The first term of an AP is -7 and the ratio of the eight term to the third term is 7:1 calculate the common difference

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

the common difference is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

first term of an AP, a = -7

let the common difference = d

The third term is written as;

T₃ = a + 2d

The eight term is written as;

T₈ = a + 7d

The ratio of the eight term to third term = 7:1

$\frac{T_8}{T_3} = \frac{7}{1} = \frac{a+ 7d}{a + 2d} \\\\7 = \frac{a+ 7d}{a + 2d}\\\\Recall, a = -7\\\\7 = \frac{-7+ 7d}{-7 + 2d}\\\\7(-7 + 2d) = -7+ 7d\\\\-49 + 14d = -7 + 7d\\\\14d -7d = -7 + 49\\\\7d = 42\\\\d = \frac{42}{7} \\\\d = 6$

Therefore, the common difference is 6.

Find the perimeter of the pentagon MNPQR with vertices M(2, 4), N(5, 8), P(8, 4), Q(8, 1), and R(2, 1)

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The pentagon MNPQR has a perimeter of 22 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the perimeter of the pentagon is the sum of the lengths of each side, that is:

$p = MN + NP + PQ + QR + RM$ (1)

$p = \sqrt{\overrightarrow{MN}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{MN}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{NP}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{NP}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{PQ}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{PQ}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{QR}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{QR}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{RM}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{RM}}$ (1b)

If we know that $M(x,y) = (2,4)$ , $N(x,y) = (5,8)$ , $P(x,y) = (8,4)$ , $Q(x,y) = (8,1)$ and $R(x,y) = (2,1)$ , then the perimeter of the pentagon MNPQR is:

$p =\sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+(8-4)^{2}} + \sqrt{(8-5)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}+\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(1-4)^{2}}+\sqrt{(2-8)^{2}+(1-1)^{2}}+\sqrt{(2-2)^{2}+(4-1)^{2}}$ $p = \sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}} + \sqrt{3^{2}+(-4)^{2}}+\sqrt{0^{2}+(-3)^{2}}+\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+0^{2}}+\sqrt{0^{2}+3^{2}}$
