Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem can be understood as a mathematical relationship between the sides of a right triangle that helps to understand geometric problems in real situations, such as finding measurements, calculating areas, etc.
The theorem says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other sides.
In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, on the side opposite to its longest angle, and the other two sides will be the sides. So the Pythagorean theorem formula is:
a² = b² + c²
where a represents the hypotenuse and b and c the other sides.
We will take one given at a time, the common place is "Detroit", so we will take it as a reference.
1- Detroit is colder than Boston, this means that:
Temperature in Detroit < Temperature in Boston .........> I
2- Detroit is warmer that <span>Minneapolis, this means that:
Temperature is </span><span>Minneapolis < Temperature in Detroit .........> II
From I and II, we can conclude that:
</span><span>Minneapolis has the lowest temperature, followed by Detroit and then Boston.
Comparing this to the choices, we will find that the correct choice is:
</span><span>2. Minneapolis's temperature < Detroit's temperature < Boston's temperature</span>
<u>Hint </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
- Break the given sequence into two parts .
- Notice the terms at gap of one term beginning from the first term .They are like
. Next term is obtained by multiplying half to the previous term . - Notice the terms beginning from 2nd term ,
. Next term is obtained by adding 3 to the previous term .
<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
We need to find out the sum of 50 terms of the given sequence . After splitting the given sequence ,
.
We can see that this is in <u>Geometric</u><u> </u><u>Progression </u> where 1/2 is the common ratio . Calculating the sum of 25 terms , we have ,
![\implies S_1 = a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \\\\\implies S_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\left[ \dfrac{1-\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{25}}{1-\dfrac{1}{2}}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%20S_1%20%3D%20a%5Cdfrac%7B1-r%5En%7D%7B1-r%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cimplies%20S_1%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cdfrac%7B1-%5Cbigg%28%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cbigg%29%5E%7B25%7D%7D%7B1-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Notice the term 
will be too small , so we can neglect it and take its approximation as 0 .
![\implies S_1\approx \cancel{ \dfrac{1}{2} } \left[ \dfrac{1-0}{\cancel{\dfrac{1}{2} }}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%20S_1%5Capprox%20%5Ccancel%7B%20%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cdfrac%7B1-0%7D%7B%5Ccancel%7B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Now the second sequence is in Arithmetic Progression , with common difference = 3 .
![\implies S_2=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%20S_2%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%5B2a%20%2B%20%28n-1%29d%5D%20)
Substitute ,
![\implies S_2=\dfrac{25}{2}[2(4) + (25-1)3] =\boxed{ 908}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%20S_2%3D%5Cdfrac%7B25%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%284%29%20%2B%20%2825-1%293%5D%20%3D%5Cboxed%7B%20908%7D%20)
Hence sum = 908 + 1 = 909
Answer:
16. y=-5x-20; 17. y=6x+18, or factored y=6(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Your slope is -5
y=-5x+b, solve for b by pluging the point (-3,-5) in for x and y
-5=-5(-3)+b, solve for b
-20=b, now rewrite the equation
y=-5x-20
Your slope is 6
y=-5x+b, solve for b by pluging the point (-3,-0) in for x and y
0=6(-3)+b, solve for b
18=b, now rewrite the equation
y=6x+18, or factored y=6(x+3)
