The seventh term of an arithmetic progression is equal to twice the fifth term. The sum
of the first seven terms is 84. Find the first term.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a₁ = - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an AP is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₇ = 2a₅ , then

a₁ + 6d = 2(a₁ + 4d) = 2a₁ + 8d ( subtract 2a₁ + 8d from both sides )

- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)

The sum to n terms of an AP is

[tex]S_{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex] [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

Given [tex]S_{7}[/tex] = 84 , then

[tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] (2a₁ + 6d) = 84

3.5(2a₁ + 6d) = 84 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )

2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)

Thus we have 2 equations

- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)

2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate d

- 3a₁ - 6d = 0 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate d

- a₁ = 24 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a₁ = - 24

x^2+9x+9=0

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{-9\pm3\sqrt{5} }{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0

Quadratic Formula: [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

Step 1: Write equation

x² + 9x + 9 = 0

Since we cannot factor the expression, we will have to use the quadratic formula.

Step 2: Define

a = 1

b = 9

c = 9

Step 3: Solve for x

Substitute: [tex]x=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{9^2-4(1)(9)} }{2(1)}[/tex]Evaluate: [tex]x=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81-36} }{2}[/tex]Evaluate: [tex]x=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{45} }{2}[/tex]Simplify: [tex]x=\frac{-9\pm3\sqrt{5} }{2}[/tex]

Answer:

 X1= -9-3[tex]\sqrt5[/tex]  over 2    X2= -9+3[tex]\sqrt5[/tex] over 2  (draw a line under the -9 to the 5

                                                                         and put a 2 under like a fraction

                                                                          i cant get the line all the way

                                                                          across on here   sorry

Step by step explanation:

x= -9 [tex]\sqrt9^2 -4x1x9[/tex]    Over (draw a line under that) Put all that under sq root

             2 x 1                        also

x= -9+ [tex]\sqrt81-36[/tex]         Over 2

           2

x= -9 + [tex]\sqrt45[/tex]                 Over 2

Step-by-step explanation:

P and 33 are complementary we know this because of the right angle so set up this equation:

Answers

Answer:

{(2,3), (3,4), (5,1), (6,2), (7,3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation may or may not represent a function.

The relation that is a function is (c) {(2,3), (3,4), (5,1), (6,2), (7,3)}

Relations and functions

For a relation to be considered a function, then the x values must point to different y-values.

The above condition is true for the relation (3).

This is so because all x values in this relation point to different y-values.

Hence, the relation that is a function is (c) {(2,3), (3,4), (5,1), (6,2), (7,3)}

Maya spent her allowance on playing an arcade game a few times and riding the Ferris wheel more than once.

Write about what additional information you would need to create a two-variable equation for the scenario. What kind of problem could you solve with your equation?

HELP PLS

Answers

Answer:

Sample Response: To write a two-variable equation, I would first need to know how much Maya’s allowance was. Then, I would need the cost of playing the arcade game and of riding the Ferris wheel. I could let the equation be cost of playing the arcade games plus cost of riding the Ferris wheel equals the total allowance. My variables would represent the number of times Maya played the arcade game and the number of times she rode the Ferris wheel. With this equation I could solve for how many times she rode the Ferris wheel given the number of times she played the arcade game.

Solve the inequality 3(k-9) > 3k + 6.

Answers

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving inequalities is similar to solving equations. First let's distribute the 3 with (k-9)

[tex]3(k - 9) > 3k + 6[/tex]

[tex]3k - 27 > 3k + 6[/tex]

(Subtract 3k from both sides)

[tex] - 27 > 6[/tex]

[tex] - 33 > 0[/tex]

(Subtract 6 from both sides. You can also add 27 to both sides. You will get the same answer.)

This inequality is invalid. There are no values of k that make the inequality true.
