first second and last term of Ap are a,b,2a respectively, find its sum​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  (3ab)/(2(b-a))

Step-by-step explanation:

The n-th term of an arithmetic progression is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

Then the value of n is ...

  n = (an -a1)/d +1

The sum of an arithmetic progression is the product of the number of terms and the average of the first and last terms. In this sequence, the common difference d is ...

  d = (b -a)

So, the sum is ...

  Sn = (a +2a)/2·((2a -a)/(b -a) +1)

  Sn = (3ab)/(2(b-a)) . . . . sum of the arithmetic progression

__

Example:

The sequence 1, 1.5, 2 has ...

  a = 1, b = 1.5

Its sum is given by the above formula as ...

  Sn = 3(1)(1.5)/(2(1.5 -1)) = 4.5/(2(.5)) = 4.5 = 1 + 1.5 + 2 . . . . yes

No, it is an ancient problem which has been proved to be impossible (in 1837), at least not for an arbitray angle.

However, we can trisect certain angles, such as 90 degrees, but rather than trisection, we are just constructing 30 degree angles.

What is your straight-time pay?

Answers

Answer:

my straight time payment will be $116 for last week

Step-by-step explanation:

The local bowling alley pays

$7.25 per hour to manage the desk.

If worked 16 hours, my straight time payment will be

Rate= $7.25 per hour

Hour worked= 16 hours

my straight time payment = rate*hour worked

my straight time payment = 7.25*16

Calculate the derivative of the function. Then find the value of the derivative as specified:
f(x) = 5x + 9; f "(2)
A) f "(x) 0,f , (2)-0
B) f , (x)-9; f , (2) = 9
C)f"(x) = 5; f "(2) = 5
D) f '(x) 5x; f '(2) 10

Answers

The correct question is;

Calculate the derivative of the function. Then find the value of the derivative as specified:

f(x) = 5x + 9; f '(2)

A) f'(x) = 0; f'(2) = 0

B) f'(x) = 9; f '(2) = 9

C)f'(x) = 5; f'(2) = 5

D) f '(x) = 5x; f '(2) = 10

Answer:

Option C: f'(x) = 5 and f '(2) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the derivative of f(x) = 5x + 9.

Now, the derivative with respect to x will be;

f'(x) = 5

Now,we also want to find out f'(2)

This means we are to put 2 for x in the derivative function.

In the derivative function, we don't have x as we have just 5.

Thus,f'(2) = 5

A special mixed-nut blend at a store cost $1.35 per lb, and in 2010 the blend cost $1.83 per lb. Let y represent the cost of a pound of the mixed-nut blend x years after 2005. Use a linear equation model to estimate the cost of a pound of the mixed-nut blend in 2007.

Answers

Answer:

y = $1.542 per lb

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

mixed-nut blend store cost  2005 = $1.35 per lb

blend cost in 2010 = $1.83 per lb

solution

we consider here y = cost of a pound

and x year = after 2005

we will use here linear equation model

so

[tex]\frac{y - 1.35}{1.83-1.35} = \frac{x-10}{5 - 0}[/tex]    .........................1

solve it we get

5y - 6.75 = .48 x

so

at 2007 year here x wil be 2

so

[tex]y = \frac{0.48 \times 2 + 6.75}{5}[/tex]  

solve it we get

y = $1.542 per lb

Answers

Answer:

[tex](1,-1)[/tex] and [tex](3.5,1.5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 2x^2 - 8x+5[/tex]

[tex]y = x - 2[/tex]

Required

Determine the solution

Substitute x - 2 for y in [tex]y = 2x^2 - 8x+5[/tex]

[tex]x - 2 = 2x^2 - 8x+5[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]0 = 2x^2 - 8x - x + 5 + 2[/tex]

[tex]0 = 2x^2 - 9x + 7[/tex]

Expand the expression

[tex]0 = 2x^2 - 7x - 2x+ 7[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]0 = x(2x - 7) -1(2x - 7)[/tex]

[tex]0 = (x-1)(2x - 7)[/tex]

Split the expression

[tex]x - 1 = 0[/tex] or [tex]2x - 7 = 0[/tex]

Solve for x in both cases

[tex]x = 1[/tex] or [tex]2x = 7[/tex]

[tex]x = 1[/tex] or [tex]2x/2 = 7/2[/tex]

[tex]x = 1[/tex] or [tex]x = 3.5[/tex]

Recall that

[tex]y = x - 2[/tex]

When [tex]x = 1[/tex]

[tex]y = 1 -2[/tex]

[tex]y = -1[/tex]

When [tex]x = 3.5[/tex]

[tex]y = 3.5 - 2[/tex]

[tex]y = 1.5[/tex]

A customer can pay GH➣900.00 per month on a mortgage payment.

Interest rate is 12% annually compounded continuously, and mortgage

terms is 15 years. Determine the maximum amount the customer can pay within

the period.​

Answers

Answer:

  $74,748.11

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make use of the amortization formula, we need to find the equivalent monthly interest rate.

When 12% interest is compounded continuously, the annual multiplier is ...

  e^0.12 ≈ 1.127497

The equivalent multiplier when the interest is compounded monthly is the 12th root of this,

  (e^0.12)^(1/12) = e^0.01 ≈ 1.0100502 = 1 + r

___

The amortization formula tells us that monthly payment amount A will pay off principal P in n months:

  P = A(1 -(1 +r)^-n)/r = $900(1 -1.0100502^-180)/0.0100502

  P = $74,748.11

The customer can pay off a 12% loan of $74,748.11 at the rate of $900 per month for 15 years.

Find n for the arithmetic sequence for which sn=345, u1=12 and d = 5 .

Answers

Answer:

n = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is

[tex]S_{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex] [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 12 and d = 5 and [tex]S_{n}[/tex] = 345, thus

[tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex] [ (2 × 12) + 5(n - 1) ] = 345 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

n( 24 + 5n - 5) = 690 ← distribute and simplify left side

n(19 + 5n) = 690

19n + 5n² = 690 ( subtract 690 from both sides )

5n² + 19n - 690 = 0 ← in standard form

(5n + 69)(n - 10) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

5n + 69 = 0 ⇒ 5n = - 69 ⇒ n = - [tex]\frac{69}{5}[/tex]

n - 10 = 0 ⇒ n = 10

However, n > 0 , thus n = 10

To which set of numbers does the number sqr rt-16 belong? Select all that apply

Answers

Answer:

The square root of -16 is an imaginary number and a complex number. Sqrt(-16)=4i. We use the i to indicate that the number is imaginary since there is no number that can be multiplied by itself to get a negative number (a negative times a negative is a positive, and a positive times a positive is also a positive). So the use of i tells you immediately that it's an imaginary number. You can tell the number is complex because it has both a real and an imaginary part and could be written in the form a+bi, where a is a real number and bi is an imaginary number. In this specific case, the real part (a) is 0 and the imaginary part (bi) is 4i.

Group like terms

5y - 4.7y = 19 - 18.8

Write the null and alternative hypotheses you would use to answer this question. Are Americans getting fatter? Researchers interested in this question take a random sample of 500 people and record an average weight of 190 pounds. Ten years ago, the average weight was 185 pounds.

H0:  u = 185      against     Ha: u > 185

or

H0:  u ≤ 185      against     Ha: u > 185

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternative hypotheses for this experiment would be

H0:  u = 185      against     Ha: u > 185

or

H0:  u ≤ 185      against     Ha: u > 185

This is a one tailed test .

If the results are such that we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis it means that the Americans are getting fatter as the mean weight is increasing day by day.

The null hypothesis deals with all the values equal to or less than 185 pounds and the alternative with all the values greater than 185  pounds.

in the diagram, POS,QOT and UOR are straight lines. Find the value of y.​

Answers

Answer:

y = 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠QOR and ∠UOT are vertical, they are congruent so ∠UOT = 5y. Since POS is a straight line (which has a measure of 180°) and ∠POS = ∠POU + ∠UOT + ∠TOS, we can write:

5y + 5y + 2y = 180

12y = 180

Examine the diagram. Triangle M P L. Angle P is 90 degrees and angle L is (4 x + 6) degrees. The exterior angle to angle M is 136 degrees. What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = [tex]10^{0}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From Δ MPL given that; <P = [tex]90^{0}[/tex], exterior angle to M = [tex]136^{0}[/tex] and <L = [tex](4x+6)^{0}[/tex].

In the triangle, the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two adjacent interior angles. So that;

[tex]136^{0}[/tex] = [tex]90^{0}[/tex] + [tex](4x+6)^{0}[/tex]

      = [tex]90^{0}[/tex] + 4[tex]x^{0}[/tex] + [tex]6^{0}[/tex]

[tex]136^{0}[/tex] = [tex]96^{0}[/tex] + [tex]x^{0}[/tex]

⇒      4[tex]x^{0}[/tex] = [tex]136^{0}[/tex] - [tex]96^{0}[/tex]

        4[tex]x^{0}[/tex]  = [tex]40^{0}[/tex]

Divided both sides by 4 to have;

[tex]x^{0}[/tex] = [tex]10^{0}[/tex]

The value of x is [tex]10^{0}[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations of line

3x-2y=13

2y+x+1=0​

=> x = -1 -2y

Point of intersection will coordinates where both equation have same value of (x,y)

top get that we have to solve the both equations by using method of substitution of simultaneous equation.

using this value of x in 3x-2y=13, we have

3(-1-2y) -2y = 13

=> -3 -6y-2y = 13

=> -8y = 13+3 = 16

=> y = 16/-8 = -2

x = -1 - 2y = -1 -2(-2) = -1+4= 3

Thus, point of intersection of line is (3,-2)
