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.

two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]{ \boxed{ \tt{m \angle1 = m \angle5}}} \\ { \tt{m \angle1 = 180 \degree - m \angle6}} \\ { \tt{m \angle1 = 180 \degree - 123.5 \degree}} \\ { \bf{m \angle1 = 56.5 \degree}}[/tex]

When a pair of parallel lines is intersected by a transversal, then

Corresponding angles are equal.

∠2 and ∠6 are corresponding angles.

So, m∠2 = m∠6

=> m∠2 = 123.5°

We know that linear pair of angles are supplementary (180°).

∠1 and ∠2 are linear pair of angles.

So, m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°

=> m∠1 + 123.5° = 180°

=> m∠1 = 180° - 123.5°

=> m∠1 = 56.5°

0 to 100 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

as we can see the question states that a particular car' s gas mileage DEPENDS upon its speed.

Since, the independent variable is the domain of the function the speed of the car will act as the domain of the given function.

out of all the option option 1 gives us values of speed( cause its unit is miles/ hour - unit of speed).

so the domain is

0 to 100 miles per hour.

Answer:

(A) 0 to 100 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the independent variable, or the input. The speed is the independent variable because the gas mileage DEPENDS on it. That means the gas mileage is the dependent variable.

The only answer that is related to the speed is the first answer choice.

Lisa bought 15 CDs in December. Of those, 3 were jazz, the rest were world
music. How many world music discs did she buy?
HELPPP

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Total CD's Lisa bought = 15

Jazz music = 3

World music = x

Find x

Total CD's Lisa bought = Jazz music + World music

15 = 3 + x

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

15 - 3 = 3 + x - 3

12 = x

x = 12

Therefore,

World music = x = 12

a train leaves Westchester at 6:30. What time should it arrive at Middlewich

Answers

Answer:

a). 6:51

b). 6:30 am

c). 34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Train leaves Westchester at 6:30.

   From the arrival - departure table in column (2),

   Arrival time of the train at middlewich = 6:51

b). Kate has to reach Southam before 9:00 am

   Therefore, time of the latest train that she can catch to get to work on time is 6:30 am

    By this train she can reach at 07:19 at Southam.

c). Duration of journey from Westchester to Eastwick = 06:34 - 06:00

                                                                                        = 00:34

                                                                                        ≈ 34 minutes

2. Forming a four-digit ATM pin.
3. Securing a motorcycle with a three-digit combination lock using the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6
4. Displaying 3 identical small vases, 1 figurine, and a photo frame in a row
5. 3 girls sitting around a circular table​

Answers

Answer:

1: 16

2: 4940

3: 24

4: 25

5: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A permutation is a method of calculating the number of possible outcomes. It follows the following general formula;

[tex]_nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

There (n) is the number of objects, and (r) is the number of objects selected.

1. Arranging 4 pots with different plants in a row

In order to solve this, one needs two pieces of information, the number of objects, and the number of objects selected. One is given the number of objects; (4), but when the problem states "in a row" it never specifies how many plants are in a row. Thus, let one assume that a "row" can have an infinite amount of space, but in this case, only (4) space will be used. Therefore there are (4) objects with (4) objects selected. However, the drawback is that the combination formula doesn't work when the two parameters (n) and (r) are the same. Hence, to solve this special case, one simply multiplies the two numbers to get the answers:

[tex]n*r\\\\=4*4\\\\=16[/tex]

2. Forming a four-digit ATM pin

One is given that there are (4) digits in the ATM pin, this is the number of objects selected. One is also given that number of objects, there are (10) digits including (0). Set up the permutation and solve;

[tex]_nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

[tex]_1_0P_4=\frac{10!}{(10-4)!}\\\\=\frac{10!}{6!}\\\\=\frac{10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{6*5*4*3*2*1}\\\\=10*9*8*7\\\\=4940[/tex]

3. Securing a motorcycle with a three-digit combination lock using the numbers (1), (2), (3), and (6).

There are (4) digits to choose from on the lock. But there are (3) numbers that can be selected.

[tex]_4P_3=\frac{4!}{(4-3)!}\\\\=\frac{4!}{1!}\\\\=\frac{4*3*2*1}{1}\\\\=4*3*2*1\\\\=24[/tex]

4. Displaying 3 identical small vases, 1 figure, and a photo frame in a row.

There are (5) objects, and (5) spaces (read problem (1) for an explanation for the objects being put in a row). Thus, this is a special case; multiply the two numbers to get the result;

[tex]n*r\\=5*5\\=25[/tex]

5. 3 girls sitting around a circular table

There are (3) subjects, and (3) spaces in this problem. Apply the same logic applies to a row in this problem. Therefore, this is another special case; multiply the two numbers to get the result;

[tex]n*r\\=3*3\\=9[/tex]

the angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point 42 metres away from it's base on level ground is 26 degrees. find the height of the tower.

Answers

Answer:

20.485 Meters

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you wanna draw a diagram.  Start with the tower, then on the ground to the left (or right) draw a point.  The point will be labeled as 42 m away from the tower.  Now draw a line from that point to the top of the tower.  This makes your triangle, and that angle you just drew that touches the point is 26 degrees.

Now, since you have a right triangle you can use trig.  You know an angle and a side.  Specifically, relative to the 26 degree angle you know the adjacent angle and want the opposite, which is the tower.  So opposite and adjacent is tangent.  So you set up tan(26) = o/42 where o is the opposite side.  

So solving you get o = 20.485 meters

Joshua is 1.45 meters tall. At 2 p.m., he measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 31.65 meters. He stands 26.2 meters away from the tree, so that the tip of his shadow meets the tip of the tree's shadow. Find the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter .

Answers

Answer:

height of the tree ≈ 8.42 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram given represents that of two similar triangles. Therefore, the corresponding lengths of the similar triangles are proportional to each other.

height of tree = h

Therefore:

1.45/h = (31.65 - 26.2)/31.65

1.45/h = 5.45/31.65

Cross multiply

h*5.45 = 1.45*31.65

h*5.45 = 45.8925

h = 45.8925/5.45

h ≈ 8.42 m (nearest hundredth)

#2: (D) f(q) = 2q + 3

#3: (C) 1

#4: (B) f(5) = -1

#5: (A) - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

The number inside the parentheses is the input value, or x coordinate, and the output value (the number on the right side of the equal sign) is the y coordinate.

Use basic graph plotting skills to see if the x coordinate has a y coordinate value that's ON the graph line.

Question 2:

The variable "q" is our independent variable, also known as our x variable if you used the y = mx + b formula.

To rewrite 6q = 3s - 9 into function notation, you would solve for variable "s" using basic algebra:

6q = 3s - 9

6q + 9 = 3s

2q + 3 = s

s = 2q + 3 or f(q) = 2q + 3

Question 3:

The number inside the parentheses, -2, is the input value, or the x coordinate. Looking at the table, you can see that when you input -2, you get an ouput of 1.

Question 4:

Use the same process as Question 1.

Question 5:

The number inside the parentheses, 5, is the input value, or the x coordinate. Looking at the table, you can see that when you input 5, you get an ouput of -8.
