What is a3 of the arithmetic sequence for which a10 is 41 and a15 is 61

Mathematics

For the arithmetic sequence
a₁, a₂, a₃, ..., 
The n-th term is
a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d
where d = common difference.

Because a₁₀ = 41,
a₁ + 9d = 41                (1)

Because a₁₅ = 61
a₁ + 14d = 61             (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
5d = 20
  d = 4
From (1), obtain
a₁ = 41 - 9*4 = 5

Therefore
a₃ = 5 + 2*4 = 13

Answer:  a₃ = 13

Jackson purchases a new car for $48,000. The car's value can be modeled by the
vekshin1

We have been given that Jackson purchases a new car for $48,000. The car's value can be modeled by the  following exponential function: y = 48000(0.76)^t where y represents the car's  value and t represents time in years. We are asked to find the decay rate as a percentage.

We know that an exponential decay function is in form y=a\cdot (1-r)^x, where,

y = Final value,

a = Initial value,

r = Decay rate in decimal form,

x = time.

Upon comparing our given function y = 48000(0.76)^t with standard decay function  y=a\cdot (1-r)^x, we can see that 1-r=0.76.

Let us solve for r.

1-1-r=0.76-1

-r=-0.24

r=0.24

Let us convert 0.24 into percentage.

0.24\times 100\%=24\%

Therefore, the decay rate is 24%.

How much string is out if a kite is 100 feet above the ground and the string makes an angle of 65° with the ground?
olasank [31]
You have a right triangle situation here, and what you are looking for is the length of the hypotenuse. The leg perpendicular to the ground is 100, and the base angle that is NOT the right angle, is 65. So your equation is set up like this: sin 65 = 100/x. Rearrange that a bit to get x alone: x = 100/ sin 65. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode and solve for x. x = 110.34 feet of string.
