The sum of the first 15 terms of an arithmetic sequence is 480. Find the 8th term of the
sequence.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The sum of the first 15 terms of an arithmetic sequence is 480.

To find:

The 8th term of the sequence.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]S_{15}=480[/tex]

We know that, the nth term of an AP is

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

Where, a is the first term and d is the common difference.

Putting n=8, we get the 8th term of the sequence.

[tex]a_8=a+(8-1)d[/tex]

[tex]a_8=a+7d[/tex]

The sum of first n terms is

[tex]S_{n}=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

Where, a is the first term and d is the common difference.

[tex]S_{15}=\dfrac{15}{2}[2a+(15-1)d][/tex]

[tex]480=\dfrac{15}{2}[2a+14d][/tex]

[tex]480=\dfrac{15}{2}[2(a+7d)][/tex]

[tex]480=15(a+7d)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 15.

[tex]\dfrac{480}{15}=a+7d[/tex]

[tex]32=a+7d[/tex]

[tex]32=a_8[/tex]

Therefore, the 8th term of the arithmetic sequence is 32.

The triangle shown below are similar. Solve for x. 

Answers

Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

27/45=(2x+7)/(4x+1)

cross multiply

27(4x+1)=45(2x+7)

108x+27=90x+315

108x-90x=315-27

18x=288

x=288/18

x=16

Looking at the image, The triangle shown below are similar. The value for  x is 16.

What is the triangle about?

Note that in the triangle given, the shapes are similar. Therefore:

27/45 = 2x + 7/  4x + 1

3/5 = 2x + 7/  4x + 1

So:

3 (4x + 1) = 5 (2x + 7)

12x + 3 = 10x + 35

12x - 10x = 35-3

2x = 32

x = 32/ 2

x = 16

Therefore, the value of x is 16.

Each circles radius diameter circumference and formula used needs to be found!!!! I need help urgently and I’ll give brainliest!

Answers

Answer:

Check bolded below

Step-by-step explanation:

1)radius = 10 in (given), diameter = 2*radius = 2(10 in) = 20 in

formula for circumference => 2πr => 2π(10)

circumference = 20π in

2)diameter = 12 ft (given), radius = 1/2*diameter = 1/2(12 ft) = 6 ft

formula for circumference => 2πr => 2π(6)

circumference = 12π ft

3)radius = 3 m (given), diameter = 2*radius = 2(3 m) = 6 m

formula for circumference => 2πr => 2π(3)

circumference = 6π m

4)diameter = 18 cm (given), radius = 1/2*diameter = 1/2(18 cm) = 9 cm

formula for circumference => 2πr => 2π(9)

circumference = 18π cm

1.

radius = 10 in

diameter = 10 × 2 = 20 in

formula = π × d

circumference = π × 20 = 62.83 in

2.

radius = 12 ÷ 2 = 6 ft

diameter = 12 ft

formula = π × d

circumference = π × 12 = 37.70 ft

3.

radius = 3 m

diameter = 3 × 2 = 6 m

formula = π × d

circumference = π × 6 = 18.85 m

4.

radius = 18 ÷ 2 = 9 cm

diameter = 18 cm

formula = π × d

circumference = π × 18 = 56.55 cm

What is the missing value of 5x-2y=30 (8,)

Answers

Answer:

In this equation, we can start by understanding that "x" has a value of 8, as given in the ordered pair. When multiplied by 5, this leads to "40 - 2y = 30". Next, we can subtract 40 from both sides of the equation. This leads us to a value of "-2y = -10". The next step would be to divide both sides by -2 as a way of isolating "y", which leads us to a final value of "y = 5". The final ordered pair would be (8,5).

Tia cut 4-meter 8-cenimeter wire into 10 equal pieces. Martha cut a 540-centimeter wire into 9 equal pieces. How much longer is one of Marta's wires than one of Tia's?

Answers

Answer: 19.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A meter is equal to 100 centimetres so the total length of Tia's wire in centimetres is:

= 4.08 * 100

= 408 cm

She cuts this into 10 equal pieces:

= 408 / 10

= 40.8 cm

Martha cuts her 540 cm wire into 9 pieces. Each piece is:

= 540 / 9

= 60 cm each

The difference is:

= 60 - 40.8

= 19.2 cm

If it takes Charlie 45 minutes walking at 2.5 km/hr to get to the chocolate factory and it takes Willy Wonka 15 minutes walking at 3.5 km/hr then who lives closer and by how far?

Answers

Answer:

Willy Wonka

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

it takes Charlie 45 minutes walking at 2.5 km/hr

speed = distance /time

distance= speed*time

distance= 2.5*45

distance= 112.5 km

it takes Willy Wonka 15 minutes walking at 3.5 km/hr

distance= speed*time

distance= 3.5*15

distance= 52.5 km

Hence Willy Wonka stays closer

The label on a 1.25 pound bag of wildflower seeds states that it will cover an area of 280 square feet. Based on this information, what is the number of square feet that 1 pound of wildflower seeds will cover?

Answers

Answer:

1 pound of sunflower seeds will cover about 187 square feet of land

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will have to assume that there is a linear relationship between the net weight of the wildflower seeds and the area of land it can cover when planted.

Based on this assumption, we can find the number of square feet that a 1 pound bag will cover, by setting up a simple relationship as shown below:

if 1.5 pounds covers 280 square feet

1 pound will cover x square feet.

by cross multiplying, we have that

x = (280 X 1) / 1.5 = 186.66 square feet.

Therefore, 1 pound of sunflower seeds will cover about 187 square feet of land

[tex]\frac{x}{7}[/tex] − [tex]\frac{x}{9}[/tex] =−1

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = \frac{ - 63}{2} \: or \: - 31.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{x}{7} - \frac{x}{9} = - 1[/tex]

Lets take the L.C.M of 7 & 9.

L.C.M of 7 & 9 = 63

[tex] = > \frac{9x - 7x}{63} = - 1[/tex]

[tex] = > \frac{2x}{ 63} = - 1[/tex]

Now lets multiply 63 on both the sides.

[tex] = > \frac{2x}{ 63} \times 63 = (- 1) \times 63[/tex]

[tex] = > 2x = - 63[/tex]

Now lets divide both the sides by 2.

[tex] = > \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{ - 63}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = > x = \frac{ - 63}{2} = - 31.5[/tex]
