The sum of the first three terms of a sequence is 6 and the fourth term is 16

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

              a₁ = -5, d = 7,  a₂ = 2, a₃ = 9, a₄ = 16

equation of sequence:    [tex]\boxed{\bold{a_n=7n-12}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ + a₂ + a₃ = 6    

a₁ + a₁ + d + a₁ + 2d = 6

3a₁ + 3d = 6

a₁ + d= 2     ⇒ a₁ = 2 - d

a₄ = 16

a₁ + 3d = 16

2 - r + 3d = 16

2d = 14

d = 7

a₁ = 2-7 = -5

a₁ = -5, d = 7   ⇒  a₂ = -5+7 = 2, a₃ = 2+7 = 9, a₄ = 9+7 = 16

equation of arithmetic sequence:

[tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=-5+7(n-1)\\\\\underline{a_n=7n-12}[/tex]

Answer:

k=45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of the measures are 180 and the measures are 45 degrees, k degrees, and 2k degrees, we can conclude that [tex]45+2k+k=180[/tex]. 2k and k are like terms, so you can add 2k and k to get 3k.Then, you would have  [tex]45+3k=180[/tex]. Since you are finding k, you want to isolate k as best you can. To do this, you subtract 45 on both sides [tex]45-45+3k=180 -45 \\3k=135[/tex] as shown by the equation, 180-45 is 135. Then, you divide 3 on both sides to get k=45.

A boat travels upstream on the Mississippi river for 3.5 hours. The return trip only takes 2.5 hours because the boat travels 2 miles per hour faster downstream due to the current. How far does the boat travel upstream? Which is the best equation to use?

Answers

Answer:

17.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat travels upstream on a Mississippi river for 3.5 hours

The return trip takes 2.5 hours

The boat travels 2 miles per hour faster downstream

Let y represent the speed that was travelled upsteam

3.5y = 2.5(y + 2)

3.5y = 2.5y + 5

3.5y - 2.5y = 5

y = 5

Therefore the distance travelled by the boat upstream can be calculated as follows

= 3.5 × 5

= 17.5 miles per hour

Solve for y: y/3=h.

Answer:

1. 30(8.75) + 11t = 400

2. 12.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What is given is you work for 30 hours per week at a gas station for $8.75 an hour. You also work as a landscaper for $11 an hour. You want to a make a total of $400 per week.

30 hours and $8.75 an hour would be equivalent to 30(8.75)

We don’t know how many hours you work as a landscaper but you earn $11 an hour, which is equivalent to 11t

Finally, you want to earn a total of $400 a week, which means the sum equals 400

30(8.75) + 11t = 400

2. 30(8.75) = 262.5

400 - 262.5 = 137.5

137.5 / 11 = 12.5

When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her willas powerless as her two white slender hands would have been.When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under the breath: Free, free, free! The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her.
