Which calculation should be used to calculate s9 for the arithmetic sequence an=3n-1

Mathematics

Ganezh [65]3 years ago

Answer: Choice A

S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)

===============================================

The formula is

Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)

where

Sn = sum of the first n terms (nth partial sum)

n = number of terms

a1 = first term

an = nth term

In this case,

n = 9

a1 = 2 (plug in n = 1 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)

an = a9 = 26 (plug n = 9 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)

So,

Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)

S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)

will help us find the sum of the first 9 terms of this arithmetic sequence

A mine elevator was at a depth of -120 feet. After 15 seconds, the mine elevator was at a depth of -30 feet. What expression can
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The answers to the given question are:

i.  The equipment elevator is at a depth of 176 feet (-176 feet), while the miner's elevator is at a depth of 210 feet (-210 feet) below the surface.

ii. The miner's elevator is deeper than that of the equipment.

The speed of an object is the rate at which the object moves.

i.e. speed =

Thus,

Speed of the equipment elevator = 4 feet per second

Speed of the miner's elevator = 15 feet per second.

Time of descent of the equipment elevator = 30 + 14

                                 = 44 seconds

So that, the distance of the elevator at this time is;

speed =

⇒ distance = speed x time

                  = 4 x 44

                  = 176

  distance = - 176 feet

The distance of the miner's elevator after 14 seconds is:

speed =

⇒ distance = speed x time

                 = 15 x 14

                 = 210

 distance = - 210 feet

Thus, after another 14 seconds, the equipment elevator is at a depth of 176 feet (-176 feet), while the miner's elevator is at a depth of 210 feet (-210 feet) below the surface.

Therefore, the miner's elevator is deeper than that of the equipment.

You are designing a ramp where the horizontal distance is twice the vertical rise. what will be the ramp angle to the nearest te
ankoles [38]
Use the definition of tangent

or inv tangent (arctan or atan)

tan(theta) = opposite side/ adjacent side

the vertical rise would be the opposite side, the horozontal distance would be the adjacent side

let rise = y
let distance= x
x=2y

so tan(theta) = y/2y
tan(theta) = 1/2

theta = atan(1/2)
