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

Answer:

The actual length of the lion enclosure is 181.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An artist makes a scale drawing of a new lion enclosure at the zoo.

The scale is 1 in : 25 ft.

On the drawing, the length of the enclosure is 7.25 inches.

Now, to find the actual length of the lion enclosure in feet.

Let the actual length of the lion enclosure in feet be $x.$

As given the scale is 1 in : 25 ft.

So, 1 in is equivalent to 25 ft.

Thus, 7.25 inches is equivalent to $x.$

Now, to get the actual length of the lion enclosure by using cross multiplication method:

$\frac{1}{25} =\frac{7.25}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$x=181.25\ feet.$

Therefore, the actual length of the lion enclosure is 181.25 feet.

3x^3-24x^2 factor completley

svetoff [14.1K]

3x^3-24x^2=> this is the expression, find what they have in common: 3 and x^2
3x^2(x-8)=> so we took out 3x^2

I hope this helps you:)!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem use 3.14 for , and any non-integer answers should be entered as decimals rounded to the hundredths place. Lannon is designing a carnival game for a school event. She has a large wooden square and she needs to cut out a circle from the middle. The circumference of the circle that she plans to cut out is 56.52 inches. What is the radius

The formula for circumference of a circle = 2πr

Circumference = 56.52 inches

r = Circumference/2π

r = 56.52/2π
