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)

Wyatt uses 3.15 cups of flour in a recipe that makes 9 shortcakes. Cora uses 2.4 cups of flour in a recipe that makes 8 shortcak
dalvyx [7]
For Wyatt's recipe the rate is:
 r1 = 3.15 / 9
 r1 = 0.35
 For Cora's recipe the rate is:
 r2 = 2.4 / 8
 r2 = 0.3
 The difference between both recipes is:
 r1-r2 = 0.35 - 0.3 = 0.05
 Answer:
 
0.05 cups of flour per shortcake less is needed for Cora's recipe

Find the area of the following geometric figure
romanna [79]

The area of the triangle is 90 m²

Explanation:

Given that the base of the triangle is 15 m

The altitude of the triangle is 12 m

<u>Area of the triangle:</u>

The area of the triangle can be determined using the formula,

Area=\frac{1}{2}bh

where b is the base and h is the altitude

Thus, we have,

b=15 and h=12

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,

Area=\frac{1}{2}(15)(12)

Multiplying the terms, we get,

Area=\frac{180}{2}

Dividing, we get,

Area=90 \ m^2

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 90 m²

I need help with the problem PLS help
Tanzania [10]


1) It's best to draw out a picture of a rectangle and label each corner with the coordinates given: Let's say (-5, 2) is point A, (-5, -2 1/3) is point B, (2 1/2, 2) is point C, and (2 1/2, -2 1/3) is point D.

2) That being said, line AB is one side of the rectangle, BC is another, CD is another, and lastly, AD is the fourth side.

3) We can use the distance formula and plug in the coordinates of each line to find how long every side is. Then you just need to solve it.

For example: if I want to find how long side AB is, I would use the point A (-5, 2) and B (2 1/2, 2) and plug them into the distance formula, where (-5, 2) is (x1, x2) and (2 1/2, 2) is (x2, y2) and solve that.

4) Repeat this process with side BC, CD, and AD, and add the results together. This will be your final answer; the perimeter of the rectangle.
