Answer is 8671/6 which is the third choice

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

Work Shown:

Find the first term of the sequence by plugging in n = 1

a_n = (5/6)*n + 1/3

a_1 = (5/6)*1 + 1/3    replace n with 1

a_1 = 5/6 + 1/3

a_1 = 5/6 + 2/6

a_1 = 7/6

Repeat for n = 58 to get the 58th term

a_n = (5/6)*n + 1/3

a_58 = (5/6)*58 + 1/3    replace n with 58

a_58 = (5/6)*(58/1) + 1/3

a_58 = (5*58)/(6*1) + 1/3

a_58 = 290/6 + 1/3

a_58 = 145/3 + 1/3

a_58 = 146/3

Now we can use the s_n formula below with n = 58

s_n = (n/2)*(a_1 + a_n)

s_58 = (58/2)*(a_1 + a_58)    replace n with 58

s_58 = (58/2)*(7/6 + a_58)   replace a_1 with 7/6

s_58 = (58/2)*(7/6 + 146/3)   replace a_58 with 146/3

s_58 = (58/2)*(7/6 + 292/6)

s_58 = (58/2)*(299/6)

s_58 = (58*299)/(2*6)

s_58 = 17342/12

s_58 = 8671/6

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (1,-5) to
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Q (2.5, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A (1, -5), C = (10, 1), find Q (x, y), so that AQ:QC = 1:5

AQ = (x - 1, y + 5)

QC = (10 - x, 1 - y)

AQ:QC = 1:5

so 5*AQ = QC

5(x - 1) = (10 - x)

5(y + 5) = 1 - y

Solve them:

5x - 5 = 10 - x

6x = 15

x = 15/6 = 2.5

5y + 25 = 1 - y

6y = -24

y = -24/6 = -4

Then answer is Q (2.5, -4)
