the 28th term of an ap is -5,find the common difference if the first term is 31​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The common difference is -4/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the direct formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle x_n=a+d(n-1)[/tex]

Where n is the nth term, a is the initial term, and d is the common difference.

We are given that the first term a is 31.

We also know that the 28th term is -5. Hence, x₂₈ = -5. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x_{28}=-5=(31)+d(28-1)[/tex]

Solve for d. Simplify:

[tex]-5=31+27d[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle 27d=-36[/tex]

Divide both sides by 27. Hence, the common difference is:

[tex]\displaystyle d=-\frac{36}{27}=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is equivalent to:

Find the slope of a line going through points (28,-5) and (1,31).

*Arithmetic sequences are linear. The common difference is the slope.

Any ways to find the slope line the points up and subtract vertically. Then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

(28,-5)

(1,31)

---------subtracting

27, -36

So the slope or the common difference of this line or arithmetic sequence is -36/27. This reduces to -4/3.

The solutions to the equation 2x^2 + x - 1 = 2 are x = -3/2 or x = _______.

Answers

Answer:

The remaining solution to the equation is x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + x - 1 = 2

First set the equation to zero by subtracting 2 from each side:

2x^2 + x - 1 - 2 = 2 - 2

2x^2 + x - 3 = 0

Factor the left side of the equation:

2x^2 + x - 3 = 0

(2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Now set each factor to zero and solve:

2x+ 3 = 0

2x+ 3 - 3  = 0 - 3

2x= -3

2x/2= -3/2

x= -3/2 (The given expression)

x - 1 = 0

x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

x = 1

Since we already knew x = -3/2, the missing solution is x = 1.

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

The perimeter of a square is 16 cm. Find the length of its diagonal.​

Answers

Answer:

perimeter of a square is l+l+l+l

16+16+16+16=64

Answer:

4√2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of square = 4a = 16cm

a = 16 / 4

a = 4 cm

Length of each side = 4 cm

Diagonal^2 = side^2 + side^2

= 4^2 + 4^2

= 16 + 16

Diagonal^2 = 32

Diagonal = 4√2 cm

Divide by 13

[tex]r = 1in: 9ft[/tex]

(b) scale : 5 square inches  and actual : 125 square feet

[tex]r = 5in : 125ft[/tex]

Divide by 5

[tex]r = 1in : 25ft[/tex]

(c) scale : 8 square inches  and actual : 128 square feet

[tex]r = 8in : 128ft[/tex]

Divide by 8

[tex]r = 1in : 16ft[/tex]

What is the area, in square inches, of the trapezoid below

Answers

Answer:

89.2 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(15.7+6.6)(8)

=89.2 in^2

Answer:

A = 89.2 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here h = 8, b₁ = 6.6, b₂ = 15.7 , then

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 8 × (6.6 + 15.7) = 4 × 22.3 = 89.2 in²

What is an
equation of the line that passes through the points (0,6) and (-3,2)?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is the general equation of a line, where

m= slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (6-2)/(0- -3)= 4/3

b= y intercept

for point (0,6)

y=(4/3)x+b will become 6=(4/3)*0 +b, so b=6

the equation of the line that passes trough the given points is

y= (4/3) x +6

Answer:

y = 4/3 x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

M = -4/-3 = 2/3

y = 4/3 X + B

6 = 4/3(0) + B

B=6

For two complementary angles find x. The first angle is 4x+9. The second angle is 2x+27

Answers

Hope this helps u

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

When sum of two angles is 90, then they are known as complementary angles.

4x + 9  + 2x + 27 = 90

4x + 2x + 9 + 27 = 90

Combine like terms

6x + 36 = 90

Subtract 36 from both sides

6x = 90 - 36

6x = 54

Divide both sides by 6

x = 54/6

x = 9

nth term of an AP is given by an expression 7n-2,find the common difference of this sequence if fisrt term of sequence is 1? a.2 b.-2 c-7 d7​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

there is something wrong with what your write here as problem description.

either there is something missing in the main expression, or in the answer options.

given your nth-term expression 7n-2, none of the 4 answer options can fit.

so, I thought, maybe there was a typo.

the possible interpretations of the expression could be

7n - 2

7(n-2)

[tex] {7}^{n} - 2[/tex]

[tex] {7}^{n - 2} [/tex]

we know that

a1 = 1

a2 = either

a1 + 2 = 3

a1 - 2 = -1

a1 + 7 = 8

a1 - 7 = -6

so, we can eliminate both negative answer options, because they would cause only negative sequence elements, but the main expression (neither of the 4 possibilities) does not allow that.

but also none of the 4 possibilities of the expression delivers any of the 4 values for a2 as described above.

7×2 - 2 = 14 - 2 = 12

7(2-2) = 7×0 = 0

7² - 2 = 49 - 2 = 47

[tex] {7}^{2 - 2} = {7}^{0} = 1[/tex]

similar not for a3.

so, if I consider your answer options right, we have 4 possible arithmetic sequences:

1. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, ...

2. 1, -1, -3, -5, -7, -9, -11, -13, ...

3. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, ...

4. 1, -6, -13, -20, -27, -34, -41, ...

the nth term expression is for

a. an = 2n - 1

b. an = 2×(-n) + 3 = 2×(-n + 1) + 1

c. an = 7n - 6

d. an = 7×(-n) + 8 = 7×(-n + 1) + 1

so, please pick the right expression from this list, and then use the answer option with the same letter.

To find the inverse of a function, we switch out every x for a y and vice-versa.

Flipped: x = 4y + 8

Now, we solve for y again to put this equation into slope-intercept form.

x = 4y + 8

4y = x - 8

y = 1/4x - 2

h(x) = 1/4x - 2

3❌6=18
Therefore the answer is 5/6

The correct answer is option B which is the probability of either white or green is 5/6.

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Given that:-

A box contains 3 red balls, 5 white balls, and 10 green balls. If a ball is chosen at random.

The probability that it is either white or green will be calculated as:-

Total balls are :- 3+5+10=18

White or green ball - 5+10=15

3 x 5=15

3 x 6=18

P = N(e)/N(s) = 15/18

P = N(e)/N(s) = 5 / 6

Therefore the correct answer is option B which is the probability of either white or green is 5/6.

What is the slope and y-intercept of the following equation:

Answers

Answer:

The slope is -2/3 and the y-intercept is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear equation like this, the slope is the coefficient in front of the x after the expression has been completely simplified. In this case, the slope is -2/3.

For the y-intercept, that is simple too; since it is simplified, it is just the number that comes after the x package. So, for this, the y-intercept is -1.

in y=mx+b m is slope and b is y-isn’t. The slope is -2/3 because it is the coefficient to x (m=-2/3) and the y intercept is -1 (b=-1)
