Given sequence:

-2,-7,-12 ,..

Unknown;

Find the sum of the first 20 terms = ?

Solution:

  The sequence is -2,-7,-12 ,..

To find he sum of n-terms of a sequence, we use the expression below;

     Sₙ  = \frac{n}{2} (2a + (n-1)d)

where n is the number of terms = 20

           a is the first term = -2

            d is the common difference= -7 - (-)2 = -5

Now input the parameters and solve;

       Sₙ  = \frac{20}{2} (2(-2) + (20 - 1) x -5)

      Sₙ = 10(-4 + -5(19))  = 10(-99)  = -990

The sum of the first 20 terms of the sequence is -990

65Answer:

we can use sin to find the missing length

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio states that sin of an angle=opposite/hypotenuse

sin(65)=x/6 since we know the angle and the hypotenuse we need to figure out the opposite side

sin(65)=0.906307...

0.906307=x/6

Multiply 6 on both sides to isolate x

The answer is 5.4378...

Rounded to the hundredth is 5.44

A large container holds 8 gallons of water. After 56 minutes the container only has 1 gallon of water left. At what rate is the
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The rate at which water leaking is \frac{1}{8} gal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A large container holds 8 gallons of water.

After 56 minutes the container only has 1 gallon of water left.

Now, to find at what rate is the water leaking.

So, water leaked from the container = 8 gallons - 1 gallon = 7 gallons.

Time taken for leakage = 56 minutes.

<em>Now, to get the rate:</em>

\frac{Gallons\ of\ water\ leaked}{Time\ taken\ for\ leakage}

=\frac{7 gallons}{56 minutes}

=\frac{1 gallon}{8 minutes}

The rate = \frac{1}{8} gal/min.

Therefore, the rate at which water is leaking is \frac{1}{8} gal/min.

Triangle QRS is a right triangle.
olasank [31]

Answer:

5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² =² c²               the Pythagorean theorem

RQ² + RS² = QS²            Solve RS

6² + RS² = 8²

RS² = 64 -36

RS² = 28

RS = √28                  28 is slightly > 25   and since  √25 =5

RS = 5.3                    actually 5.2915  to a few more significant digits
