem down.

⇒ 2e=2

Divide by 2 from both sides.

⇒ 2e/2=2/2

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

⇒ 2/2=1

⇒ e=1

Therefore, the correct answer is e=1.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Answer:

e = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3 both sides:

⇒ 2e + 3 = 5

⇒ 2e + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3

⇒ 2e = 2

Divide both sides by 2:

⇒ 2e = 2

⇒ 2e/2 = 2/2

e = 1

Help, what is the area of this figure? (Don’t write a big explanation!!, i really need this quick, a picture or just numbers u used is fine)

Answers

Answer:

146 m²

Area of triangle:

1/2 * base * height1/2 * 16 * 756 m²

Area of upper rectangle:

Length * Width8 * 972 m²

Area of bottom rectangle:

Length * Width6 * 318 m²

Total area:

18 m² + 72 m² + 56 m²146 m²

Answer:

146 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the figure into a triangle and 2 rectangles (see attached diagram)

Formulae

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x heightArea of a rectangle = width x length

Triangle 1

⇒ area = 1/2 x 16 x (6 + 9 - 4 - 4)

            = 1/2 x 16 x 7

            = 56 m²

Rectangle 2

⇒ area = 3 x (6 + 9)

            = 3 x 15

            = 45 m²

Rectangle 3

⇒ area = 5 x 9

            = 45 m²

Total area

⇒ Total area = triangle 1 + rectangle 2 + rectangle 3

                      = 56 + 45 + 45

                      = 146 m²

A beach volleyball court is 9 meters wide and 18 meters long. The rope used for the boundary line costs $1.67 per meter. How much would it cost to buy a new boundary line for the court?

Answers

Answer:

$90.18

Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are two long sides and two wide sides, you would double them. Add them together, and multiply by price

9 + 9 = 18
18 + 18 36
18 + 36 = 54
54 x 1.67 = 90.18

ALL of the Students at Beach Middle School voted for a trip to the zoo or the aquarium.
- 25% of the students voted for the aquarium
- 120 students voted for the zoo
What is the total number of students at Beach Middle School?

Answers

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were only 2 options, all the people who didn't pick one chose the other one.

So if 25% of the people voted for the aquarium the remaing 75% voted for the zoo.

Since three times as many people voted for the zoo, we can see that 120/3=40, so 40 people chose the aquarium.

To find the total number of students, we add 120 and 40 to get 160

the cost of the paint set= z

total money used= $39.75-$4.00

x= 14+y

but y=2/3z

x= 14+2/3z

A boat is traveling at 28 knots in a direction of 36 degrees. It encounters wind moving at 10 knots in a direction of 22 degrees. What is the true velocity and direction of the boat? round to the nearest whole #

a) 38knots;58 degrees
b) 32knots;30 degrees
c) 1,427knots;58 degrees
d) 38knots;32 degrees

Answers

The magnitude of the total velocity of the boat is 38 knots, and the direction is 32°, so the correct option is d.

How to get the velocity of the boat?

First, we need to write need to find the component of the two given velocities.

For the boat, the magnitude is 28 knots and the angle is 36°, then the components are:

x-component = (28 knots)*cos(36°) = 22.65 knotsy-component = (28 knots)*sin(36°) = 16.46 knots

For the wind, the components are:

x-component = (10 knots)*cos(22°) = 9.27 knotsy-component = (10 knots)*sin(22°) = 3.75 knots

Adding these, the total components of the boat's velocity are:

x-comp =  22.65 knots+ 9.27 knots = 31.92 knotsy-comp = 16.46 knots +  3.75 knots = 20.21 knots

Then the magnitude of the velocity is:

|V| = √( (31.92 knots)^2 + (20.21 knots)^2)  =37.78 knots

That can be rounded to 38 knots

To get the angle, we take the arctangent of the quotient between the y-component and the x-component:

a = Atan(20.21 knots/31.92 knots) = 32.34°

Then the correct option is d) 38 knots and 32°
