The second term of an arithmetic sequence is 24 and the fifth trrm is 3 find the first term and the common difference
1 answer:
Hi there!
∵ 2ᴺᴰ term, a₂ = 24
∴ a + d = 24. --(i)
∵ 5ᵀᴴ term, a₅ = 3.
∴ a + 4d = 3. ---(ii)
Subtracting Eqn. (i) from (ii) :-
(a + 4d) - (a + d) = 3 - 24
a + 4d - a - d = - 21
3d = - 21
d =
d = - 7
∴ Common difference, d = - 7
Substitute d = -7 in eqn. (i) :-
a + d = 24
a + (-7) = 24
a - 7 = 24
a = 24 + 7
a = 31
∴ First term, a = 31
~ Hope it helps!

Given parameters:
Fraction given to charity =
Fraction given to wife =
Unknown:
Fraction given to son and daughter =?
Solution:
Let the total property = x
Fraction given to charity =
Fraction given to wife =
The remaining was given to son and daughter = F
So;
Total property = fraction given to charity + fraction given to wife + fraction given to son and daughter
x =
F = x - ()
F = 0
The son and daughter will not inherit anything
Answer:
The answer to your question is 3. 0
Step-by-step explanation:
For an angle of 180°:
- hypotenuse = 1
- Adjacent side = 1
- Opposite side = 0
Then, sin Ф =
sin 180° =
sin 180° = 0
