Let $a_1$, $a_2$, . . . , $a_{10}$ be an arithmetic sequence. if $a_1 + a_3 + a_5 + a_7 + a_9 = 17$ and $a_2 + a_4 + a_6 + a_8 + a_{10} = 15$, what is the value of $a_1$?
giving brainliest>
Because [tex]a_1[/tex] through [tex]a_{10}[/tex] are in arithmetic progression, there is some fixed number [tex]d[/tex] between consecutive terms. This means we have
[tex]a_2 = a_1 + d[/tex]
[tex]a_3 = a_2 + d = a_1 + 2d[/tex]
[tex]a_4 = a_3 + d = a_1 + 3d[/tex]
and so on, with the general [tex]n[/tex]-th term
[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n-1) d[/tex]
Then we can write each given equation in terms of [tex]a_1[/tex] and [tex]d[/tex] :
[tex]a_1 + a_3 + a_5 + a_7 + a_9 = 17[/tex]
[tex]\implies a_1 + (a_1+2d) + (a_1+4d) + (a_1 + 6d) + (a_1 + 8d) = 17[/tex]
[tex]\implies 5a_1 + 20d = 17[/tex]
and
[tex]a_2 + a_4 + a_6 + a_8 + a_{10} = 15[/tex]
[tex]\implies (a_1+d) + (a_1+3d) + (a_1+5d) + (a_1+7d) + (a_1+9d) = 15[/tex]
[tex]\implies 5a_1+25d= 15[/tex]
Eliminate [tex]d[/tex] and solve for [tex]a_1[/tex] :
[tex]5 (5a_1 + 20d) - 4 (5a_1 + 25d) = 5\times17-4\times15[/tex]
[tex]\implies 5a_1 = 25[/tex]
[tex]\implies \boxed{a_1 = 5}[/tex]

What is the value of x?
Answer:
130° is the correct value of x.Step-by-step explanation:
In the question, there's an quadrilateral whose sum of all exterior angle is 360°.
140° + 34° + 56° + x = 360°
➝ 230° + x = 360°
➝ x = 360° - 230°
➝ x = 130°
Thus, The value of x is 130°.

6x² + 5x6 = 0
Answer:
x = 0.7401 ± 0.7401i, x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(6 • (x^2)) + 5x^6 = 0
(2•3x^2) + 5x^6 = 0
5x^6 + 6x^2 = x^2 • (5x^4 + 6)
x^2 • (5x^4 + 6) = 0
x^4 = -6/5 = -1.200
x = ∜ -6/5
⇒ Proven by the equations, there are no real solutions, so we can use imaginary i, or zero as our answer.
→ x = 0
→ x = 0.7401 ± 0.7401i

O 42x+6 - 42
O 4X+3 - 46
Answer:
Answer is 2^2x+6=2^6 since it is equivalent to 4^x+3=64
The equivalent equation of [tex]4^x^+^3=64[/tex] is [tex]2^6^x^+^6=2^6[/tex], option B is correct.
The given equation is [tex]4^x^+^3=64[/tex]
Four to the power of x plus three equal to sixty four
x is the variable in the equation
We have to find the equivalent equation
We know that 2×2×2× 2×2×2 , 2⁶=64
[tex]4^x^+^3=2^6[/tex]
Now [tex](2^2)^x^+^3=2^6[/tex]
[tex]2^6^x^+^6=2^6[/tex]
Hence, the equivalent equation of [tex]4^x^+^3=64[/tex] is [tex]2^6^x^+^6=2^6[/tex], option B is correct.

Find the midpoint M between V(3,7,-6) and W(-4,-8,7). Put your answer in the form (x,y,z)
Answer:
M(-1/2, -1/2, 1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the midpoint of a line segment, average the coordinates of the end points.
M = (A +B)/2
__
M = (V +W)/2
M = ((3, 7, -6) +(-4, -8, 7))/2 = (3-4, 7-8, -6+7)/2 = (-1, -1, 1)/2
M = (-1/2, -1/2, 1/2)
The midpoint between V and W is M(-1/2, -1/2, 1/2).
two boys decided to buy a computer. The second boy had 5/6 of the amount of money the first had. The first boy had 7/8 of the price of the computer. Together they had $696 more than they needed to pay. What was the price of the computer
Answer:
1152$
Step-by-step explanation:
b1 = 7/8 C
b2 = 5/6 b1 = 35/ 48 C
7/8 C + 35/48 C = C + 696
42/48 C + 35/48 C = 48/48 C + 696 * 48/48
(42 + 35 - 48 ) C = 696 * 48
29 C = 33408
C =1152.

1)The two-way table shows the results of a survey where students were asked if they were currently in elementary or middle school and if they owned a smartphone.
Of the middle school students, what is the relative frequency of those who own a smartphone? (round to the nearest percent)
2)Which of the following can you conclude from the two-way table?
A) Middle school and elementary school students are equally likely to own a smartphone.
B) An elementary school student is more likely to own a smartphone than a middle school student.
C) A middle school student is more likely to own a smartphone than an elementary school student.
D)There is no association between the student's school and owning a smartphone.
1)The relative frequency of those who own a smartphone will be 45%.
2)A middle school student is more likely to own a smartphone than an elementary school student. Option C is correct.
What is the formula for calculating the joint relative frequency?Assume you need to compute the joint relative frequency of a certain category inside a larger category.
Then there's the proportion of that specific category's frequency to the total frequency of that large category.
Given data;
The total number of persons polled:
⇒216 (26 + 84 + 72 + 34)
⇒216
The number of persons who own a smartphone is calculated as follows:
⇒26 + 72
⇒98
The relative frequency of those who own a smartphone is calculated as;
[tex]\rightarrow\frac{98}{216} \times 100 \\\\ \rightarrow45 \%[/tex]
Hence,the relative frequency of those who own a smartphone will be 45%
2)A middle school student is more likely to own a smartphone than an elementary school student. Because the total of the middle school is more than the elementary school.
Hence,option C is correct.

Giving Brainlist Please Help!!!! Find the perimeter of the rhombus. Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Answer:
Choice D, 20 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythaogorean theorem tells us that the hypotenuse of a triangle, c, can be found by taking: c = [tex]\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2}}[/tex]. In this case, a = 3 and b = 4. So:
c = [tex]\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2} }[/tex]
c = [tex]\sqrt{3^{2} + 4^{2} }[/tex]
c = [tex]\sqrt{9 + 16}[/tex]
c = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex]
c = 5

4 x side length4 x 5 in20 inChelsea is making a kite in the shape of a triangle. To determine if the triangle is a right triangle, Chelsea completed the following steps.
Step 1:
Find the side lengths of the triangle: 30 inches, 24 inches, 18 inches.
Step 2:
Substitute the values into the Pythagorean theorem: 18 squared + 24 squared = 30 squared.
Step 3:
Combine like terms: (18 + 24) squared = 30 squared.
Step 4:
Evaluate each side: 1764 not-equals 900.
Chelsea says the triangle is not a right triangle. Which best describes the accuracy of her explanation?
She made a mistake on step 3
The [tex]18^2+24^2[/tex] is not the same as [tex](18+24)^2[/tex]
This is what her steps should look like
[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\18^2 + 24^2 = 30^2\\\\324 + 576 = 900\\\\900 = 900\\\\[/tex]
Since we get the same number on both sides, this means the last equation is true. This means the first equation is also true. Therefore, she does have a right triangle. Refer to the converse of the pythagorean theorem for more info.

State if the three numbers can be the measures of the sides of a triangle. 11, 3, 8
we have three sides, let's look at the two smaller sides first.
check the picture below atop.
if we move the sides closer and ever closer to each other, to the extent that one is right on top of the other, what is the length of the red side? Well, assuming the two smaller sides are one pancaked on top of the other, the red side will be as long as 8 - 3 = 5. However, the sides can't be on top of each other, because if that's so, we have a flat-line, and thus we wouldn't have a triangle. So whatever the third side may be, it must be greater than 5.
check the picture below at the bottom
Now, if we move the sides away from each other, farther and farther to the extent that one is parallel to the other, then the third side will just be as long as 3 + 8 = 11. However, we can't do that, because if that were to happen, we again will have a flat-line and not a triangle. So whatever the third side may be, it must be less than 11.
so the third side being 11 is a no dice.

The value of mMNWe can see MN is intercepted by the angle MPN.
Inscribed angle is half the measure of intercepted arc
m∠MPN = 1/2mMN ⇒ mMN = 2 × m∠MPN = 2 × 35° = 70°The answer is mMN = 70°
