Answer:

Plot a point at (0,-3) and (2,-2) then connect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use y=mx +b to guide where you graph the line. b is the y -intercept and shoud be graphed on the y-axis. m represents the slope which is rise/run. To graph the line, mark -3 on the y-intercept. Then plot the next point 1 unit up and 2 units over at (2, -2).

$t_{10} = -22 \ \text{ and } S_{10} = -85$

========================================================

Explanation:

$t_1 = \text{first term} = 5\\t_2 = \text{first term}-3 = t_1 - 3 = 5-3 = 2$

Note we subtract 3 off the previous term (t1) to get the next term (t2). Each new successive term is found this way

$t_3 = t_2 - 3 = 2-3 = -1\\t_4 = t_3 - 3 = -1-3 = -4$

and so on. This process may take a while to reach $t_{10}$

There's a shortcut. The nth term of any arithmetic sequence is

$t_n = t_1+d(n-1)$

We plug in $t_1 = 5 \text{ and } d = -3$ and simplify

$t_n = t_1+d(n-1)\\t_n = 5+(-3)(n-1)\\t_n = 5-3n+3\\t_n = -3n+8$

Then we can plug in various positive whole numbers for n to find the corresponding $t_n$ value. For example, plug in n = 2

$t_n = -3n+8\\t_2 = -3*2+8\\t_2 = -6+8\\t_2 = 2$

which matches with the second term we found earlier. And,

$tn = -3n+8\\t_{10} = -3*10+8\\t_{10} = -30+8\\t_{10} = \boldsymbol{-22} \ \textbf{ is the tenth term}$

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

The notation $S_{10}$ refers to the sum of the first ten terms $t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_9, t_{10}$

We could use either the long way or the shortcut above to find all $t_1$ through $t_{10}$ . Then add those values up. Or we can take this shortcut below.

$Sn = \text{sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence}\\S_n = (n/2)*(t_1+t_n)\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(t_1+t_{10})\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(5-22)\\S_{10} = 5*(-17)\\\boldsymbol{S_{10} = -85}$

The sum of the first ten terms is -85

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

As a check for $S_{10}$ , here are the first ten terms:

t1 = 5
t2 = 2
t3 = -1
t4 = -4
t5 = -7
t6 = -10
t7 = -13
t8 = -16
t9 = -19
t10 = -22

Then adding said terms gets us...

5 + 2 + (-1) + (-4) + (-7) + (-10) + (-13) + (-16) + (-19) + (-22) = -85

This confirms that $S_{10} = -85$ is correct.

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 372 yards. If the width of the field is 87 yards, what is its length?__yards

worty [1.4K]

ANSWER

The length of the rectangular field is 99 yards

EXPLANATION

Given information

The perimeter of a rectangle field is 372 yards

The width of the field is 87 yards

To find the length of the rectangular field, follow the steps below

Step 1: Write the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangular field

$\begin{gathered} \text{ The perimeter of a rectangular field = 2\lparen l + w\rparen} \\ \text{ where l =length, and w = width} \end{gathered}$

Step 2: Substitute the given data into the formula in step 1

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Perimeter = 2 \lparen l + w\rparen} \\ \text{ Perimeter = 372 yards} \\ \text{ width = 87 yards} \\ \text{ 372 = 2\lparen l + 87\rparen} \\ \text{ Divide both sides by 2} \\ \text{ }\frac{372}{2}\text{ = }\frac{2}{2}(l\text{ + 87\rparen} \\ 186\text{ = l + 87} \\ \text{ subtract 87 from each sides of the equation} \\ \text{ 186 - 87 = l + 87 - 87} \\ \text{ 99 = l} \\ l\text{ = 99 yards} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the length of the rectangular field is 99 yards
