The sum of the first ten terms of an arithmetic progression consisting of

positive integer terms is equal to the sum of the 20th, 21st and 22nd term.

If the first term is less than 20, find how many terms are required to give

a sum of 960.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]n=13[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sum of the first 10 terms is equal to sum of 20, 21, and 22 term

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{10}{2}[2a+(10-1)d]=[a+19d]+[a+20d]+[a+21d]\\\\\Rightarrow 5[2a+9d]=3a+60d\\\Rightarrow 10a+45d=3a+60d\\\Rightarrow 7a=15d[/tex]

No of terms to give a sum of 960

[tex]\Rightarrow 960=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\\\\\Rightarrow 1920=n[2a+(n-1)\cdot \dfrac{7}{15}a]\\\\\Rightarrow 28,800=n[30a+7a(n-1)]\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{28,800}{n[30+7n-7]}\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{28,800}{n[23+7n]}[/tex]

Value of first term is less than 20

[tex]\therefore \dfrac{28,800}{n[23+7n]}<20\\\\\Rightarrow 28,800<20n[23+7n]\\\Rightarrow 0<460n+140n^2-28,800\\\Rightarrow 140n^2+460n-28,800>0\\\\\Rightarrow n>12.79\\\\\text{For integer value }\\\Rightarrow n=13[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

In the previous answer halfway through they used the equation: 960 = (n÷2)×(2a+(n-1)×(7a÷15))

Using this equation we can substitute an number to replace n, the higher the number is the smaller a would be.

When we substitute 15 into a, then it leaves us with the answer to be a = 15 which is a positive integer and also is smaller than 20, this then let’s us know that 15 is how many terms can be summed up to make 960.

To double check this answer you can find that d = 7 by changing the a into 15 in the formula 7a/15 (found in the previous answer.

Then in the expression: (n÷2)×(2a+(n-1)×d)

substitute:

n = 14 (must be an even number for the equation to work)

a = 15

d = 7

This will give you an answer of 847, but this is only 14 terms as we changed n into 14. To add the final term you need to complete the following equation: 847+(a+(n-1)×d)

substituting:

n = 15

a = 15

d = 7

This will give you the answer of 960, again proving that it takes 15 terms to sum together to make the number 960.

I hope this has helped you.

P.S. Everything in the previous solution was right apart from the start of the last section and the answer

1) Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with slope of 6 and y-intercept of -3. Then graph the line. 2) Write an equation in point-slope form of the line with slope -3/5 that contains(-10 ,8). Then graph the line.

Answers

Answer:

An equation in the slope-intercept form is:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

a)

Here we have a slope of 6 and a y-intercept of -3

Then the equation is:

y = 6*x - 3

Now we want to graph this.

To graph it, we first need to find two points (x, y) that belong to this equation, then we can graph the points, and connect them with a line.

To find the points, we evaluate in two different values of x.

x = 0

y = 6*0 - 3 = -3

Then we have the point (0, -3)

x = 1

y = 6*1 - 3 = 3

Then we have the point (1, 3)

The graph of this line can be seen in the image below (the red one)

b) Similar to before, here the slope is -3/5, then the equation is something like:

y = (-3/5)*x + b

Now we also know that the line passes through the point (-10, 8)

This means that when x = -10, we must have y = 8

Replacing these two in the equation we get:

8 = (-3/5)*-10 + b

8 = 6 + b

8 - 6 = 2 = b

Then this equation is:

y = (-3/5)*X + 2

The graph can be found in the same way as before, the graph of this function can also be seen in the image below (the green one)

Leora wants to paint the nursery in her house. The nursery is an 8–by–10–foot rectangle, and the ceiling is 10 feet tall. There is a 3–by–6.5–foot door on one wall, a 3–by–6.5–foot closet door on another wall, and one 2–by–3.5–foot window on the third wall. The fourth wall has no doors or windows. If she will only paint the four walls, and not the ceiling or doors, how many square feet will she need to paint?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 242 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

one door : 3*6.5 => 19.5 ft^2

other door: 3*6.5 => 19.5 ft^2

a window: 2*3.5 => 7 ft^2

total =       46 ft^2

area of all four walls: 2h (l+b)

= 2(8) (10+8)

= 16 (18)

= 288 ft^2

paint required excluding doors and window:

=> area of your wall - (area of doors and window)

=> 288 - 46

= 242 ft^2

9 friends are lining up. Joe, Susan, John, and Meredith must be beside each other. How many ways can they line up?

Answers

Answer:  17,280

This is one single number slightly over 17 thousand.

You may need to erase the comma when typing the answer in.

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

Explanation:

Let's say that another person steps in for Joe, Susan, John, and Meredith. I'll refer to this person as the teacher (perhaps these 9 friends are students on a field trip).

The 9 friends drops to 9-4 = 5 people when those four named people leave the group temporarily. Then it bumps up to 5+1 = 6 people when the teacher steps in. Wherever the teacher is located, the four friends that left will replace the teacher. This guarantees that those four friends stick together.

There are 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720 ways to arrange those 6 people. The exclamation mark is a factorial symbol.

Within any of those 720 permutations, we have 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24 ways to arrange those group of named people when they come back to replace the teacher.

So overall the answer is 4!*6! = 24*720 = 17,280

You may need to erase the comma when typing the answer in.

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

Side note: There are 9! = 362,880 ways to arrange all nine friends regardless if those four mentioned people stick together or not. We see that they stick together roughly (17,280)/(362,880) = 0.0476 = 4.76% of the time.

A = (0, 1)B = (3, -2)area = 4.5 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting the equations to make x the subject, we have ...

  x = y² -1 . . . . . [eq1]

  x = 1 - y . . . . . .[eq2]

At the points of intersection, the difference will be zero.

  y² -1 -(1 -y) = 0

  y² +y -2 = 0

  (y -1)(y +2) = 0

The y-coordinates of points A and B are 1 and -2.

The corresponding x-coordinates are ...

  x = 1 -{1, -2} = {1 -1, 1+2} = {0, 3}

Then A = (0, 1) and B = (3, -2).

__

A differential of area can be written ...

What is the depth of water in a tank with 300,000 gallons of water at 70F when the pressure gauge at the bottom of the tank reads 23 psig?​

Answers

Answer:

53.08 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure at the bottom of the tank, P = ρgh where ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = depth of water in tank.

Since the pressure at the bottom of the tank, P = ρgh, making h subject of the formula, we have

h = P/ρg

Since P = 23 psig = 23 × 1 psig = 23 × 6894.76 Pa = 158579.48 Pa

Substituting the values of the other variables into h, we have

h = P/ρg

h = 158579.48 Pa/(1000 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 158579.48 Pa/(9800 kg/m²s²)

h = 16.18 m

h = 16.18 × 1 m

h = 16.18 × 3.28 ft

h = 53.08 ft

The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = -log[H], where Ht iS the concentration of hydrogen ions. A basic
solution has a pH of 11.2. An acidic solution has a pH of 2.4. What is the approximate difference in the concentration
of hydrogen ions between the two solutions?

Answers

Answer:

The difference in the H⁺ concentration between the two solutions is approximately equal to the H⁺ concentration of the acidic solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH is given by:

[tex] pH = -log[H^{+}] [/tex]

Where:

[tex] [H^{+}][/tex]: is the concentration of hydrogen ions.

For the basic solution (pH = 11.2), the concentration of H⁺ is given by:

[tex] [H^{+}]_{b} = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-11.2} = 6.31 \cdot 10^{-12} [/tex]

And, for the acidic solution (pH = 2.4) we have:

[tex] [H^{+}]_{a} = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-2.4} = 3.98 \cdot 10^{-3} [/tex]

Hence, the difference in the concentration of H⁺ between the two solutions is:

[tex] \Delta H^{+} = [H^{+}]_{a} - [H^{+}]_{b} = 3.98 \cdot 10^{-3} - 6.31\cdot 10^{-12} = 3.98 \cdot 10^{-3} [/tex]

               

Therefore, the difference in the H⁺ concentration between the two solutions is approximately equal to the H⁺ concentration of the acidic solution.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

file cabinet = 50

chair = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

x = chair

y = file cabinet

1st year, solve for x

2x+4y = 380

2x = 380 - 4y

x = 190 - 2y

2nd year

Now substitute x = 190 - 2y in your 2nd year formula

4x+6y = 660

4(190-2y)+6y = 660

760 - 8y + 6y = 660

-2y = -100

y = 50

The cost of the filling cabinet is 50 each

Now use the value for y (50) in your first formula to get x

2x+4y=380

2x+4*50=380

2x=380-200

2x=180

x=90
