(2x + 23), (8x + 2) and (20x – 52) are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.
Prove that the common difference of the sequence is 12

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (2x + 23), (8x + 2) and (20x - 52) are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

(8x + 2) - (2x + 23) = (20x - 52) - (8x + 2)

or, 6x - 21 = 12x - 54

or, 12x - 6x = - 21 + 54 = 33

or, 6x = 33

or, 2x = 11

∴ x = 11/2

∴2x + 23 = 2 × 11/2 + 23 = 34

8x + 2 = 8 × 11/2 + 2 = 46 and

20x - 52 = 20 × 11/2 - 52 = 110 - 52 = 58

34, 46 and 58 are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

∴ Common difference(d) = 46 - 34 = 58 - 46 = 12, it is proved.

Hence, the common difference of the sequence is 12.

To qualify for a scholarship, a student must score at least 90% on a written test. The test is 64 questions. Using this metric, what is the greatest number a student can miss and still qualify for the scholarship?

Answers

Answer:

6 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you divide the total score of 100 by the 64 questions to get 1.5625 points per question. Next, you divide the lowest score to qualify of 90 by the 1.5625 to get 57.6 questions correct to qualify. Then, you round 57.6 questions correct up to 58 questions correct because a fraction of a question correct doesn't make sense. Finally, you subtract the total number of questions (64) by the required correct answers (58) to get 6 questions you can miss to still qualify for the scholarship.

19. The passing marks in an examination is 40%. If Seema gets 130 marks, she fails by ups 2 marks. Find the total marks.​

Answers

Given :-

Passing marks in an exam is 40% .Seema gets 130 marks and fails by 2 marks.

To find :-

The maximum marks for the exam .

Solution :-

According to the Question ,

[tex]\dashrightarrow[/tex] Passing marks = 40% .

[tex]\dashrightarrow[/tex] Seema's marks = 130 .

Let us take the maximum marks be x . Then ,

[tex]\dashrightarrow[/tex] Passing marks = 130 + 2

[tex]\dashrightarrow[/tex] Passing marks = 132

And , by question ,

[tex]\dashrightarrow[/tex] 40x/100 = 132

[tex]\dashrightarrow[/tex] x = 132 * 100/40

[tex]\dashrightarrow[/tex] x = 330

Hence the maximum marks for the exam is 330.

Given :

Passing marks in the examination = 40% .

Marks obtained by Seema = 130 .

So, Let us assume the maximum marks as x .

Also,

Passing marks = 132 [ ∵ Seema got 130 marks and she failed by 2 marks ]

According to the question :

[tex] \\ \tt : \implies\dfrac{40x}{100} = 132 \\ \\ \tt : \implies\dfrac{4 \cancel{0}x}{10 \cancel{0}} = 132 \\ \\ \: \: \: \tt \: : \implies 4x = 132 \times 10 \\ \\ \tt : \implies \: 4x = 1320 \\ \\ \tt : \implies \: x = \frac{1320}{4} \\ \\ \tt : \implies \: x = 330 \: \: \\ [/tex]

Hence, The total marks is 330 .

Maggie's brother is 5 years younger than three times her
age. The sum of their ages IS 43.
How old is Maggie?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Maggie's age = x

The brother's age = 3x - 5

x + 3x - 5 = 43

4x - 5 = 43              Add 5 to both sides

4x - 5 + 5 = 43+5

4x = 48                  Divide by 4

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Maggie = 12

Iqbal and Sachin have bookshelves of the same size and holding books of the same sizes. Iqbal's shelf is 7/8 full and Sachin's shelf is 12/15 full. If 351 more books of the same size are distributed among them, then they can fill their shelves completely. How many books does Sachin have now?
a)
864

b)
865

c)
800

d)
850

Answers

Answer:

540 books

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Iqbal's shelf is 7/8 full ..

→ That Means we can say that, iqbal's shelf is (1 - 7/8) = 1/8 is Empty .....

Similarly,

Sachin's shelf is 12/15 full.

→ That Means we can say that, sachin's shelf is (1 - 12/15) = 3/15 is Empty.....

→ Both total Empty = (1/8 + 3/15)

Taking LCM of denominator ,

→ (15+24 /120)

→ 39/120

→ 13/40 part is Empty in both .

Now, it has been said that, when 351 more books are distributed among them , both shelves filled completely .

So, we can say that :----

→ 13/40 part ---------------- 351

→ 1 part ---------------------- 351*40/13 = 1080 = Total Books in Both Selves .

__________________

Now, since bookshelves of the same size and holding books of the same sizes ,,

→ Both have Books in Each = 1080/2 = 540 books .

From his eye, which stands 1.61 meters above the ground, Jacob measures the angle
of elevation to the top of a prominent skyscraper to be 25°. If he is standing at a
horizontal distance of 281 meters from the base of the skyscraper, what is the height
of the skyscraper? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter if necessary.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a right-angled triangle, that is "hovering" 1.61 m above the ground.

the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle) is the line of sight from the eye to the top of the skyscraper.

one leg is the height of the skyscraper (minus the 1.61 m).

the other leg is the ground distance from Jacob to the skyscraper (281 m).

we know already 2 angles : the 90° angle between the ground distance and the skyscraper height. and the 25° between the ground distance and the line of sight.

and as we know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we know that the third angle (between the line of sight and the skyscraper height) is

180 - 90 - 25 = 65°

now we can use the law of sines

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

(the ratio between a side and its opposing angle)

to get all missing side lengths.

the 25° angle is opposite of the skyscraper height, and the 65° angle is opposite of the ground distance (the only side length we know so far).

so,

height/sin(25) = 281/sin(65)

height = 281 × sin(25)/sin(65) = 131.0324519... m

to get the full height of the skyscraper, we need to add the 1.61 m that the described triangle was "hovering" above ground.

therefore, the height of the skyscraper is

131.0324519... + 1.61 = 132.6424519... ≈ 132.6 m

Make y the subject of the formula
5y - 4h = 18

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{y=\frac{18+4h}{5} }\\[/tex]

Alternatively, you can use [tex]\displaystyle \large{y=\frac{18}{5}+\frac{4h}{5} }\\[/tex] as an answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make y as the subject of equation, we have to find a way to isolate y-variable.

First, add 4h both sides of equation which we obtain:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{5y-4h+4h=18+4h} \\\displaystyle \large{5y=18+4h}[/tex]

Next, we divide both sides by 5 so we can finally have y-isolated equation and thus it becomes the new subject of equation.

[tex]\displaystyle \large{\frac{5y}{5} =\frac{18+4h}{5} }\\\displaystyle \large{y=\frac{18+4h}{5} }[/tex]

Thus the answer is y = (18+4h)/5

Alternatively for solution, you can separate the fraction which we obtain a valid alternative solution.

[tex]\displaystyle \large{y =\frac{18}{5} +\frac{4h}{5} }\\[/tex]

Either one of these solutions work.
