Answer:

d = - \frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is

S_n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 160, n = 25 and S_{25} = 3500 , thus

\frac{25}{2} [ (2 × 160) + 24d ] = 3500, that is

12.5(320 + 24d) = 3500 ( divide both sides by 12.5 )

320 + 24d = 280 ( subtract 320 from both sides )

24d = - 40 ( divide both sides by 24 )

d = - \frac{40}{24}  = - \frac{5}{3}

fomenos

Answer: It will take 4 seconds  for the rock to hit the​ water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Benjamin threw a rock straight up from a cliff that was 48 ft above the water.

If the height of the rock​ h, in​ feet, after t seconds is given by the equation

h = -16 t^2+ 52 t + 48

To find : Time taken for the rock to hit the​ water.

When rock hit the water height becomes zero , i.e. put h = 0 , we get

-16 t^2+ 52 t + 48 =0

Divide equation by 2 , we get

-8t^2+26t+24=0

The Laue of x for ax²+bx+c =0 is x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

So , t=\frac{-26\pm\sqrt{(26^{2}-4(-8)(24))}}{2(-8)}

t=\dfrac{-26\pm 38}{-16}\\\\ t=-\dfrac{-26+38}{-16}=-0.75\ \ t=\dfrac{-26-38}{-16}=4

Since t cannot be negative , so t= 4

Hence, it will take 4 seconds  for the rock to hit the​ water.

HELP PLEASE<br> Use elimination to solve the system of equations<br> 2x + 3y = 9 <br> x + 5y = 8
ikadub [295]

Answer:

y=5/7   x=31/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the x values the opposite of each other:

-2(x+5y=8)

-2x-10y=-16

2x+3y=9

Combine like terms and solve for y:

-7y=-5

y=5/7

Plug y in to find x.

x+5(5/7)=8

x+25/7=8

56/7-25/7=x

x=31/7
