The third term of an arithmetic sequence is 15 and when 20 is added to the third term the
8 term is obtained
a) What is the common difference of the sequence?
S
b) What is the position of 103 in this sequence?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Common difference = 4

Position of 103 = 25th term

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

According to the given information:

[tex] a_3 + 20 = a_8[/tex]

[tex] a+ (3-1)d + 20 = a+ (8-1)d[/tex]

[tex] \cancel a+ 2d + 20 = \cancel a + 7d[/tex]

[tex] 2d + 20 = 7d[/tex]

[tex] 20 = 7d-2d[/tex]

[tex] 20 = 5d[/tex]

[tex] d = \frac{20}{5}[/tex]

[tex] \purple {\bold {d = 4}} [/tex]

Common difference = 4

b)

[tex] \because a_3 = 15....(given) [/tex]

[tex] \therefore a + (3-1)d = 15[/tex]

[tex] \therefore a + 2d = 15[/tex]

[tex] \therefore a + 2\times 4= 15[/tex]

[tex] \therefore a + 8= 15[/tex]

[tex] \therefore a = 15-8[/tex]

[tex] \red{\bold {\therefore a = 7}} [/tex]

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

[tex] \therefore 103 = 7 + (n - 1)4 [/tex]

[tex] \therefore 103 - 7 = (n - 1)4 [/tex]

[tex] \therefore 96 = (n - 1)4 [/tex]

[tex] \therefore \frac{96}{4}= n - 1[/tex]

[tex] \therefore 24= n - 1[/tex]

[tex] \therefore 24+1= n[/tex]

[tex]\blue{\bold {\therefore n = 25}} [/tex]

So, the position of 103 in this sequence is 25th term.

Simplify
4y — 4ys + 2y – 5у — 54 – 34

Answers

Answer:

-4ys + y - 88

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have to simplify equations that have different variables, we always have to look at the like terms, which the like terms are ones that contain the same value and variable. So let's look at our equation :

4y — 4ys + 2y – 5у — 54 – 34

We can see three different terms here :

ys, y, and a constant term.

The rule is that we can only combine two properties that have the same like term, so in the equation :

4y — 4ys + 2y – 5у — 54 – 34

These have the same variable, therefore we can combine like terms.

4y + 2y - 5y

6y - 5y

y

Now implace it into the equation :

y — 4ys — 54 – 34

Onto the next property :

y — 4ys — 54 – 34

This is alone, therefore we can leave it :

y — 4ys — 54 – 34

These two are the same property, so do the following :

-54 - 34

-88

Impace into the equation :

y - 4ys - 88

Now that we have no same common like terms, we can order our equation to greatest value to least :

-4ys + y - 88

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation y=\dfrac{5}{9}xy= 9 5 ​ XY, equals, start fraction, 5, divided by, 9, end fraction, x?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]k=\dfrac{5}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

[tex]y=\dfrac{5}{9}x[/tex] ...(1)

We need to find the constant of proportionality in the equation.

In this equation, y is directly proportional to x i.e.

y ∝ x

or

y = kx  ...(2)

k is constant of proportionality

If we compare equation (1) and (2), we find that,

[tex]k=\dfrac{5}{9}[/tex]

So, the constant of proportionality is equal to [tex]\dfrac{5}{9}[/tex].

if the length of a certain rectangle is decreased by 4cm and the width is increased by 3cm,a square with the same area would result.find the perimeter of original rectangle

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The original area is LW

The new area is (L-4)(W+3)

These areas are the same

1:      (L-4)(W+3)=LW

You are also told that the new figure is a square, hence

2:     (L-4)=(W+3)

Equation (2) implies

3:     L=W+7

Substitute for L in Equation (1) and solve for W

(W+7-4)(W+3)=(W+7)W

W^2+3W+7W+21-4W-12=W^2+7W

6W+9=7W

W=9

Now use Equation (3) to solve for L

L=16

The perimeter is 2W+2L

You must isolate the variable to solve for it, so subtracting 14 from the left is the first thing to do. This can be supported by using PEMDAS, whereas we are doing the inverse here to solve for something in the equation. This gives us 2x=0. Next, we have to divide by 2, which gives us x=0.

The perimeter of a square is given as 8x+20. Write two different expressions for the perimeter. Use factoring to write one of the expressoins. Are the expressions equivalen? Explain

Answers

Answer:

P = 4(2x + 5)

P = (2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Perimeter of square = 4 * s

Where s = side length

If perimeter, P = 8x + 20

Then,

4s = 8x + 20

Divide both sides by 4

4s / 4 = (8x + 20) / 4

s = 2x + 5

P = 4s

P = 4(2x + 5)

Or

P = 2x + 5 in 4 places

P = (2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)

A racing shell, which is a boat a crew team rows, moves 20 km/h in still water. During practice, the team rows 36 km against the current and 22 km with the current. Find the speed of the river current if the team rows a total of 3 hours.

Answers

Answer:

2 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the river current, t₁ be the time spent rowing against the current and t₂ be the time spent rowing with the current.

Since the speed of the still water = 20 km/h.

The speed of rowing against the current = (20 - x)

The speed of rowing with the current = (20 + x)

We know that velocity = distance / time. Hence time = distance / velocity

t₁ = 36 / (20 - x)

t₂ = 22 / (20 + x)

but t₁ + t₂ = 3 hours

Therefore:

3 = 36 / (20 - x) + 22 / (20 + x)

multiply through by 400 - x²

3(400 - x²) = 36(20 + x) + 22(20 - x)

1200 - 3x² = 720 + 36x + 440 - 22x

3x² + 14x -40 = 0

This gives x = -6.7 or x = 2

x cannot be negative therefore x = 2 km/h

The speed of the river current is 2 km/h

Answer:

2km/h is correct

In ΔHIJ, the measure of ∠J=90°, JI = 48, IH = 73, and HJ = 55. What is the value of the tangent of ∠H to the nearest hundredth?In ΔJKL, the measure of ∠L=90°, JL = 60, KJ = 61, and LK = 11. What ratio represents the tangent of ∠J?

Answers

Answer:

11:60

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔHIJ, given the measure of ∠J=90°, JI = 48, IH = 73, and HJ = 55. We are to find tan<H

Using SOH CAH TOA

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

JI is the opposite (facing m<H)

HJ will be adjacent

tan m<H = JI/HJ

tan m<H = 48/55

tan m<H = 0.87 (to the nearest hundredth)

In ΔJKL, the measure of ∠L=90°, JL = 60, KJ = 61, and LK = 11. What ratio represents the tangent of ∠J?

Using SOH CAH TOA

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

LK is the opposite (facing m<J)

JL will be adjacent

tan m<J = LK/JL

tan m<H = 11/60

Hence the ratio that represents the tangent of ∠J is 11:60

A line contains the points (2,4) and (6,16). Write the linear function for the line in the form y=Mx+b

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points :

(2,4) and (6,16).

x1 = 2 ; y1 = 4 ; x2 = 6 ; y2 = 16

Y = mx + b

m = slope

b = intercept

m = Rise / Run

Rise = y2 - y1 = 16 - 4 = 12

Run = x2 - x1 = 6 - 2 = 4

m = 12 / 4 = 3

Y = 3x + b

4 = 3(2) + b

4 = 6 + b

4 - 6 = b

b = - 2

Equation becomes ;
