Find the sum of first seventeen numbers of an ap whose 4th and 9th tearm are -15 and -30

Mathematics
1 answer:
Radda [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The sum of first seventeen terms is - 510

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The 4th term of an A.P =  t_4 =  - 15

The 9th term of an A.P =  t_9 =  - 30

For an arithmetic progression

The nth term is given as t_n = a + ( n - 1)×d

Where a is the first term and d is the common difference between numbers

<u>So, For 4th term </u>

t_n = a + ( n - 1)×d

Or, t_4 = a + ( n - 1)×d

- 15 = a + ( 4 - 1)×d

Or, - 15 = a + 3 d            .........1

<u>So, For 9th term </u>

t_n = a + ( n - 1)×d

t_9 = a + ( n - 1)×d

- 30 = a + ( 9 - 1)×d

Or, - 30 = a + 8 d            .........2

Solve eq 1 and 2

( a + 8 d ) - ( a + 3 d ) = - 30 - ( - 15)

or, ( a - a ) + ( 8 d - 3 d ) = - 30 + 15

or, 0 + 5 d = - 15

∴ d = - \frac{15}{5} = - 3

Now, put the value of d in eq 1

I.e - 15 = a + 3 × ( - 3)  

Or. - 15 = a - 9

∴ a = -15 + 9 = - 6

Now The sum of nth term is written as :

s_n = \frac{n}{2} × [ 2 × a + ( n - 1 )×d ]

Where n is the nth term

a is the first term

d is the common difference

So<u> For n = 17th term </u>

s_17 = \frac{17}{2} × [ 2 × ( - 6) + ( 17 - 1 )×( - 3) ]

Or, s_17 = \frac{17}{2} × [ - 12 - 48 ]

Or, s_17 = \frac{17}{2} × ( - 60 )

Or, s_17 = 17 × ( - 30)

∴  s_17 = - 510

Hence The sum of first seventeen terms is - 510  Answer

An equal number of students from two Algebra 1 classes at Bozeman School were randomly selected and asked how many hours per wee
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Largest Median: Same

Largest Range: Castro

Largest IQR: Castro

Step-by-step explanation:

With a box-and-whisker plot, the box represents the upper and lower quartiles, the vertical line inside the box represents the median, and the lines on either side of the box show the high and low of the range.

Largest Median: Medians are the same because the verticle line inside the boxes is at 7 for both

Largest Range: Ms Castro's Class- the lines on either side of the box for Ms Castro go from 1-10 while the other class only goes from 4-10.

Largest IQR (interquartile range) Ms. Castro's class: their IQR goes from 5-8 while the other class only goes from 6-8

3x-24=x+10

Carry over the like terms and put them together. Make the unknowns which are x the subject.

3x-x= 24+10

2x= 34

2x= 34/2

I really need help with this section
Tpy6a [65]

Looks like you did most of it.

The next step would be setting them equal to 105, like the problem suggests.

5z+3x+7x=105

15x=105

x=7

Then we can plug back in to find the numbers.

5*7=35

3*7=21

7*7=49

35+21+49=105

The three numbers are 35, 21, 49.

Hope this helps.

頑張って!

The Caesar Cipher of the sentence "THIS MESSAGE IS TOP SECRET."
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:  Option 'a' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

"THIS MESSAGE IS TOP SECRET."

We need to use the Caesar cipher.

As in general we always take a shift of 3 keys in Caesar cipher.

so, According to shift of 3 keys it becomes,

T→W

H→K

I→L

S→V

M→P

E→H

A→D

G→J

O→R

C→F

R→U

P→S

So, it can be written as

"THIS MESSAGE IS TOP SECRET."

WKLVP HVVDJ HLVWR SVHFU  HW.

we make a set of 5 letters in a word after Caesar cypher.

Hence, Option 'a' is correct.
