The sum of the first ten terms of an arithmetic progression consisting of

positive integer terms is equal to the sum of the 20th, 21st and 22nd term.

If the first term is less than 20, find how many terms are required to give

a sum of 960.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]n=13[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sum of the first 10 terms is equal to sum of 20, 21, and 22 term

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{10}{2}[2a+(10-1)d]=[a+19d]+[a+20d]+[a+21d]\\\\\Rightarrow 5[2a+9d]=3a+60d\\\Rightarrow 10a+45d=3a+60d\\\Rightarrow 7a=15d[/tex]

No of terms to give a sum of 960

[tex]\Rightarrow 960=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\\\\\Rightarrow 1920=n[2a+(n-1)\cdot \dfrac{7}{15}a]\\\\\Rightarrow 28,800=n[30a+7a(n-1)]\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{28,800}{n[30+7n-7]}\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{28,800}{n[23+7n]}[/tex]

Value of first term is less than 20

[tex]\therefore \dfrac{28,800}{n[23+7n]}<20\\\\\Rightarrow 28,800<20n[23+7n]\\\Rightarrow 0<460n+140n^2-28,800\\\Rightarrow 140n^2+460n-28,800>0\\\\\Rightarrow n>12.79\\\\\text{For integer value }\\\Rightarrow n=13[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

In the previous answer halfway through they used the equation: 960 = (n÷2)×(2a+(n-1)×(7a÷15))

Using this equation we can substitute an number to replace n, the higher the number is the smaller a would be.

When we substitute 15 into a, then it leaves us with the answer to be a = 15 which is a positive integer and also is smaller than 20, this then let’s us know that 15 is how many terms can be summed up to make 960.

To double check this answer you can find that d = 7 by changing the a into 15 in the formula 7a/15 (found in the previous answer.

Then in the expression: (n÷2)×(2a+(n-1)×d)

substitute:

n = 14 (must be an even number for the equation to work)

a = 15

d = 7

This will give you an answer of 847, but this is only 14 terms as we changed n into 14. To add the final term you need to complete the following equation: 847+(a+(n-1)×d)

substituting:

n = 15

a = 15

d = 7

This will give you the answer of 960, again proving that it takes 15 terms to sum together to make the number 960.

I hope this has helped you.

P.S. Everything in the previous solution was right apart from the start of the last section and the answer

A football team has a probability of 0.76 of winning when playing any of the other four teams in its conference. If the games are independent, what is the probability the team wins all its conference games

Answers

Answer:

0.33362176

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcomes to the number of total outcomes.

Given that a football team has a probability of 0.76 of winning when playing any of the other four teams in its conference, the probability that the team wins all its conference games

= 0.76 * 0.76 * 0.76 * 0.76

= 0.33362176

This is the probability that the teams wins the 4 matches played against the other teams in the conference.

Which of the following represents the factorization of the trinomial below?
- 4x3 - 4x2 +24 x
O A. -4(x2-2)(x+3)
B. -4(x2 + 2)(x+3)
O C. -4x(x + 2)(x+3)
D. -4x(x - 2)(x+3)

Answers

Answer:

D. -4x(x - 2)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following trinomial:

[tex]-4x^3 - 4x^2 + 24x[/tex]

-4x is the common term, so:

[tex]-4x(\frac{-4x^3}{-4x} - \frac{4x^2}{-4x^3} + \frac{24x}{-4x}) = -4x(x^2+x-6)[/tex]

The second degree polynomial can also be factored, finding it's roots.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]

x² + x - 6

Quadratic equation with [tex]a = 1, b = 1, c = -6[/tex]

So

[tex]\Delta = 1^{2} - 4(1)(-6) = 25[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{25}}{2} = 2[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-1 - \sqrt{25}}{2} = -3[/tex]

So

[tex]x^2 + x - 6 = (x - 2)(x - (-3)) = (x - 2)(x + 3)[/tex]

The complete factorization is:

[tex]-4x(x^2+x-6) = -4x(x - 2)(x + 3)[/tex]

Thus the correct answer is given by option d.

What are the similar triangles?

Similar triangles are the triangles that have the same shape, but different sizes. The corresponding angles are congruent and the sides are in proportion.

What is the ratio of any two corresponding sides of similar triangles?

The ratio of any corresponding sides in two equiangular triangles is always the same.

Let's visualize the situation according to the given question.

AB is the building ,whose height is 51f

BC is the shadow of the building AB, whose length is 48ft.

QR is the shadow of the tower statue, whose length is 16feet.

Let the height of the statue PR be h feet.

In triangle ACB and triangle PRQ

∠ACB = ∠PRQ = 90 degrees  

( the objects and shadows are perpendicular to each other)

∠BAC = ∠QPR

( sunray falls on the pole and tower at the same angle, at the same time )

ΔACB similar to ΔPRQ   ( AA criterion)

Therefore, the ratio of any two corresponding sides in equiangular triangles is always same.

⇒ AC/CB = PR/RQ

⇒[tex]\frac{51}{48} =\frac{h}{16}[/tex]

⇒ h = [tex]\frac{(51)(16)}{48}[/tex]

⇒ h = 17 feet.

Hence, the statute is 17 feet tall.

It can be shown that the line with intercepts (a, 0) and (0, b) has the following equation:
x/a + y/b= 1, a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0.

Use this result to write an equation of the line.

(−2, 4)

x-intercept: (a, 0)

y-intercept: (0, a)

(a ≠ 0)

Answers

The equation of the straight line is [tex]x+y=2[/tex].

Given:

The line with intercepts (a,0) and (0,b) has the equation [tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} =1, a\neq 0, b\neq 0[/tex] Point on the line: (-2, 4)x-intercept: (a, 0)y-intercept: (0, a)[tex]a\neq 0[/tex]

To find: The equation of this line

It is given that a line with intercepts (a,0) and (0,b) has the equation [tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} =1, a\neq 0, b\neq 0[/tex]

Now, it is given that the referred line has intercepts (a, 0) and (0, a). Then, using the above statement, the equation of this line can be written as,

[tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{a}=1[/tex]. It is already given that [tex]a\neq 0[/tex]. So, we need not mention it again.

It is also given that the point (-2, 4) lies on this line. Then, the coordinates of this point must satisfy the equation of the line.

This implies that,

[tex]\frac{-2}{a} +\frac{4}{a} =1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{a} =1[/tex]

[tex]a=2[/tex]

Now, put [tex]a=2[/tex] in the equation of the line, [tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{a}=1[/tex] to get,

[tex]\frac{x}{2} +\frac{y}{2} =1[/tex]

[tex]x+y=2[/tex]

Find y when x = 4 (30 points)

Answers

Answer:

y = 54/25

Step-by-step explanation:

y = p×q^(x-1)

when x = 1 then y = 10

so,

10 = p×q^(1-1)

or, 10 = p×1

or, p = 10

when x = 6 then y = 0.7776

0.7776=p×q^(6-1)

or, 0.7776=p×q^5

or, 0.7776=10×q⁵

[0.7776 = 7776/10000 = 486/625]

or, 486/625 = 10×q⁵

or, 486/6250=q⁵

or, [tex] \frac{ \sqrt[5]{486} }{ \sqrt[5]{6250} } = q[/tex]

or, [tex]q = \frac{3 \sqrt[5]{2} }{5 \sqrt[5]{2} } [/tex]

or, q = 3/5

so, when x = 4

y = p×q^(x-1)

y = 10×(3/5)^(4-1)

y = 10×(3/5)^3

y = 10×27/125

y = 54/25

Kara ate 2 7/9 of the raisins she packed. Which box shows the decimal equivalent of the amount of raisins she ate? Box A: 2.777 etc Box B: 2.79 Box C: 2.999 etc.

Answers

Answer:  Box A, 2.777

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

Explanation:

When using a calculator or long division, you should find that

7/9 = 0.7777...

where the 7s go on forever

So we can say that 7/9 = 0.777 approximately. You could argue that the last '7' would round up to an '8' and we could say 7/9 = 0.778; however, I'll stick to the first value so that it matches with the answer.

Since 7/9 = 0.777, this means 2 & 7/9 = 2 + 7/9 = 2 + 0.777 = 2.777 which is box A.
