The 9th term of an arithmetic series is 5/2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

- 8050

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a + (n - 1)d

where a is the first term and d the common difference.

We require to find both a and d

Given the 9 th term is 2.5 , then

a + 8d = 2.5 → (1)

Given the sum of the second and fifth term is 27, then

a + d + a + 4d = 27, that is

2a + 5d = 27 → (2)

Multiply (1) by - 2 and add to (2) to eliminate a

- 2a - 16d = - 5 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

- 11d = 22 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

d = - 2

Substitute d = - 2 into (1) and solve for a

a - 16 = 2.5 ( add 16 to both sides )

a = 18.5

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}[ 2a + (n - 1)d ], thus

S_{100} = 50 [ (2 × 18.5) + (99 × - 2) ] = 50(37 - 198) = 50(- 161) = - 8050

Vlad [161]

43. 9 + 10 + 13 + 13 = $45

45 - 1 = 44

44 x 4 = 176

176 + 8 = 184

184/4 = 46

46 tokens per person

44. a. 22 x 5 = 110

943/110 = 8.7

you will need 9 bookcases

b. 110 x 9 = 990

990 - 943 = 47

47 - 44 = 3

There will be 3 books on the third shelf.

xxTIMURxx [149]
Well, let us figure out what the first store will cost.
40*6.95=278
Now for the second store
325*0.8=260

So the first store is $278, while the second store is $260, so Elisa should buy shirts from the second store
