The number of terms in the given arithmetic sequence is n = 10. Using the given first, last term, and the common difference of the arithmetic sequence, the required value is calculated.

<h3>What is the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?</h3>

The general form of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

Where,

a1 - first term

n - number of terms in the sequence

d - the common difference

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

First term a1 = 1\frac{1}{2} = 3/2

Last term an = 2\frac{1}{2} = 5/2

Common difference d = 1/9

From the general formula,

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

On substituting,

5/2 = 3/2 + (n - 1)1/9

⇒ (n - 1)1/9 = 5/2 - 3/2

⇒ (n - 1)1/9 = 1

⇒ n - 1 = 9

⇒ n = 9 + 1

∴ n = 10

Thus, there are 10 terms in the given arithmetic sequence.

Answer:

The real zeros of f(x) are x = 0.3 and x = -3.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

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

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this problem, we have that:

f(x) = x^{2} + 3x - 1

So

a = 1, b = 3, c = -1

\bigtriangleup = 3^{2} - 4*1*(-1) = 13

x_{1} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{13}}{2*1} = 0.3

x_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{13}}{2*1} = -3.3

The real zeros of f(x) are x = 0.3 and x = -3.3.

Answer:

I’m assuming it’s $13.50 anyway the answer is 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So subtract $1.50 from 13.50 you are left with $12 then divide that by $0.6 and you should get 20 as your answer
