find the sum of the first 20 terms of the arithmetic sequence 4, -4, -12, -20​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of the first 20 terms is -1440.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the sum of the first 20 terms of the arithmetic sequence:

4, -4, -12, -20...

The sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle 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.

Since we want to find the sum of the first 20 terms, k = 20.

Our initial term a is 4.

Our last term is also the 20th term as we want the sum of the first 20 terms.

To find the 20th term, we can write an explicit formula for our sequence. The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

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

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

Our initial term is 4. From the sequence, we can see that our common difference is -8 since each subsequent term is eight less than the previous term. Therefore:

[tex]x_n=4-8(n-1)[/tex]

Then the last or 20th term is:

[tex]x_{20}=4-8(20-1)=4-8(19)=-148[/tex]

Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms are:

[tex]\displaystyle\begin{aligned} S_{20}&=\frac{(20)}{2}\left((4)+(-148))\\&=10(-144) \\&= -1440\end{aligned}[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

- 1440

Step-by-step explanation:

First-term is 4 and we subtract 8 to get the next term so the general term is

a(n) = 4 - 8(n -1)

The sum of the sequence is the average of the first and last terms multiplied by the number of terms: (a1 + an)/2 * n

We need the 20th term: a20 = 4 - 8(20–1) = 12 - 160 = - 148

The sum is (4 - 148)/2 * 20 = 10*(-144) = - 1440

What is the fifth term in the sequence?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = 8000

f(2) = 1/2(n - 1)

f(2) = 1/2(2 - 1)

f(2) = 1/2    Note: this really does not make sense. I think what you mean is 1/2*f(n-1). If this is true, leave a note within the next hour.

Answer:

f(5) = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive rule and f(1) = 8000 , then

f(2) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] f(1) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 8000 = 4000

f(3) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] f(2) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 4000 = 2000

f(4) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] f(3) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 2000 = 1000

f(5) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] f(4) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 1000 = 500

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

the common difference in the last sequence is 5 which can be gotten by subtracting the first term minus the second term.. therefore to find the next term you subtract 5 from the previous term,and 16-5 is 11.

I hope this helps

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The first series has a patten which is an=a(n-1)-5. The second series follow the pattern which is an=a(n-1)+4. The third series follow the pattern an=a(n-1)+5. So 16-5=11.

Which of the following could be the value of xy if y = 7and x>7?

Answers

Answer:

Any number greater than 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 7>0 then multiplying both sides of x>7 by 7 will not effect the direction of the inequality.

If x>7, then 7x>7(7) or 7x>49 after simplifying.

Substituting y for 7 since y=7 gives yx>49.

By commutative property of multiplication we have xy>49.

So any number greater than 49.

Treat the matrices on the right side of each equation like you would a constant.

Let 2X + Y = A and 3X - 4Y = B.

Then you can eliminate Y by taking the sum

4A + B = 4 (2X + Y) + (3X - 4Y) = 11X

==>   X = (4A + B)/11

Similarly, you can eliminate X by using

-3A + 2B = -3 (2X + Y) + 2 (3X - 4Y) = -11Y

==>   Y = (3A - 2B)/11

It follows that

[tex]X=\dfrac4{11}\begin{bmatrix}12&-3\\10&22\end{bmatrix}+\dfrac1{11}\begin{bmatrix}7&-10\\-7&11\end{bmatrix} \\\\ X=\dfrac1{11}\left(4\begin{bmatrix}12&-3\\10&22\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}7&-10\\-7&11\end{bmatrix}\right) \\\\ X=\dfrac1{11}\left(\begin{bmatrix}48&-12\\40&88\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}7&-10\\-7&11\end{bmatrix}\right) \\\\ X=\dfrac1{11}\begin{bmatrix}55&-22\\33&99\end{bmatrix} \\\\ X=\begin{bmatrix}5&-2\\3&9\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Similarly, you would find

[tex]Y=\begin{bmatrix}2&1\\4&4\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

You can solve the second system in the same fashion. You would end up with

[tex]P=\begin{bmatrix}2&-3\\0&1\end{bmatrix} \text{ and } Q=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\3&-1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth. 5 10 ​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.7}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the length of the third side in a triangle, given the other 2 sides.

Since this is a right triangle (note the small square in the corner of the triangle representing a 90 degree /right angle), we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

[tex]a^2 + b^2 =c^2[/tex]

In this theorem, a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

We know that the unknown side (we can say it is a) and the side measuring 5 are the legs because they form the right angle. The side measuring 10 is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.

b= 5 c= 10

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]a^2 + (5)^2 = (10)^2[/tex]

Solve the exponents.

(5)²= 5*5 = 25 (10)²= 10*10= 100

[tex]a^2 + 25=100[/tex]

We are solving for a, so we must isolate the variable. 25 is being added to a. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction, so we subtract 25 from both sides.

[tex]a^2 +25-25=100-25[/tex]

[tex]a^2=100-25[/tex]

[tex]a^2 = 75[/tex]

a is being squared. The inverse of a square is the square root, so we take the square root of both sides.

[tex]\sqrt {a^2}= \sqrt{75}[/tex]

[tex]a= \sqrt{75}[/tex]

[tex]a= 8.660254038[/tex]

Round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 6 up to a 7 in the tenth place.

[tex]a \approx 8.7[/tex]

The length of the third side is approximately 8.7

Perpendicular=P=5Hypontenuse=H=10Base=B=?

Using Pythagorean theorem

[tex]\boxed{\sf B^2=H^2-P^2}[/tex]

Putting values

[tex]\\ \sf \longmapsto B^2=10^2-5^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf \longmapsto B^2=100-25[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf \longmapsto B^2=75[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf \longmapsto B=\sqrt{75}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf \longmapsto B=\sqrt{25\times 3}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf \longmapsto B=5\sqrt{3}[/tex]

2. Identify the independent and dependent variables in the situation.
Independent variable: Dependent variable: b) Write an equation representing the amount Waheeda earns in relation to the number of glasses of lemonade she sells.
Equation: c) In which Quadrant of a graph would her data appear? Explain.

Answers

1. The equation is 18 = 3 × x

2. a) The independent variable is the of ounces of lemon juice in the lemonade

b) A = a × b

c) First quadrant

The procedure to find the above answers are presented here as follows;

1. The following is the table of values of the data

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc} Lemon \ juice \ ounces \ (x)& & Water \ in \ ounces \ (y)\\2&&6\\3&&9\\4&&12\\5&&15\end{array}[/tex]

The given data in the table shows that the Lemon juice ounces, x, and the Water in ounces, y, have a direct proportionality relationship which is given as follows;

y ∝ x

∴ y = k × x

Where;

k = The constant of proportionality

k = y/x

Therefore;

k = 6/2 = 9/3 = 12/4 = 15/5 = 3

k = 3

y = k × x

∴ y = 3 × x

Therefore;

The equation to represent how much lemon juice, x, is needed when Waheeda uses y = 18 ounces of water  is given by placing y = 18 in y = 3 × x as to get;

18 = 3 × x

∴ x = 18/3 = 6; 6 ounces of lemon juice is needed with 18 ounces of water

2. The independent variable is the input or causing variable that determines the output variable

Therefore, the independent variable is the number of ounces of lemon juice required to be mixed with a given number of ounce of water to make lemonade

b) Let a represent the selling price for a glass of lemonade, let b represent the number of glasses of lemonade she sells, and let A represent the amount she earns, we have;

A = a × b

c) The given x and y values in the data are both positive values, which indicate that the data would appear in the first quadrant

Answers

Answer:

A system of linear equations that could be used to determine which day they will jog the same number of minutes is presented as follows;

m = 2·d + 15

m = d + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

The table of values for the number of minutes Jon and Kristen jog each day is presented as follows;

Jon

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}Day&&Minutes\\0&&15\\1&&17\\2&&19\\3&&21\end{array}[/tex]

Kristen

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}Day&&Minutes\\0&&22\\1&&23\\2&&24\\3&&25\end{array}[/tex]

The slope of the data representing Jon's data, m = (21 - 15)/(3 - 0) = 2

Therefore, the equation representing Jon's data is given as follows;

m - 15 = 2·d

m = 2·d + 15

The slope of the data representing Kristen's data, m = (25 - 22)/(3 - 0) = 1

Therefore, the equation representing Kristen's data is given as follows;

m - 22 = d

∴ m = d + 22

The system of linear equations that could be used to determine which day they will jog the same number of minutes is therefore;

m = 2·d + 15

m = d + 22

Answers

When figures are translated, rotated or reflected, the resulting figures are congruent to the original figure because the transformations are rigid. However, when a figure is dilated, the resulting figure is not congruent to the original figure.

ABCD and A'B'C'D are congruent because A'B'C'D is the result of rotating ABCD 180 degrees about the origin.

I've included the missing graph as an attachment.

Using points A and A' as our references.

We have:

[tex]A = (-1,1)[/tex]

[tex]A' = (1,-1)[/tex]

The rule of rotation 180 degrees about the origin is:

[tex](x,y) \to (-x,-y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](-1,1) \to (-(-1),-1)[/tex]

[tex](-1,1) \to (1,-1)[/tex]

The above rule is applicable to other points in ABCD and A'B'C'D'

Since the rule of transformation is rotation (a rigid transformation), then ABCD and A'B'C'D are congruent.
