How many terms of the arithmetic sequence {1,22,43,64,85,…} will give a sum of 2332? Show all steps including the formulas used to calculate your answer. Please don't link me any answers, I am unable to open them.

Answers

Answer 1

There's a slight problem with your question, but we'll get to that...

Consecutive terms of the sequence are separated by a fixed difference of 21 (22 = 1 + 21, 43 = 22 + 21, 64 = 43 + 21, and so on), so the n-th term of the sequence, a (n), is given recursively by

a (1) = 1

• a (n) = a (n - 1) + 21 … … … for n > 1

We can find the explicit rule for the sequence by iterative substitution:

a (2) = a (1) + 21

a (3) = a (2) + 21 = (a (1) + 21) + 21 = a (1) + 2×21

a (4) = a (3) + 21 = (a (1) + 2×21) + 21 = a (1) + 3×21

and so on, with the general pattern

a (n) = a (1) + 21 (n - 1) = 21n - 20

Now, we're told that the sum of some number N of terms in this sequence is 2332. In other words, the N-th partial sum of the sequence is

a (1) + a (2) + a (3) + … + a (N - 1) + a (N) = 2332

or more compactly,

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N a(n) = 2332[/tex]

It's important to note that N must be some positive integer.

Replace a (n) by the explicit rule:

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N (21n-20) = 2332[/tex]

Expand the sum on the left as

[tex]\displaystyle 21 \sum_{n=1}^N n-20\sum_{n=1}^N1 = 2332[/tex]

and recall the formulas,

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n1=\underbrace{1+1+\cdots+1}_{n\text{ times}}=n[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^nk=1+2+3+\cdots+n=\frac{n(n+1)}2[/tex]

So the sum of the first N terms of a (n) is such that

21 × N (N + 1)/2 - 20N = 2332

Solve for N :

21 (N ² + N) - 40N = 4664

21 N ² - 19 N - 4664 = 0

Now for the problem I mentioned at the start: this polynomial has no rational roots, and instead

N = (19 ± √392,137)/42 ≈ -14.45 or 15.36

so there is no positive integer N for which the first N terms of the sum add up to 2332.

What is turning point?

A turning point is a point at which the derivative changes sign.

We have,

One zero is  [tex](-5)[/tex],

Let other Zero be [tex]"a"[/tex],

Turning point at [tex](3,10)[/tex].

i.e. [tex]x=3[/tex] and [tex]y=10[/tex]

Since the difference between [tex]3[/tex] and [tex](-5)[/tex] is [tex]8[/tex].

So,

The difference between the other zero from [tex]3[/tex] should be the same as the difference between [tex]3[/tex] and [tex](-5)[/tex].

i.e.

[tex]a-3=8[/tex]

[tex]a=11[/tex]

Hence the value of its other zero is [tex]11.[/tex]

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (In decimal).​

Answers

Answer:

approximately 8.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Regard (3, -2) and (7, 6) as the two acute angle vertices of a right triangle.  The horizontal leg of this triangle has the length (7 - 3) = 4, and the vertical leg 6 - (-2) = 8.  

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the diagonal connecting these two points.  This length is the distance between the two points:

d = √(4² + 8²) = √(16 + 64) = √80 + √16√5 = 4√5, or approximately 8.9

Answers

Answer:

a) 1000+0.05x ≥2200

b) x=24000

Step-by-step explanation:

a) So we know that Nadia for certain gets paid $1000 each month. That is a concrete amount that doesn't change, so the variable (x) would be placed on the 5% she earns from sales. We don't know how much she sells each month because it varies, so that will be represented by the X. Her goal is to raise NO LESS than $2200, which means the amount she earns from sales has to be greater than or equal to $2200.

b) From here just solve the equation for X:

Leonard made the 3-d shape below for an art project. He wants to paint it blue.
How many square centimeters of paint does he need to paint the outside of every
side except for the bottom?
10 cm
6 cm

Answers

Answer:

90 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex] of blue paint

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, the sides have the same dimensions and the shape of a triangle.

Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x base x height

Given that, the base of each side = 6 cm, and the height = 10 cm.

Then,

Area of each side of the shape = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 6 x 10

                                              = 30 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

Since Leonard wish to paint only the 3 sides and not the bottom part of the shape, the amount of paint required can be determined as;

3 x area of each side = 3 x 30

                                   = 90 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

Leonard would need 90 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex] of paint to paint the sides of the shape.

Mr. Sweeney's car can travel 195 miles on 10 gallons of gas. How far
can Mr. Sweeney travel if he buys 18 gallons of gas?
I

Answers

Answer:

Miles in 10 gallons = 195

Miles in 1 gallon = 195/10 = 19.5

Miles in 18 gallons = 19.5 × 18 = 351 miles.

Answer:

Miles travelled by the car on 10 gallons of gas = 195 miles

Miles travelled by the car in 1 gallon of gas = 195 ÷ 10 = 19.5 miles

Miles travelled by the car in 18 gallons of gas = 19.5 × 18 = 351 miles.
