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

What is 2 times 3 times n times n = 54
kolezko [41]

If I'm reading this correctly, it is 2*3*n*n = 6n^2

6n^2 = 54  Divide by 6

n^2 = 54/6

n^2 =  9      Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt(n^2) = sqrt(9)

n = +/- 3

n = + 3 or n = -3. Both will solve the equation above.

Edit

2 * 3 * n * n

Let n = 3

2 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 6 * 9 = 54

The other value is n = - 2

2 * 3 * n * n

2 * 3 * (-3) * (-3)   A minus times a minus is a plus.

2 * 3 * 9 = 6 * 9 = 54

both + 3 and - 3 for n will give 54.

Pls help question b
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: 44

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 of the slab are grey implies that 4/5 are yellow.

The ratio of grey to yellow is thus given as :

1/5 : 4/5

which is 1 : 4

Therefore , the ratio of grey to yellow is 1: 4

The total ratio = 1 + 4 = 5

To calculate the number of yellow , we use the formula

number of yellow = \frac{ratio of yellow}{total ratio} X  total number of slabs , that is

number of yellow = \frac{4}{5} X 55

number of yellow slab = 44

7 is 1/4 of 28, so 7 is 25% of 28.
The drop from 28 to 7 is a drop of 21.
21 is 3 times 7, so 21 is 3 times 25%.

Answer: It is a 75% decrease.
