Answer:

The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is x.

The common difference is d.

The second term is x + d.

3rd term: x + 2d

4th term: x + 3d

7th term: x + 6d

"The fourth term of an Arithmetic Sequence is equal to 3 times the first term"

x + 3d = 3 * x       Eq. 1

"the seventh term exceeds twice the third term by 1"

x + 6d = 2(x + 2d) + 1       Eq. 2

Simplify Eq. 1:

2x = 3d

Simplify Eq. 2:

x + 6d = 2x + 4d + 1

x = 2d - 1

Multiply both sides of the last equation by 2.

2x = 4d - 2

2x = 3d   (simplified Eq. 1)

Since 2x = 2x, then the right sides are equal.

3d = 4d - 2

d = 2

2x = 3d

2x = 3(2)

2x = 6

x = 3

Answer: The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

± 27.33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given problem, we can estimate the initial and final coordinates of the line of the ball path as (-40,-50) and (0,0). Therefore, the slope is:

(-50-0)/(-40-0) = 50/40 = 1.25

Similarly, we can estimate the slope of a perpendicular line to the line of the ball path as: -1*(1/1.25) = -0.8.

Therefore, using (0,0) and the slope -0.8, the equation of the perpendicular line is: -0.8 = (y-0)/(x-0);

-0.8 = y/x

y = -0.8x

Furthermore, we are given the circle radius as 35 ft and we can use the distance formula to find the two points 35 ft far from the origin:

35^2 = x^2 + y^2

y = -0.8x

35^2 = x^2 + (-0.8x)^2

1225 = (x^2 + 0.64x^2)

1225 = 1.64x^2

x^2 = 1225/1.64 = 746.95

x = sqrt(746.95) = ± 27.33 ft

nikklg [1K]
<span>You can use the fact that the work done is equivalent to finding the center of mass of the water in the tank(which is at the center of the cylindrical cross section, which is 3 ft below the level to which the liquid is pumped. Call this distance h. 
You then need the total mass of the liquid, volume X density=m. This is where pi comes in! 
Work needed =mgh, where g is the gravitational acceleration.</span><span>
