Squaring both sides of the given equation: w^2=7w, or w^2-7w=0.
w^2-7w=0 can be factored: w(w-7)=0. Then, w=7 or w=0. Both 0 and 7 are solutions of this equation.
In an arithmetic sequence:
Tn=t₁+(n-1)d
t₄=t₁+(4-1)d=t₁+3d
t₅=t₁+(5-1)d=t₁+4d
t₆=t₁+(6-1)d=t₁+5d
t₄+t₅+t₆=(t₁+3d) +(t₁+4d)+(t₁+5d)=3t₁+12d
Therefore:
3t₁+12d=300 (1)
t₁₅=t₁+(15-1)d=t₁+14d
t₁₆=t₁+(16-1)d=t₁+15d
t₁₇=t₁+(17-1)d=t₁+16d
t₁₅+t₁₆+t₁₇=(t₁+14d)+(t₁+15d)+(t₁+16d)=3t₁+45d
Therefore:
3t₁+45d=201 (2)
With the equations (1) and (2) we make an system of equations:
3t₁+12d=300
3t₁+45d=201
we can solve this system of equations by reduction method.
3t₁+12d=300
-(3t₁+45d=201)
-----------------------------
-33d=99 ⇒d=99/-33=-3
3t₁+12d=300
3t₁+12(-3)=300
3t₁-36=300
3t₁=300+36
3t₁=336
t₁=336/3
t₁=112
Threfore:
Tn=112+(n-1)(-3)
Tn=112-3n+3
Tn=115-3n
Now, we calculate T₁₈:
T₁₈=115-3(18)=115-54=61
Answer: T₁₈=61
Answer: 35 square centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
I think that it is 2 602/1000
Not exactly. there are still 40 percent of the employees that are not top performers. for all you know those 40 percent could make up the majority of the employees in the training program<span />
