The 9th term of an arithmetic progression is 3+3p and the sum of the first four terms is 2p-10, where p is constant. Given that the common difference is 2, find the value of p.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the first term in terms of p.

So an arithmetic sequence is a linear relation.

That means it will have the same slope no matter the pair of points used. We are given the slope, the common difference, is 2. We are going to use point (9, 3+3p) and (1, t(1)) along with m=2 to find t(1).

[t(1)-(3+3p)]/[1-9]=2

Simplify denominator

[t(1)-(3+3p)]/[-8]=2

Multiply both sides by -8

t(1)-(3+3p)=-16

Add (3+3p) on both sides

t(1)=-16+3+3p

Combine like terms

t(1)=-13+3p

This means we can find the next term by adding 2 this.

t(2)=-11+3p

Let's find the next term by adding 2 this.

t(3)=-9+3p

Finally we can find the 4th term by adding 2 to this

t(4)=-7+3p

We are given the sum of the first 4 terms is 2p-10. So we can write:

-13+3p+-11+3p+-9+3p+-7+3p=2p-10

Combine like terms on left

12p-40=2p-10

Subtract 2p on both sides

10p-40=-10

Add 40 on both sides

10p=30

Divide both sides by 10

p=3.

-----------------

Checking:

t(1)=-13+3p=-13+3(3)=-13+9=-4

t(2)=-11+3p=-11+3(3)=-11+9=-2

t(3)=-9+3p=-9+3(3)=-9+9=0

t(4)=-7+3p=-7+3(3)=-7+9=2

----sum of the first 4 is -4

And 2p-10 at p=3 gives 2(3)-10=6-10=-4

So this part checks out

In general, the pattern that those 4 terms I wrote out follow t(n)=(-13-2)+2n+3p. I know this because the 0th term would have been (-13-2)+3p and this part goes up by 2 each time. The plus 3p part doesn't change.

Anyways t(9)=(-13-2)+2(9)+3p=-15+18+3p=3+3p. And this part looks good too.

b. How are the 2 functions different?

Answer:

a. Yes it's correct, reasons;

I) let x=1, f(1)=2^1=2, g(x)=1^2=1 this proves that when a higher number is used the value of f(x) will be higher than g(x).

ii) As x approaches zero f(x) approaches 1, but g(x) approaches 0. Which will make the rate at which the graph of f(x) increase be faster than g(x)

b. f(x) has an infinite degree but g(x) has a finite degree of 2.

Which of the following are valid (necessarily true) sentences? a. (∃x x = x) ⇒ (∀ y ∃z y = z). b. ∀ x P(x) ∨ ¬P(x). c. ∀ x Smart(x) ∨ (x = x)

Answers

Answer:

b; ∀x   P(x) ∨ ¬P(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have a proposition p

Such that p can be true or false.

We can define the negation of p as:

¬p

Such that, if p is false, then ¬p is true

if p is true, then ¬p is false.

Also remember that a proposition like:

p ∨ q

is true when, at least one, p or q, is true.

Then if we write:

p ∨ ¬p

Always one of these will be true (and the other false)

Then the statement is true.

And if the statement depends on some variable, then we will have that:

p(x) ∨ ¬p(x)

is true for all the allowed values of x.

from this, we can conclude that the statement that is always true is:

b; ∀x   P(x) ∨ ¬P(x)

Where here we have:

For all the values of x,   P(x)  ∨ ¬P(x)

Answer:

53 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle N = angle E

because angle made by joining end points of same chord on circumference are always equal.

so angle E = 37

Angle D = 90 ( because angle made by diameter on circumference is 90 degrees)

Now in Triangle DEC. Sum if all the angles of triangle us 180

Angle D + angle E + ? = 180

37 + 90 + ? = 180

127 + ? = 180

? = 180 - 127

Tickets to a football final are selling well. On Thursday, 47 of the tickets are sold. On Friday, 14 of the tickets are sold. What fraction of tickets are available to sell on Saturday?

Answers

The question seems incomplete ; as the total number of tickets to be sold isn't given.

Answer:

61 / X

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the total Number of tickets to be sold as : X

Number of tickets sold on Thursday = 47

Number sold on Friday = 14

Fraction of tickets available for sale on Saturday :

(Total number of tickets already sold) / Total number of tickets to be sold

(Thursday + Friday sales) / total number of tickets to be sold

Fraction available for sale on Saturday = (47+14) / X

Fraction available for sale on Saturday = 61 / X

Kindly put value of x = total number of tickets available for sale to get the exact fraction.

Let the Vertices of the  Δ  be  A , B ,  and  C

We will follow the Usual Notation for  Δ A B C ,  e.g., the side

opposite to the Vertex  A  will be denoted by  a , m ∠ A = A ,  etc.

In this notation, let us assume that,

a = 32 , b = 35 , & , C = 120 ° & we have to find  c

Using Cosine-Rule for  Δ A B C , we have,  

c²= a²+b² - 2 ab cos C = 32 ²+35² - 2 x 32 x 35 x cos 120° =

1024 + 1225 − 2240  cos ( 180 °− 60 °) = 2249 - 2240(-cos 60°)

2249+ 2240 (1/2)= 2249 + 1120=  3369

Answer: C= √3369 is about 58.04

Answer:  58.043087 (approximate)

===================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. We can use the law of cosines to solve for c

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2*a*b*cos(C)

c^2 = 32^2 + 35^2 - 2*32*35*cos(120)

c^2 = 3369

c = sqrt(3369)

c = 58.043087 which is approximate
