Lucy is working with a series whose first term is 12 and that is generated by the equation t(n) = −9 + 21n. The sum of her serie s is 3429. How many terms are in her series? *hint: the last term can be written as -9 + 21n if we say there are n terms. You will need to solve a quadratic equation to solve for n.
1 answer:
There are 18 terms are in her series
<h3>What is Arithmetic progression series?</h3>
Arithmetic Progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers in order in which the difference of any two consecutive numbers is a constant value.
Given that: t(n) = −9 + 21n=l
a= 12, Sum = 3429
As, Sum of series =3429
n/2 (a+l) =3429
n/2 (12 +21n-9)= 3429
n/2 (3+21n)=3429
21n² + 3n= 6858
21n² + 3n- 6858=0
7n² + n- 2286=0
For solving for n, get
n= 18 or n= -127/7
Thus, there 18 terms in the series .

Answer:
n = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3(n - 4) = 9
3n - 12 = 9
3n = 9 + 12
3n = 21
n = 21 ÷ 3
n = 7
$4.08 Explanation: That would be a lot of addition, and $4 and 8 cents. Since $1+$2= $3 2 d + 3 q = 95c 95c + 13c = $1.08 $1.08 + $3 = $4.08

Answer:
50 rpm clockwise
Step-by-step explanation:
100/50 × 50/200 × 200/150 × 150/200 = 0.5
In an odd number of gears, the first and last rotate inthe same direction.
100 rpm × 0.5 = 50 rpm
Answer: 50 rpm clockwise
