Arithmetic Question.

Mathematics

There are two answers

The first answer is 8

The second answer is 15

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

Work Shown:

t_1 = first term, t_2 = second term, etc etc

s_n = sum of the first n terms

t_1 = 11/3 ... is given

t_2 = t_1 + d ... add 'd' to the first term to get the second

t_3 = t_2 + d ... repeat last step to second term

t_3 = (t_1+d) + d ... substitution

t_3 = t_1+2d

t_3 = (11/3)+2d ... plug in t_1 = 11/3

t_3 = 3 ... this is given

The third term t_3 is both (11/3)+2d and 3. Equate the two expressions and solve for d.

(11/3)+2d = 3

2d = 3 - (11/3)

2d = (9/3) - (11/3)

2d = (9-11)/3

2d = -2/3

d = (-2/3)*(1/2)

d = -1/3

Turn to the nth term series formula for arithmetic sequences. Plug in the given and found values and isolate n

s_n = (n/2)*(t_1+t_n)

s_n = (n/2)*(t_1+t_1+d(n-1))

s_n = (n/2)*(2*t_1+d(n-1))

20 = (n/2)*(2*(11/3)+(-1/3)*(n-1))

20 = (n/2)*( (22/3)+(-1/3)(n-1))

2*20 =  n*( (22/3)+(-1/3)(n-1) )

40 =  n*( (22/3)+(-1/3)n + (-1/3)(-1) )

40 =  n*( (22/3)+(-1/3)n + (1/3) )

40 =  n*( (23/3)+(-1/3)n )

40 =  (23/3)n+(-1/3)n^2

3*40 =  3*(23/3)n+3*(-1/3)n^2

120 =  23n - n^2

0 =  23n - n^2 - 120

-n^2 + 23n - 120 = 0

n^2 - 23n + 120 = 0

(n - 8)(n - 15) = 0

n-8 = 0 or n-15 = 0

n = 8 or n = 15

If you were to add up the first n = 8 terms, then s_n = 20

If you were to add up the first n = 15 terms, then s_n = 20

HELP ASAP<br> f(x)=x² what is g(x)?
murzikaleks [220]

Just by comparing the plots of f(x) and g(x), it's clear that g(x) is just some positive scalar multiple of f(x), so that for some constant k, we have

g(x) = k • f(x) = kx² = (√k x)²

The plot of the transformed function g(x) = (√k x)² passes through the point (1, 4), which means

g(1) = (√k • 1)² = 4

and it follows that k = 4. So g(x) = 4x² = (2x)² and B is the correct choice.

Ay bro anyone wanna help, thanks

We use the pythagorean theorem and information about the rectangular prism to find the length of the hypotenuses that the spider walks along. Adding them together (5.39+5+5.83+3.91) gives us 20.13cm, the answer.
