An arithmetic progression consists of 37 terms. The sum of the first 3 terms of
it is 12 and the sum of its last-3 terms is 318, then find the first and last terms
of the progression.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

First term = 1Last term (37th term) = 109

=======================================================

Explanation:

a1 = first term

a2 = second term

a3 = third term

and so on, until we reach a37 to represent the 37th term

We don't know the first term, but we'll call it x for now. We'll also let d be the difference between each adjacent term, aka the common difference.

Meaning that,

a1 = xa2 = a1+d = x+da3 = a2+d = (x+d)+d = x+2da4 = a3+d = (x+2d)+d = x+3d

and so on, until,

a35 = x+34da36 = x+35da37 = x+36d

---------------------

Add up the first three terms (a1 through a3) and set the sum equal to 12

Then do a bit of algebra to get

a1+a2+a3 = 12

(x)+(x+d)+(x+2d) = 12

3x+3d = 12

3(x+d) = 12

x+d = 12/3

x+d = 4

x = 4-d

Do the same for the last three terms, but the sum here is 318

a35+a36+a37 = 318

(x+34d)+(x+35d)+(x+36d) = 318

3x+105d = 318

3(x) + 105d = 318

3(4-d)+105d = 318 .... replace x with 4-d; isolate d

12-3d+105d = 318

102d+12 = 318

102d = 318-12

102d = 306

d = 306/102

d = 3

The common difference is 3. It means each term is increasing by 3.

Use this value of d to find x

x = 4-d

x = 4-3

x = 1

The first term is 1. That makes the second term x+d = 1+3 = 4, then the third term is x+2d = 1+2*3 = 7, and so on.

The sum of the first three terms is 1+4+7 = 12. That helps partly confirm the answer.

Also we have,

a35 = x+34d = 1+34(3) = 103a36 = x+35d = 1+35(3) = 106a37 = x+36d = 1+36(3) = 109 is the last term (37th term)

Or you could note that the 35th term is 103, and then you increase by 3 each time to get the remaining two terms.

The last part of the confirmation is adding up those three last terms: 103+106+109 = 318, so the answer is fully verified at this point.

Side note: An arithmetic sequence never ends. There technically is no "last term"; however, since we're confined to focusing on these specific 37 terms, we can get away with using the phrasing.

What is the length of the hypotenuse

Answers

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean's Theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so 81 + 144 = 225, and 225 square rooted is 15.

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to find the hypotenuse you must use the pythagreons theorm:

A^2+B^2=C^2

Now, we knowt hat A and B is the side lengths.(9 and 12)

The hyoptenuse is C.

So, lets plug in our values for A and B, and find C:

A^2+B^2=C^2

=

9^2+12^2=C^2

Now lets square each number except for C, since its a unknown value:

81+144=C^2

Now combine the 144 and 81:

225=C^2

Finally, square root both sides so C^2 becomes C:

15=C

So the answer for the hyotenuse is 15!

Hope this helps!

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive differences in Table A are constant (9−6=12−9=15−12=3), indicating a linear function. Consecutive quotients in Table B are constant (147=2814=5628=2) indicating an exponential function. Similarly the constant quotient for Table D is 1/2. Neither consecutive differences nor quotients are constant in Table C, and its ordered pairs are related by the equation y=x2+5. So, Table A should be labeled "linear", Table B and D, "exponential", and Table C, "quadratic".

2. What is a line of symmetry?
(1 Point)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you're refering to an "axis of symmetry."  This is most often seen in quadratic equations.  If the parabolic graph opens up or down, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line passing through the vertex, and the graph is symmetrical about this axis.  The same applies to a parabolic graph that opens left or right.

If y = ax^2 + bx + c, the equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -b / (2a).

2x+27+x+27=180

3x+54=180

3x=180-54

x=126/3

x=42

angle B=x+27

=42+27

=69 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

B=69

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles have a sum of 180. Set up your formula as

180=(2x+27)+(x+27)

180=2x+27+x+27

180-27-27=3x

126=3x

126/3=x

42=x

Now substitute 42 in place of x for Angle B

Angle B = x+27

B = 42+27

B=69

Check your work by doing the same for Angle A

Angle A = (2x+27)

A=2*42+27

A=84+27

A=111

Now add both together and if you did it right, your answer is 180

69+111 = 180

What is the equation of a circle with a radius of 6 and a center at ( -2 , 3 )?

Answers

The formula for a circle is:

(x-p)^2+(y-q)^2=r^2

The radius is given (r=6), as well as the centre of the circle (-2;3).

"p" and "q" represent the coordinates of the centre of the circle.

So it would look like this -

(x-p)^2+(y-q)^2=r^2

p=x-coordinate (-2)
q=y-coordinate (3)
r=6

(x-(-2))^2+(y-(3))^2 =6^2
(x+2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 36

***"^" means "to the power of"

Hope this helped~

Answer:

Solution given:

centre(h,k)=(-2,3)

radius(r)=6 units

we have

equation of a circle is:

(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

(x+2)²+(y-3)²=6²

(x+2)²+(y-3)²=36 is required equation of a circle.
