Answer:

a21 = -61

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d

-19=a_{1}+(7-1)d

-28=a_{1}+(10-1)d (subtract to eliminate a₁)

9 = -3d

d = -3

-19 = a₁ + (6)(-3)

-1 = a

a21 = -1 + (21 - 1)(-3)

= -61

Answer:

-61 (Answer D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d and first term a(1) is

a(n) = a(1) + d(n - 1)

Therefore, a(7) = -19 = a(1) + d(7 - 1), or a(7) = a(1) + d(6) = -19

and a(10) = a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28, or a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28

Solving the first equation a(1) + d(6) = -19 for a(1) yields a(1) = -19 - 6d.  We substitute this result for a(1) in the second equation:

-19 - 6d + 9d = -28.  Grouping like terms together, we get:

3d = -9, and so d = -3.

Going back to an earlier result:  a(1) = -19 - 6d.

Here, a(1) = -19 - 6(-3), or a(1) = -1.

Then the formula specifically for this case is a(n) = -1 - 3(n - 1)

and so a(21) = -1 - 3(20) = -61 (Answer D)

What is the value of x?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

x = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we combine like terms:

44 + 59 + 74 = 177

The total will have to be 360, so....

177 + x + x + x = 360

or

177 + 3x = 360

360 - 177 = 183

So, 3x = 183

183 / 3 = 61

So, x = 61!

Consider the geometric series S(x)=1+2(x−3)+4(x−3)^2+8(x−3)^3+⋯
sergij07 [2.7K]
Consider the geometric series S(x)=1+2(x−3)+4(x−3)^2+8(x−3)^3+⋯
Giving your answer as an interval, find all values of x for which the series converges.
Now assuming that x is in your interval above, find a simple formula for S(x).

Find an equivalent fraction with the lowest common denominator. <br> 9/10+2/3
mafiozo [28]

Answer: 1-17/30, or 47/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the common denominator. In this case, it’s 30. Multiply the numerators to fit the new denominator. (10•3=30, so 9•3=27, and 2•10=20.)

Your new fractions are 27/30 and 20/30. Now add the numerators.

27+20=47.

Your new fraction is 47/30.

Now check if you can simplify. Since 47 is a prime number, this fraction is in its simplest form. However, it is an improper fraction, so you can simplify it to 1-17/30.
