Find the sum of the first 39 terms of the following series, to the nearest integer.2,7, 12,...
The sequence 2,7,12,... given is an arithmetic progression. This is because it has a common difference.
Given:
first term, a = 2
common difference, d = second term - first term = 7 - 2 = 5
d = 5
n = 38
The sum of an arithmetic progression is given by;
[tex]\begin{gathered} S_n=\frac{n}{2}\lbrack2a+(n-1)d\rbrack \\ S_{38}=\frac{38}{2}\lbrack2(2)+(38-1)5\rbrack \\ S_{38}=19\lbrack4+37(5)\rbrack \\ S_{38}=19\lbrack4+185\rbrack \\ S_{38}=19(189) \\ S_{38}=3591 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the sum of the first 39 terms of the series is 3,591
A businesswoman buys a new computer for $4000. For each year that she uses it the value depreciates by $400. The equation y=-400x+4000 gives the value y of the computer after x years. What does the x-intercept mean in this situation ? Find the x-intercept. After how many years will the value of the computer be $2000 ?
We have the following:
The intersection with the x-axis is when the value of y is 0, that is, the computer already has a value of 0 and has no commercial value.
we found it like this
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0=-400x+4000 \\ 400x=4000 \\ x=\frac{4000}{400} \\ x=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]which means that in 10 years, the computer does not represent a commercial value
to calculate the number of years that have passed when the computer has a value of 2000, y = 2000, therefore we replace
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2000=-400x+4000 \\ 400x=4000-2000 \\ x=\frac{2000}{400} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]This means that in a total of 5 years the value of the computer will be $ 2000

Hello, I need assistance with this question within the image posted below.
A(-4, 0) and B(4, 0)
Explanation:A parabola is symmetrical about the y-axis, if the vertex is of the form (0, y). The y-axis is the line of symmetry. That is, the point x = 0.
If the parabola is symmetric about the y-axis, points A and B should fall on opposite sides of the y-axis.
For the parabola to be symmetric about the y-axis, the possible points to move A and B to are A(-4, 0) and B(4, 0)

The system of equation is given as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7x-4y=28 \\ 5x-2y=17 \end{gathered}[/tex]The objective is identify the augmented matrix for the system of equations and the solution using row operations.
Explanation:
The required augmented matrix will be,
Performing the Gauss-Jordan elimination with the following operation,
[tex]R_2=R_2-\frac{5R_1}{7}[/tex]By applying the operation to the augmented matrix,
To find y :
On equating the second row of the matrix,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{6y}{7}=-3 \\ y=\frac{-3}{\frac{6}{7}} \\ y=\frac{-3\times7}{6} \\ y=\frac{-7}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]To find x :
On equating the first row of the matrix,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7x-4y=28 \\ 7x=28+4y \\ x=\frac{28+4y}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute the value of y in the above equation.
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{28+4(\frac{-7}{2})}{7} \\ x=\frac{28-14}{7} \\ x=\frac{14}{7} \\ x=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus the value of solutions are,

Find the equation of the line with slope = 5 and passing through (-7,-29). Write your equation in the form
y = mz+b.
Answer:
[tex]y =5x+6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation, [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], the "m" represents the slope, and the b represents the y-intercept.
We know the slope is 5, so we already know part of the equation: [tex]y=5x+b[/tex]
To solve for the "b" part or y-intercept, we can simply plug in a known point on the line, which was given to be (-7, -29)
This gives us the following equation:
[tex]-29 = 5(-7) + b\\\text{simplify}\\-29 = -35 + b\\\text{add 35 to both sides}\\6=b[/tex]
Answer: y = 5x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Do point-slope formula {(y - y1) = m(x - x1})
(y - 29) = 5(x - 7)
Distribute
(y - 29) = 5x - 35
Subtract 29 on both sides
Cancel out y - 29 - 29
y = 5x + 6

Derek has $20 to spend on used books, but he can not spend all $20.Hardcover books cost $5 each and paperbacks cost $2 each. Create aninequality which determines the number (x) of hardcover books and the number(y) of paperback books he can buy.
Given:
The amount to spend on books, T=$20.
The cost of a handcoverbook, m=$5.
The cost of a paperback, n=$2.
Let x be the number of handcover books and y be the number of paperback books.
It is said that the complete amount of $20 cannot be spend.
So, the inequality to determine x and y can be written as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} T>mx+ny \\ 20>5x+2y \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the inequality is 20>5x+2y.

A basic cellular package costs $20/month for 60 minutes of calling with an additional charge of $0.20/minute beyond that time. The cost function C(x) for using x minutes would beIf you used 60 minutes or less, i.e. if if x≤60, then C(x)=20 (the base charge). If you used more than 60 minutes, i.e. (x−60) minutes more than the plan came with, you would pay an additional $0.20 for each of those (x−60) minutes. Your total bill would be C(x)=20+0.20(x−60). If you want to keep your bill at $50 or lower for the month, what is the maximum number of calling minutes you can use?
The maximum number of calling minutes you can use for $50 is 210 minutes.
To solve this, we have the function cost C(x) that depends on the amount of acalling munutes (x)
We want this cost to be $50 or lower. This means:
[tex]\begin{gathered} CostFunction\colon C(x)=20+0.2(x-60) \\ Maximum\text{ value of 50:}C(x)\le50 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then we can create an inequality:
[tex]50\ge20+0.2(x-60)[/tex]And now we can solve for x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 50\ge20+0.2(x-60) \\ \frac{50-20}{0.2}\ge x-60 \\ 150+60\ge x \\ x\le210\text{ minutes} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, with $50 we can talk up to 210 minutes.
To be sure of the result, let's plug x = 210 in the function and it should give us a cost of C(210) = 50:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=210\Rightarrow C(210)=20+0.2(210-60) \\ C(210)=20+0.2\cdot150 \\ C(210)=20+30=50 \end{gathered}[/tex]This confirms the result.

The water park is a popular field trip destination. This year the senior class at High School A and the senior class at High School B both planned trips there. The senior class at High School A rented and filled 1 van and 14 buses with 309 students. High School B rented and filled 4 vans and 14 buses with 354 students. Each van and each bus carried the same number of students.
Answer
Let students in Van be x
And students in bus be y
A/Q
x + 14y = 309 (1)
4x + 14y = 354 (2)
Subtracting (1) and (2)
3x = 45
x = 15
Put in eq (1)
15 + 14 y = 309
14y = 309 - 15
14 y = 294
y = 21

Explanation:
We want to find out which arithmetic sequence(s) contain the term 34.
For an arithmetic sequence to contain the term, 34, the corresponding n-value must be an integer.
Option A
Set tn = 34
[tex]\begin{gathered} t_n=6+(n-1)4 \\ 34=6+(n-1)4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Solve for n:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 34-6=4n-4 \\ 28=4(n-1) \\ n-1=\frac{28}{4}=7 \\ n-1=7 \\ n=7+1 \\ n=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]The 8th term of this sequence is 34.
Option B
[tex]\begin{gathered} t_n=3n-1 \\ 34=3n-1 \\ 34+1=3n \\ 35=3n \\ n=\frac{35}{3}=11\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]A sequence cannot have a decimal nth term, therefore, the sequence does not contain 34.
Option C
T1 = 12, d=5.5
[tex]\begin{gathered} 12+5.5(n-1)=34 \\ 5.5(n-1)=34-12 \\ 5.5(n-1)=22 \\ n-1=\frac{22}{5.5} \\ n=4+1 \\ n=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]The 5th term of this sequence is 34, therefore, it contains the term 34.
Option D
3,7,11,...
[tex]\begin{gathered} t_1=3 \\ d=7-3=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Using the nth term of an arithmetic sequence formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} t_n=t_1+(n-1)d \\ 34=3+4(n-1) \\ 34-3=4(n-1) \\ 31=4(n-1) \\ n-1=\frac{31}{4} \\ n-1=7\frac{3}{4} \\ n=8\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]A sequence cannot have a decimal nth term, therefore, the sequence does not contain 34.
The sequences in Options A and C contain the term 34.

two ships leave a port at the same time. the first ship sails on a bearing of 55° at 12 knots (natural miles per hour) and the second on a bearing of 145° at 22 knots. how far apart are they after 1.5 hours (round to the nearest nautical mile)
Given that one of the ships travels at 12 nautical miles per hour, then after 1.5 hours, it will travel 12*1.5 = 18 miles
The other ship will travel 22*1.5 = 33 miles
The angle of 145° is measured with respect to the positive x-axis. Then, respect the negative x-axis, its measure is 180° - 145° = 35°
We have to use trigonometric functions to find x1, y1, x2, and y2, as follows:
sin(55°) = y1/18
sin(55°) *18 = y1
14.7 = y1
cos(55°) = x1/18
cos(55°)*18 = x1
10.3 = x1
sin(35°) = y2/33
sin(35°)*33 = y2
18.9 = y2
cos(35°) = x2/33
cos(35°)*33 = x
-27 = x2 (the minus sign comes from the graph)
The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is computed as follows:
[tex]d=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]Substituting with the values found,
[tex]\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{(-27-10.3)^2+(18.9-14.7)^2} \\ d=\sqrt[]{(-37.3)^2+4.2^2} \\ d=\sqrt[]{1391.29+17.64} \\ d\approx38\text{ miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]Metric area unit conversion with decimal valuesTammy has a rectangular poster.

Assume that Jim Bruce and Valerie are 3 of the 17 members of the class, and that of the class members will be chosen randomly to deliver their reports during the next class meeting. What is the probability that Jim Bruce and Valerie are selected in that order?
The probability that Jim, Bruce and Valerie are selected in that order is P = 1/680
Given,
Number of students in a class = 17
Jim, Bruce and Valerie are 3 of the 17.
Three of students from the class are randomly chosen to deliver their reports during the next class meet.
We have to find the probability that Jim, Bruce and Valerie are selected in that order;
Here,
The total number of possible selection;
S = ⁿCr
Where, n = 17 and r = 3
Then,
S = ¹⁷C₃
S = 17! / 14! x 3!
S = 680
Therefore,
The probability that Jim, Bruce and Valerie are selected in that order is P = 1/680
