A brick staircase has a total of 17 steps The bottom step requires 131 bricks. Each successive step requires 5 less bricks than the prior one. How many bricks are required to build the staircase?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 1547 bricks are required to build the staircase.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Number of bricks in the first step, [tex]a_1[/tex] = 131

Number of bricks in the second step, [tex]a_2[/tex] = 131 - 5 = 126

Number of bricks in the third step, [tex]a_3[/tex] = 126 - 5 = 121

Sequence become:

131, 126, 121, .....

These are in arithmetic progression where a = 131 and d (common difference) = -5

To calculate the sum of an AP, we use the formula:

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

where,

n = number of terms = 17

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]S_n=\frac{17}{2}[2(131)+(17-1)(-5)]\\\\S_n=\frac{17\times 182}{2}=1547[/tex]

Hence, 1547 bricks are required to build the staircase.

Given that abcd ~Jklm. Find the value of x, y, and z​

Answers

Answer:

x = 7.2

y = 10

z = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABCD ~ JKLM, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal. Thus:

JK/AB = KL/BC = LM/CD = JM/AD

Substitute

12/x = y/6 = 15/9 = 10/z

✔️Find x:

12/x = 15/9

12/x = 5/3

Cross multiply

x*5 = 3*12

5x = 36

x = 36/5

x = 7.2

✔️Find y:

y/6 = 15/9

y/6 = 5/3

Cross multiply

y*3 = 5*6

3y = 30

y = 30/3

y = 10

✔️Find z:

15/9 = 10/z

5/3 = 10/z

Cross multiply

5*z = 10*3

5z = 30

z = 30/5

z = 6

David has available 240 yards of fencing and wishes to enclose a rectangular area.
(a) Express the area A of the rectangle as a function of the width W of the rectangle.
(b) For what value of W is the area largest?
(c) What is the maximum area?

Answers

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2*width + 2*length

So

240 = 2w + 2l

120 = w + l

l = 120 - w

(a) Area = w*l

Substituting for l:

A = w(120 - w)

A = 120w - w^2

(b)

Finding the derivative:

A = 120w - w^2

A' = 120 - 2w

For a maximum area A' = 0, so:

120 - 2w = 0

2w = 120

w = 60 yards for maximum area.

(c)

Maximum area

= 120*60 - 60^2

= 3600 yd^2.

Shen started to run on a treadmill after setting its timer for 93 minutes. The display says that he has finished 69% of his run. How many minutes have gone by?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

64.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Shen set timer to run=93 minutes

He has finished his run=69%

We have to find total number of minutes have gone by.

69% of 93

=[tex]\frac{69}{100}\times 93[/tex]

By using

a%[tex]=\frac{a}{100}[/tex]

69% of 93=[tex]\frac{6417}{100}[/tex]

69% of 93=64.17 min

69% of 93[tex]\approx 64.2min[/tex]

Hence, 64.2 minutes have gone by.

Answers

Answer:

y = 5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 5, then

y = 5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 10 = - 7

y = 5x - 7 ← equation of line

The sample space,S,of a coin being tossed three times is shown below, where H and T denote the coin landing on heads and tails respectively.​

Answers

Answer: Bottom left corner

=======================================================

Explanation:

There are only four possible outcomes here

A) we get all tails, ie getting 0 headsB) we get exactly one head (the rest tails)C) we get exactly 2 headsD) we get all three heads

Based on this so far, the answer is either the table in the bottom left corner or in the top right corner. It's not possible for X = 4 since we only flipped 3 coins.

The probability of case A happening is 1/8 since we have 1 scenario that's all tails (TTT) out of 8 items in the sample space. Similarly, the probability for case D is the same probability. We only have one HHH out of 8 total items.

The probabilities of cases B and C are the same. Both are 3/8. Note that for case B, we have HTT, THT, TTH which is three occurrences in which we get exactly 1 head. So that explains the 3/8.

Answer:

sin(θ) = (9√97)/97cos(θ) = (-4√97)/97csc(θ) = (√97)/9sec(θ) = (-√97)/4cot(θ) = -4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle is in the 2nd quadrant, where the sine is positive and the cosine is negative.

tan^2(θ) +1 = sec^2(θ) = (-9/4)^2 +1 = 97/16   ⇒   sec = -(1/4)√97

cot(θ) = 1/tan(θ) = -4/9

csc^2(θ) = cot^2(θ) +1 = (-4/9)^2 +1 = 97/81   ⇒   csc = (1/9)√97

sin(θ) = 1/csc(θ) = (9√97)/97

cos(θ) = 1/sec(θ) = (-4√97)/97
