How many terms of the series of - 3+0+3+6+9+...are needed to give a sum of 105?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series is:

[tex]S=\frac{k}{2}(a+x_k)[/tex]

Where k is the number of terms, a is the initial term, and x_k is the last term of the series.

We essentially want to find k, the number of terms, given that the sum S is equal to 105. So, substitute 105 into our equation:

[tex]105=\frac{k}{2}(a+x_k)[/tex]

To do so, we need to final term x_k. We don't know what it is yet, but that doesn't matter. All we need to do is to write it in terms of k. First, remember that the standard form for the explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence is:

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

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

From our sequence, we can see that the first term is -3.

Also, we can determine that our common difference is +3, since each subsequent term is 3 more than the previous one. -3+3 is 0, 0+3 is 3, 3+3 is 6, and so on.

Therefore, our explicit formula is:

[tex]x_n=-3+3(n-1)[/tex]

Therefore, our final term, x_k, will be if we substitute k for n. So, we can acquire the equation:

[tex]x_k=-3+3(k-1)[/tex]

Now that we know what x_k is, we can substitute that into our original equation:

[tex]105=\frac{k}{2}(a+x_k)[/tex]

Substitute the equation into x_k. Also, let's substitute -3 (our first term) for a. So:

[tex]105=\frac{k}{2}(-3+(-3+3(k-1)))[/tex]

And now, all we have to do is to solve for k.

First, distribute the 3:

[tex]105=\frac{k}{2}(-3+(-3+3k-3))[/tex]

Add within the parentheses:

[tex]105=\frac{k}{2}(3k-9)[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2. This removes the fraction on the right:

[tex]210=k(3k-9)[/tex]

Distribute. We will get a quadratic:

[tex]210=3k^2-9k[/tex]

So, let's solve for k. Let's divide everything by 3:

[tex]70=k^2-3k[/tex]

Subtract 70 from both sides:

[tex]0=k^2-3k-70[/tex]

Factor. We can use -10 and 7. So:

[tex]0=(k-10)(k+7)[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]k-10=0\text{ or } k+7=0[/tex]

Solve for k for each equation:

[tex]k=10\text{ or } k=-7[/tex]

-7 doesn't make sense (we can't have -7 terms). Remove that solution. So, we are left with:

[tex]k=10[/tex]

Therefore, the number of terms we have in our series for our sum to be 105 is 10.

And we're done!

"Supplementary" angles add up to 180°.

Opposite angles are supplementary, so . . .

(12x - 4) + (19x - 2)  =  180°

Clear the parentheses:  12x - 4 + 19x - 2 = 180°

Add up all the x's on the left side:  31x - 4 - 2  =  180°

Add up the plain old numbers on the left side:  31x - 6  =  180°

Add  6  to each side:  31x  =  186°

Divide each side by  31 :  x  =  6°

Well !  Now that you know that  x = 6° . . .

Angle  EPC  is  (12x - 4)°

That's  (12·6  -  4)°

Which is  (72 - 4)°

Which is  68°

A perfect square ends with the same two digits. How many possible values of this digit are there?

Answers

Answer:

A perfect square is a whole number that is the square of another whole number.

n*n = N

where n and N are whole numbers.

Now, "a perfect square ends with the same two digits".

This can be really trivial.

For example, if we take the number 10, and we square it, we will have:

10*10 = 100

The last two digits of 100 are zeros, so it ends with the same two digits.

Now, if now we take:

100*100 = 10,000

10,000 is also a perfect square, and the two last digits are zeros again.

So we can see a pattern here, we can go forever with this:

1,000^2 = 1,000,000

10,000^2 = 100,000,000

etc...

So we can find infinite perfect squares that end with the same two digits.

. When the process of solving a linear inequality results in the variable being eliminated with a false statement remaining, what does this mean about the solution set of the inequality?

Answers

Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve linear inequalities using any one the methods such as

1) Elimination  or

2) Substitution

And we get  the variable eliminated with a false statement remaining, this means there is no solution.

In other words the solution does not exist or the solution is not possible in the given range or the values given are false.

But when the values are true we get a solution for the variable solved.

In the elimination method we eliminate the same terms by addition or subtraction after making them equal.

And the substitution method requires putting the values of one variable in place of another.
