Answer:

the common difference = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The seventh term of an arithmetic sequence is 10.2 and the twelfth term is 17.7

a7 = 10.2

a12= 17.7

Use the formula for nth term

a_n= a_1+(n-1)d

where 'd' is the common difference

n is the number of terms

a1 is the first term

a_7= a_1+(7-1)d

10.2= a_1+6d  ---> equation 1

a_12= a_1+(12-1)d

17.7= a_1+11d  -------------> equation 2

Subtract equation 2 - equation 1

17.7= a_1+11d

10.2= a_1+6d

---------------------------------------

  7.5 = 5d

divide by 5 on both sides

d= 1.5

So the common difference = 1.5

7 = 10.2
12 = 17.7
Let's take 
d = 17.7 - 10.2/ 12 - 7
d =  7.5/ 5
d = 1.5
The common difference is 1.5

Height-9ft<br> Width-25ft<br> Volume-7650<br> Length-?
Licemer1 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

V = h × w × l

7650 = 9 × 25 × l

So,

l = 7650 ÷ 9 ÷ 25

l = 850 ÷ 25

l = 34

For the final, the length is 34.

7/2x+1/2x = 18+ 9/2x
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

x=-36

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the 7/2x +1/2x to be 8/2x which means that it'll be 4x=18=9/2

then subtract 9/2x on both sides so itll be

4x=18+\frac{9}{2} x

-9/2x       -9/2x

-\frac{1}{2} x=18   because if you do 8/2-9/2 it's -1/2

then multiply the reciprocal to both sides so

(\frac{2}{-1})(-\frac{1}{2}x)=(\frac{2}{-1})(18)

which then cancels out -1/2 and makes it

x=-36

A thermometer is taken from an inside room to the outside, where the air temperature is 20° f. after 1 minute the thermometer re
fomenos

The change in the temperature is proportional to the difference in temperatures. Let's call the initial temperature of the room and the thermometer E_0 and the current temperature E(t) where t is the elapsed time in minutes.  The outside temperature is 20 F.

Newton's Law of Cooling:

E(t) - 20 = (E_0 - 20) e^{- k t}

We're given E(1)=70 \textrm{ and } E(5)=45

70-20 = (E_0 - 20) e^{-k}

45-20 =(E_0 - 20) e^{-5k}

Dividing,

\dfrac{50}{25}=e^{4k}

k = \dfrac 1 4 \ln 2

Now,

E(t) - 20 = (E_0 - 20) e^{- k t}

E_0 = 20 + (E(t) - 20)e^{k t}

E_0 = 20 + (E(1) - 20)e^{k}

E_0 = 20 + (70 - 20)e^{\ln 2/4}

E_0 = 20 + 50 \cdot 2^{1/4} \approx 79.46 \textrm{ degrees F}
