The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -2. The eighth term of the sequence is 26. What is the common difference of the arit

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

d = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₁ = - 2 and a₈ = 26 , then

- 2 + 7d = 26 ( add 2 to both sides (

7d = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

d = 4

Kyle has a aquarium in the shape of a rectangular prism.The aquarium is 24 inches long and 10 inches wide. The volume of the aqu

jasenka [17]

To calculate to volume of a rectangular prism you use the formula l × w × h = V

l, w, and h are the sides, and V is the volume

So... 24 × 10 × h = 2,880

h = 2,880 / 240

h = 12

A single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of rolling an even number the first time and a number greater than 3 the seco

IceJOKER [234]

Events

• A: an even number is rolled in the first time

,

• B: a number greater than 3 is rolled the second time

The probability of rolling an even number is:

$\begin{gathered} P(A)=\frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ total possible outcomes}} \\ P(A)=\frac{3}{6} \\ P(A)=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

The probability of rolling a number greater than 3 is:

$\begin{gathered} P(B)=\frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ total possible outcomes}} \\ P(B)=\frac{3}{6} \\ P(B)=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

Events A and B are independent, then the probability of one happening after the other is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ P(A and B) = }P(A)\cdot P(B) \\ \text{ Substituting with the values previously found:} \\ \text{ P(A and B) = }\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2} \\ \text{ P(A and B) = }\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$

URGENT: If θ is a second-quadrant angle and cosθ = -2/3, then tanθ = _____.

dangina [55]

In the second quadrant, both cos and tan are negative while only sin is positive.

To find tan, we will use the following property below:

$\large \boxed{ {tan}^{2} \theta = {sec}^{2} \theta - 1}$

Sec is the reciprocal of cos. If cos is a/b then sec is b/a. Since cos is 2/3 then sec is 3/2

$\large{ {tan}^{2} \theta = {( - \frac{3}{2}) }^{2} - 1} \\ \large{ {tan}^{2} \theta = \frac{9}{4} - 1} \\ \large{ {tan}^{2} \theta = \frac{9}{4} - \frac{4}{4} \longrightarrow \frac{5}{4} } \\ \large{tan \theta = \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{4} } } \\ \large \boxed{tan \theta = \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2} }$

Since tan is negative in the second quadrant. Hence,

$\large{ \cancel{ tan \theta = \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2} } \longrightarrow \boxed{tan \theta = - \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{2} }}$

Answer

tan = -√5/2
