The sum of the first 20 terms of an arithmetic sequence with the 18th term of 8.1 and a common difference of 0.25 is 124.5

Given,

18th term of an arithmetic sequence = 8.1

Common difference = d = 0.25.

<h3>What is an arithmetic sequence?</h3>

The sequence in which the difference between the consecutive term is constant.

The nth term is denoted by:

a_n = a + ( n - 1 ) d

The sum of an arithmetic sequence:

S_n = n/2 [ 2a + ( n - 1 ) d ]

Find the 18th term of the sequence.

18th term = 8.1

d = 0.25

8.1 = a + ( 18 - 1 ) 0.25

8.1 = a + 17 x 0.25

8.1 = a + 4.25

a = 8.1 - 4.25

a = 3.85

Find the sum of 20 terms.

S_20 = 20 / 2 [ 2 x 3.85 + ( 20 - 1 ) 0.25 ]

         = 10 [ 7.7 + 19 x 0.25 ]

         = 10 [ 7.7 + 4.75 ]

         = 10 x 12.45

         = 124.5

Thus the sum of the first 20 terms of an arithmetic sequence with the 18th term of 8.1 and a common difference of 0.25 is 124.5

Answer:

A. <u>4</u> trucks will make $80 because 4 × 20 = 80, so they need to wash <u>38</u> cars to make the other $380 because 38 × 10 = 380.

($80 + $380 = $460)

B. <u>15</u> trucks will make $300 because

15 × 20 = 300, so they need to wash <u>16</u> cars to make the other $160 because 16 × 10 = 160. ($300 + $160 = $460)

C. <u>21</u> trucks will make $420 because

21 × 20 = 420, so they need to wash <u>4</u> cars to make the other $40 because 4 × 10 = 40.

($420 + $40 = $460)

D. <u>27</u> trucks will make $540, so they won't have to wash any cars because they would have already exceeded their goal of $460.

Not sure what to do for letter E. Sorry. I hope the rest makes sense though :)

Which equation demonstrates the additive identity property?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

The additive identity property states that for every number a, you have

a+0=a

You're showing this property when you write

(7+4i)+0=7+4i
