I believe there is no such AP...

Recursively, this sequence is supposed to be given by

\begin{cases}a_1=8\\a_k=a_{k-1}+d&\text{for }k>1\end{cases}

so that

a_k=a_{k-1}+d=a_{k-2}+2d=\cdots=a_1+(k-1)d

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

33=8+(n-1)d

21=(n-1)d

n has to be an integer, which means there are 4 possible cases.

Case 1: n-1=1 and d=21. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^2(8+21(k-1))=37\neq123

Case 2: n-1=21 and d=1. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{22}(8+1(k-1))=407\neq123

Case 3: n-1=3 and d=7. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^4(8+7(k-1))=74\neq123

Case 4: n-1=7 and d=3. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^8(8+3(k-1))=148\neq123

OI 00<br>R<br>b) From the given figure:<br>write the alternate<br>angle of angle RUN<br>P<br>$<br>2​
Ainat [17]

Answer:

alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate angles are defined as angles that are located in opposite positions when we look at them relative to a transverse line that intersects two horizontal lines.

Now, we want to find the alternate angle to angle RUN.

The same transverse line cuts the other horizontal line PQ at point O.

Therefore the alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU
