Answer:

S₁₅ = 127.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of an arithmetic progression is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

given a₃ = 1 and a₇ = 7 , then

a₁ + 2d = 1 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 7 → (2)

subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

0 + 4d = 6

4d = 6 ( divide both sides by 4 )

d = 1.5

substitute d = 1.5 into (1) and solve for a₁

a₁ + 2(1.5) = 1

a₁ + 3 = 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

a₁ = - 2

the sum to n terms of an arithmetic progression is

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

with a₁ = - 2 and d = 1.5 , then

S₁₅ = \frac{15}{2} [ (2 × - 2) + (14 × 1.5) ]

     = 7.5(- 4 + 21)

     = 7.5 × 17

     = 127.5

write the possible range of the measurement 214 ounces +1.2% round to the nearest hundredth if necessary
boyakko [2]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  [211.43,216.57]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.2% of 214 is ...

 0.012 × 214 = 2.568 ≈ 2.57 . . . . rounded to hundredths

Then the minimum possible value is ...

  214 -2.57 = 211.43

and the maximum possible value is ...

  214 +2.57 = 216.57

The range is 211.43 to 216.57.

1) How much money will you have in an account after 5 years if you invest $1,200 at 2.5%
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

$ 1,350

Step-by-step explanation:

i = (prt) / 100

p = $ 1,200 r = 2.5% t = 5 years

i = (1,200 x 2.5 x 5) / 100

i = $ 150

amount = p + i

= 150 + 1,200

= $ 1,350

Which property explains why these two expressions are equal?
ratelena [41]
Re-written, I believe the equation is:

(W+23)+5=W+(23+5)

With this, the parenthesis have nothing multiplying into it, so we can drop the parenthesis to get:

W+23+5=W+23+5
Which is the same thing.

So I'd assume it is the Associative property, because you are combining the like terms of 23 and 5.

Hope this helps!
