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

A student currently is averaging 65.0% of the points in lecture (worth 60% of total grade) and has a 75.0% in lab (worth 40% of
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

69

Step-by-step explanation:

If she is averaging 65% of the worth of lectures.

the lectures she had was supposedly rated out of 60. Therefore, the 65% will be 65% of 60(total grade)

0.65 * 60 = 39

On the second part, if we apply the same method, we have

0.75 * 40 = 30

All we have to do on add both together

39 + 30 = 69.

therefore, get total grade in the course is 69

A scuba diver descends in the water at a rate of 23 1/2
Makovka662 [10]

The scuba diver's position relative to sea level after the 4.6 minutes is 5.1 ft.

Given:

A scuba diver descends in the water at a rate of 23 1/2  feet per minute for 2.6 minutes.

A scuba diver ascends at a rate of 28 feet per minute for 2 minutes after seeing a big fish.

To find :

The scuba diver's position relative to sea level after the 4.6 minutes.

Solution:

Rate of a scuba diver descending in the water for 2.6 minutes = R _1

R_1= 23\frac{1}{2}ft/min=\frac{47}{2} ft/min

Distance covered by a scuba diver in 2.6 minutes = d_1

d_1=R_1\times 2.6min=\frac{47}{2} ft/min\times 2.6 min=61.1 ft

Rate of a scuba diver ascending for 2 minutes = R _2

R_2= 28ft/min

Distance covered by a scuba diver in 2 minutes = d_2

d_2=R_2\times 2min=28 ft/min\times 2 =56 ft

The position of scuba diver after 4.6 minutes relative to sea level:

d_1-d_2=61.1 ft-56 ft=5.1ft

The scuba diver's position relative to sea level after the 4.6 minutes is 5.1ft.
