The 12th term of the arithmetic sequence is 10.5. The 18th term of this sequence is 13.5. Find the common difference and the first term.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Common difference = 0.5

First term = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

the 12th term a12 = a1 + d(12-1)   where a1 = first term and d = the common difference.

So a1 + 11d = 10.5 ....(A)    Similarly:

a1 + 17d = 13.5....(B)

Subtracting equations:

(B) - (A) :-

6d = 13.5 - 10.5 = 3

d = 3/6 = 0.5

From equation (A):

a1 + 11(0.5) = 10.5

a1 = 10.5 -5.5 = 5.

You expect to have $1000 in one year. A bank is offering loans at 6% interest per year.How much can you borrow today

Answers

Answer:

$943.39622

Step-by-step explanation:

A = final amount, = 1000

Interest, r = 6% = 0.06

Time, t = 1

Principal, P = amount you can borrow today

Using the simple interest formula :

A = P(1 + rt)

1000 = P(1 + 0.06*1)

1000 = P(1 + 0.06)

1000 = P(1.06)

P = 1000 / 1.06

P = 943.39622

What is the equation of the graph?

Answers

Answer:

In the sciences, many times it is necessary to be able to interpret graphs as well as be able to graph certain equations. Often data is available in a graphical format and you must be able to extract the necessary information. Other times, it may be helpful to plot an equation in order to fully understand a problem. However, graphing can be difficult for some students. The format in this section is a little different. The first part will be simply showing what some special equations look like in graphical form and the second part will be a series of questions to help you understand graphs better.

I converting frm base ten to base 2 what do u do?​

Answers

Answer:

See explanation for example.

Step-by-step explanation:

Say we want to convert 567 to binary aka base 2.

Look for highest power of 2 that will go into 567.

2^x will get us close to 567.

You could solve 2^x=567 in take the whole part of the number.

x=log_2 (567)=approximately 9.1

Of course you don't have to use logarithms here. You could have just found 2^0,2^1,...,2^9. You could have kept increasing the power on 2 until you exceeded the number,567, you wanted and use the power of 2 just before that number, 567.

2^9=512

So what's left 567-512=55

2^6=64 so that's too much, so 2^5=32 is what we will go with next.

55-32=23

2^4=16 and now 23-16=7 is left

2^2=4 so 7-4=3 is left

2^1=2 so 3-2=1 is left

2^0=1 and there is nothing left over

So we had 1, 2^9

No 2^8,2^7,2^6

We had 1, 2^5

We had 1, 2^4

We had no 2^3

We had 1, 2^2

We had 1, 2^1

We had 1, 2^0

The binary aka base 2 representation of 567 is 1000110111.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of a graph is displayed as the square root of the two parts of the hypotenuse multiplied together. Over here, the two values are 5 and 15. That means the altitude of the graph is the square root of 5 times 15, which means the altitude of the bigger triangle is equal to the square root of 75. Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem on the smallest triangle to figure out the value of x. We have:

[tex]5^2+(\sqrt{75})^2=x^2[/tex]

5 squared is 25 and the square root of 75 squared is 75.

[tex]25+75=x^2[/tex]

Combining like terms:

[tex]100=x^2[/tex]

Taking the square root of both sides:

[tex]10=x[/tex]

The value of x is 10.

the length of a rectangle pools 15m greater than its width. what is the length if the perimeter of the pool is 96m

Answers

Answer:

31.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the pool.

Since the length is 15 m greater than the width, it can be represented by w + 15.

Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in the perimeter, and w + 15 as l into the formula:

p = 2l + 2w

96 = 2(w + 15) + 2w

96 = 2w + 30 + 2w

96 = 4w + 30

66 = 4w

16.5 = w

So, the width of the pool is 16.5 m. Add 15 to this to find the length:

16.5 + 15

= 31.5

The length of the pool is 31.5 m

ANSWER :-

Let the width be w

Length = w + 15

Now

Perimeter = 2(l + w)

96 = 2(w + 15 + w)

96/2 = w + 15 + w

48 = 2w + 15

48 - 15 = 2w

33 = 2w

33/2 = w

16.5 = w

Then,

Length = w + 15

Length = 16.5 + 15

Length = 31.5 m

The diagram shows three points P, Q and R on horizontal ground.
PQ = 50 m, PR = 100 m and angie PQR = 140°.
Calculate angle PRO.

Answers

Answer:

m<PQR = 18.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Law of Sines,

[tex] \frac{Sin A}{a} = \frac{Sin B}{b} [/tex]

Where,

Sin A = Sin 140

a = 100 m

Sin B = Sin R (<PRQ)

b = 50 m

Substitute

[tex] \frac{Sin 140}{100} = \frac{Sin R}{50} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex] 100*Sin(R) = 50*Sin(140) [/tex]

Divide both sides by 100

[tex] Sin(R) = \frac{50*Sin(140)}{100} [/tex]

[tex] Sin(R) = 0.32139 [/tex]

[tex] R = Sin^{-1}(0.32139) [/tex]

R ≈ 18.7° (nearest tenth)

m<PQR = 18.7°

The angle PRO is 1.7 degrees.

Given that,

The diagram shows three points P, Q, and R on horizontal ground.

PQ = 50 m, PR = 100 m and angle PQR = 140°.

We have to determine,

The angle PRO.

According to the question,

The value of angle PRO is determined by using the sin rule-following all the steps given below.

[tex]\rm \dfrac{sina}{a} = \dfrac{sinb}{b}[/tex]

Where,  Sin A = Sin 140 , a = 100 m , Sin B = Sin R (<PRQ) , b = 50 m

Substitute all the values in the formula,

[tex]\rm \dfrac{sin140}{100} = \dfrac{sinR}{50}\\\\ \dfrac{0.64}{100} = \dfrac{sinR}{50}\\\\0.0064 = \dfrac{sinR}{50}\\\\0.0064 \times 50 = sinR\\\\0.321 = sinR\\\\R = sin{-1}(0.321)\\\\R = 18.7 \ degree[/tex]

Hence, The angle PRO is 1.7 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

7^2+2ab - 4b^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A² + b² = 7b

b² + (2b-a) ²= 7²

FOIL

b^2 +4b^2-4ba+a^2= 7^2

Rewriting

a^2 -2ab + b^2    +4b^2 -2ab = 7^2

Add 2ab and subtract 4b^2 from each side

a^2 -2ab + b^2    +4b^2 - 4b^2 -2ab+2ab = 7^2+2ab - 4b^2

a^2 -2ab + b^2    = 7^2+2ab - 4b^2

Two tangents drawn to a circle from a point outside it, are equal in length.prove it.

Answers

Given: A circle with centre O; PA and PB are two tangents to the circle drawn from an external point P.
To prove: PA = PB
Construction: Join OA, OB, and OP.
It is known that a tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
OA⊥PA
OB⊥PB
In △OPA and △OPB
∠OPA=∠OPB (Using (1))
OA=OB (Radii of the same circle)
OP=OP (Common side)
Therefor △OPA≅△OPB (RHS congruency criterion)
PA=PB
(Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal)
Thus, it is proved that the lengths of the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
The length of tangents drawn from any external point are equal.
