The rates of each cyclist are 17mi/h and 20mi/h

What is rate?

Rate is a ratio that compares two different quantities which have different units.

In this comparison, one unit is taken to be a standard unit in which the other is compared with.

Analysis:

Let the speeds of both cyclists be x,  x+3

distance travelled by x cyclist = 2x

distance travelled by (x+3) cyclist = 2(x+3)

Total distance = 2x + 2(x+3) = 74 miles

2x +2x +6 = 74

4x + 6 = 74

4x = 74 - 6

4x = 68

x = 68/4 = 17mi/h

The other cyclist speed is x +3 = 17 +3 = 20mi/h

If the nth term of an A.P. is 3n+2, find the sum of first 'n terms of that AP.​
alexdok [17]

Answer:

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (3n + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We require to find the first term a₁ and the common difference d

The n th term is given by 3n + 2, thus

a₁ = 3(1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

a₂ = 3(2) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8

d = 8 - 5 = 3

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ], substitute values

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ (2 × 5) + 3(n - 1) ] = \frac{n}{2} (10 + 3n - 3) = \frac{n}{2} (3n + 7)
