Find a4 for the arithmetic series with S4=-36 and a1=9

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastova [34]3 years ago
5 0

ANSWER

The 4th term is -27

EXPLANATION

The sum of the first n-terms of an arithmetic sequence is

S_n= \frac{n}{2} (2a_1+d(n-1))

It was given that,

S_4 =  - 36

a_1 = 9

- 36= \frac{ 4}{2} (2 \times 9+d(4-1))

-36=2(18+3d)

-18=18+3d

-18 - 18 = 3d

3d =  - 36

d =  - 12

The n-term is given by:

a_n=a_1+ (n-1)d

We substitute n=4 to get,

a_4=9+ (4-1)  \times -12

a_4=9+ 3\times -12

a_4=9 - 36

a_4= - 27

Tresset [83]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of one half. If you look at the dots made, take a look at the dot on the y-axis. Then, if you move up one space from that point, and move two spaces to the right of the point, you reach the second dot. This determines the slope which would be written as 1/2x. Then, if you look back to where the line passes through the y axis, you'll see it landed on positive five. This means 5 will be added to the end of the equation. So, y equals the slope plus the y-intercept. y = 1/2x + 5

How do I find these angle measures?
ch4aika [34]
The measure of angle 1 is 75 degrees because it is a corresponding angle with the one given of 75 degrees
the measure of angle 2 is 105 degrees because it forms a supplementary angle with the one next to it that is 75 degrees. (this means they add up to 180 degrees.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a) 84π b) 109.2π

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find this is v=πr^2h/3

r=d/2. so the radius (r) is 6 because you have to divide the diameter (12) by 2. and the height is 7. so, 6^2=36 and 36x7=252.

252/3=84

and because the question is asking for the EXACT value, you need to just put the pi symbol next to it. Final answer for a is 84π

B) you need to find 30% of 84, which is 25.2 and add it to 84, and you will get 109.2! Final answer is 109.2π.
