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

Use the point (-6,-8) to give the six trigonometric functions
vfiekz [6]
You can't exactly get the trigonometric functions using a point unless it's a vector,

so tanx = -8/-6 = 4/3 and from it we can get the other functions

sinx = -4/5
cosx = -3/5
secx = -5/3
cscx = -5/4
cotx = 3/4

What is the area of a sector in a circle of radius 8cm,if the angle between the radii is 30°
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

16.75 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area  \: of  \: sector  =  \frac{ \theta}{360 \degree}  \times \pi {r}^{2}  \\  \\  =  \frac{30 \degree}{360 \degree}  \times 3.14 \times  {8}^{2}  \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{12}  \times 3.14 \times 64 \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{3}  \times 3.14 \times 16 \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{3}  \times 50.24 \\  \\  = 16.7466667 \\  \\Area  \: of  \: sector  = 16.75 \:  {cm}^{2}

Sarah has a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters worth $28.75. She has 10 more dimes than nickels and twice as many quarte
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for each statement:

:

"Sarah has a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters worth $15.75."

.05n + .1d + .25q = 15.75

:

"She has 10 more dimes than nickels"

d = n + 10

:

"twice as many quarters as dimes."

q = 2d

:

How many coins of each kind does she have?

:

Take the 2nd equation and arrange it so n is in terms of d also

n + 10 = d

n = (d - 10)

:

In the 1st equation substitute (d-10) for n and 2d for q:

.05n + .1d + .25q = 15.75

:

.05(d-10) + .1d + .25(2d) = 15.75

:

.05d - .5 + .1d + .5d = 15.75

:

.65d - .5 = 15.75

:

.65d = 15.75 + .5

:

.65d = 16.25

:

d = 16.25/.65

:

d = 25 dimes

:

Remember the statement "twice as many quarters as dimes."

q = 2(25)

q = 50 quarters

:

The statement "She has 10 more dimes than nickels"

n = 25 - 10

n - 15 nickels

:

Check our solutions

.05(15) + .1(25) + .25(50) =

.75 + 2.50 + 12.50 = 15.75 proves our solutions
