Given that the 3rd term in an arithmetic sequence is -2 and the 7th term is -10, tell me what the 1st term in the sequence is. Explain how you know.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

a₃ = -2

a₇ = -10

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a = a₁ + d (n − 1)

Therefore:

-2 = a₁ + d (3 − 1) = a₁ + 2d

-10 = a₁ + d (7 − 1) = a₁ + 6d

Subtract the equations:

8 = -4d

d = -2

Plug into either equation to find the first term.

-2 = a₁ + 2(-2)

a₁ = 2

The perimeter of a rhombus is 40 cm and the length of one of its diagonals is 12 cm then the length of the other diagonal is

Answers

Answer:

16 cms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of each side = 40 / 4 = 10 cm (as the 4 sides of a rhombus are congruent).

If we draw the other diagonal we form 4 right angled triangles (another property of the rhombus - diagonals bisect each other at tight angles. ).

The side of the rhombus is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

So if we consider one triangle:

10^2 = 6^2 + x^2   where x is half the length of the other diagonal.

x^2 = 10^2 - 6^2

x^2 = 100 - 36 = 64

x = 8 cm.

So the diagonal is 16 cms long.

[tex]\frac{\left(t-h\right)}{k}\\[/tex] = g

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the h

t = h+kg

-h  -h

you get:

t-h=kg

now divide the k from both sides

[tex]\frac{\left(t-h\right)}{k}\\[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\left(kg\right)}{k}[/tex]

so,

[tex]\frac{\left(t-h\right)}{k}\\[/tex]=g

Determine whether the given segments have the same length. Drag and drop each number
into the correct box to complete the justification of your answer. BC and EF

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of a segment between two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by the formula,

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Coordinates of extreme ends of BC and EF are,

B(1, 4), C(3, -2), E(-3, -2) and F(-1, 1)

Length of BC = [tex]\sqrt{(1-3)^2+(4+2)^2}[/tex]

                      = [tex]\sqrt{4+36}[/tex]

                      = [tex]2\sqrt{10}[/tex] ≈ 6.32 units

Length of EF = [tex]\sqrt{(-3+1)^2+(-2-1)^2}[/tex]

                     = [tex]\sqrt{4+9}[/tex]

                     = [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex] ≈ 3.61 units

The length of BC is 6.32. The length of EF is 3.61.So, BC and EF don't have the same length.

a can of paint covers 400 square feet how many cans will needed to cover 3,000 square feet

Answers

Answer:

7 and a half cans of Paint ( 7.5 cans of paint )

Step-by-step explanation:

If one can of paint covers 400 square feet then this should be easy. Since you need 3,000 square feet covered with paint (and one paint can cover 400 sq) then just divide 3,000 by 400.

This will show you how many times 400 can go into 3,000 which is the same as saying "how many cans of paint can i used to cover 3,000 square feet?"

Answers

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, you want to use algebraic properties.

20+8(x-11)=-12                  [distribute]

20+8x-88=-12                   [combine like terms]

8x-68=-12                          [add both sides by 68]

8x=56                                [divide both sides by 8]

x=7

Now we know that x=7.

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Using binomial probability:

p = probability of a rural student getting admission = 1/2

q = probability of a rural student not getting admission = 1/2

n = number of students = 100

P(x) = [tex]C(n,x) p^xq^{(n-x)[/tex]

Answers

If the line is parallel, you know it’s going to have the same slope, which in this case is 3

Using the format y= mx + b, plug in your x and y values to find b (m is the slope)
-11 = 3(-4) + b
-11= -12 + b
b = 1

You now have all the needed values to write the equation in slope-intercept form:

y = 3x + 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

We know that

[tex]|x|=\begin{cases}x & \text{if } x\geq 0 \\ -x & \text{if } x<0 \end{cases}[/tex]

So we need to take into account two cases

Case 1 - [tex]x-3\geq 0<=> x\geq 3[/tex]

Then, |x-3|=x-3

||x-3|-2|=|x-3-2|=|x-5|

Either x-5 is positive and then |x-5|=x-5 and

[tex]|x-5|\leq 1<=>x-5\leq 1<=>x\leq 6[/tex]

Or x-5 is negative and then, |x-5|=-x+5

[tex]|x-5|\leq 1<=>-x+5\leq 1<=>4\leq x[/tex]

So the solution is [4;6]

Case 2 - [tex]x-3< 0<=> x< 3[/tex]

Then, |x-3|=-x+3

||x-3|-2|=|-x+3-2|=|-x+1|

Either -x+1 is positive and then |-x+1|=-x+1 and

[tex]|-x+1|\leq 1<=>-x+1\leq 1<=>0\leq x[/tex]

Or -x+1 is negative and then, |-x+1|=x-1

[tex]|-x+1|\leq 1<=>x-1\leq 1<=>x\leq 2[/tex]

So the solution is [0;2]

Conclusion

The solution is [0;2]∪[4;6]

Thanks
