17 Answer: 205

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\{1\dfrac{2}{3}+1\dfrac{5}{6}+2+...+8\dfrac{1}{3}\}\implies a_1=1\dfrac{2}{3},\ d=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\qquad solve\ for\ n\\\\8\dfrac{1}{3}=1\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}(n-1)\\\\\\\dfrac{25}{3}=\dfrac{5}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}n-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\\dfrac{50}{6}=\dfrac{10}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}n-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\\dfrac{41}{6}=\dfrac{1}{6}n\\\\\\\dfrac{41}{6}\cdot 6=n\\\\41=n$

$\text{Now use the sum formula:}\\\\S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a_n}{2}\cdot n\\\\\\S_{41}=\dfrac{1\dfrac{2}{3}+8\dfrac{1}{3}}{2}\cdot 41\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{10}{2}\cdot 41\\\\\\.\quad =5\cdot 41\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{205}$

18 Answer: 1968

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$a_1=-6,\ d=2,\ n=48, \quad \text{solve for }a_{48}\\\\a_{n}=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_{48}=-6+2(48-1)\\\\.\quad =-6+2(47)\\\\.\quad =-6+94\\\\.\quad =88$

$\text{Now use the sum formula:}\\\\S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a_n}{2}\cdot n\\\\\\S_{48}=\dfrac{-6+88}{2}\cdot 48\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{82}{2}\cdot 48\\\\\\.\quad =41\cdot 48\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{1968}$

19 Answer: -116

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\{3, -2, -7, ...\}\\a_1=3,\ d=-5,\ n=8, \quad \text{solve for }a_{8}\\\\a_{n}=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_{8}=3-5(8-1)\\\\.\quad =3-5(7)\\\\.\quad =3-35\\\\.\quad =-32\\\\\text{Now use the sum formula:}\\\\S_8=\dfrac{a_1+a_8}{2}\cdot 8\\\\\\S_{8}=\dfrac{3-32}{2}\cdot 8\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{-29}{2}\cdot 8\\\\\\.\quad =-29\cdot 4\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{-116}$

Plz help me with this math and also explain

jasenka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>[1]</h2>

SI = $250
Rate (R) = 12 $\sf \dfrac{1}{2}$ %
Time (t) = 4 years

$\longrightarrow \tt { SI = \dfrac{PRT}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 12\cfrac{1}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times \cfrac{25}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 25 \times 2}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 50}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 \times 100 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 25000 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { \dfrac{25000}{50} = P } \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green{ \tt { \$ \; 500 = P }}}} \\$

Therefore principal is $500.

2/7 of the balls are red.
3/5 of the balls are blue.
Rest are yellow.
Number of yellow balls = 36

Let the total number of balls be x.

→ Red balls + Blue balls + Yellow balls = Total number of balls

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{2}{7}x + \dfrac{3}{5}x + 36 = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{10x + 21x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{31x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 31x + 1260= 35x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 35x-31x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 4x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{1260 }{4}= x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \tt { 315 = x }}} \\$

Total number of balls is 315.

A/Q,

3/5 of the balls are blue.

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}(315)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} = 3(63)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green {\tt { Balls_{(Blue)} = 189 }}}} \\$

The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8,4) and (0, 2) is y-

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

While the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

$y-y_ {0} = m (x-x_ {0})$

Where:

m: It's the slope

$(x_ {0}, y_ {0}):$ It is a point through which the line passes

In this case we have a line through:

(8,4) and (0,2)

Therefore, its slope is:

$m = \frac {2-4} {0-8} = \frac {-2} {- 8} = \frac {1} {4}$

Its point-slope equation is:

$y-4 = \frac {1} {4} (x-8)$

Then, we manipulate the expression to find the equation of the slope-intersection form:

$y-4 = \frac {1} {4} x- \frac {8} {4}\\y-4 = \frac {1} {4} x-2\\y = \frac {1} {4} x-2 + 4\\y = \frac {1} {4} x + 2$

Therefore, the cut-off point with the y-axis is $b = 2$

ANswer:

$y = \frac {1} {4} x + 2$
