Prove that if the number of terms of an A.P is odd then the middle term is the A.M between the first and last term???​

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Proved that when number of terms of an A.P is odd then the middle term is the A .M between the first and last term

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

To prove: If the number of terms of an A.P is odd then the middle term is the A .M between the first and last term

Proof:

Let the arithmetic progression be:

a, a + d, a + 2d, ........., (2n + 1) terms

As the number of terms are odd, the nth term is (2n + 1)

The middle term of (2n + 1)th term is:

\rightarrow \frac{(2n + 1 + 1)}{2} = \frac{2n + 2}{2}= (n + 1)

Hence middle term is (n + 1)th term

The formula for nth term of arithmetic progression is:

a_n = a + (n - 1)d  ------- (i)

Where n is the terms location and "d" is the common difference between terms

Thus middle term is: (n + 1)th term

From (i)

\text{ middle term } = a + (n + 1 - 1)d = a + nd  ----- (ii)

Arithmetic mean between first and last term:

The nth term is (2n + 1)

Hence nth term (last term) is:

From (i)

\rightarrow a + (2n + 1 - 1)d = a + 2nd

So Arithmetic mean between 1st & last term is:

First term of A.P = a

Arithmetic mean between first and last term = (first term + last term)/2

\rightarrow \frac{a + a + 2nd}{2}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{2a + 2nd}{2}\\\\\rightarrow a + nd  ----- (iii)

Thus from steps (ii) and (iii)

Middle term = AM of 1st and last terms [Proved]

Thus proved that when number of terms of an A.P is odd then the middle term is the A .M between the first and last term

Find the values forX, Y, and Z so that all the following statements are true.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

x = -36, y = 6, z = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The requirement x/z = -z means x = -z².

The requirement x/y = z means x = yz.

These two requirements together mean yz = -z², or y = -z.

The requirements that z/2 and z/3 are integers mean that z is a multiple of 2·3 = 6. The smallest magnitude non-zero multiple is z=-6 (since we also require z < -z).

Using z=-6, we have x = -z² = -36; y = -(-6) = 6.

For some positive integer n, ...

... x = -36n², y = 6n, z = -6n.

2y=-x+9<br>3×-6y=-15 whats the solution to the system​
liq [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = -x +9

3x - 6y = -15

The solution is the value of x and y that will make the two equations true in the same time.

3x-6y = -15;  divide both sides by 3

x-2y = -5; substitute 2y for -x+9 because the first equation tell us they are equal

x-(-x+9) = -5; open parenthesis

x+x-9 = -5 ; add 9 to both sides  and combine like terms

2x = -5 +9; 2x = 4; divide both sides by 2

x= 2

Substitute x for 2

2y = -x+9 ; 2y = -2 +9 ; 2y = 7; y = 7/2 = 3.5

Solution is (2, 3.5)

<h3>Answer 1a :- </h3>

Here we can solve this question using<em> </em><em>Unitary</em><em> </em><em>Method</em><em> </em><em>.</em> As ;

→ In 17hrs the boat travels 452km

→ In 1hr the boat will travel 452km/17

→ In 9hrs the boat will travel 452/17km * 9 = 239.29km

\rule{200}4

<h3>Answer 1b:-</h3>

→ A car can travel 156km on 13L gasoline .

→ It will travel 1km on 13/156L of gasoline .

→ It will travel 480km on 13/156*480L = 40L of gasoline .

\rule{200}4

<h3>Answer 2a :-</h3>

→ A boat can go 180 miles on 60L gasoline.

→ It will go 1mile in 60/180L of gasoline.

→ It will go 306 miles in 60/180*306L = 102L of gasoline .

\rule{200}4

<h3>Answer 2b :-</h3>

→ On 51L of gasoline a car can go 408km

→ On 1L of gasoline car will go 408/51 km

→ On 11L of gasoline it will go 408/51*11L = 88km

\rule{200}4

I need the answer quickly please
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

c²=√181=13.45, or 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem is a²+b²=c²

Given this, we will plug in our numbers like this: 9²+10²=c²

9²+10²=181, but we have to find the square root of that.

c²=√181=13.45, or 13.5

I hope this helps!! :)
