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

If a cube has a volume of 9 feet and a shelf has a height of 27 inches, can the cube fit in the shelf?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Yes the cube will fit.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we don't take into account of how wide of long the cube is and just focus on the height, the edge of a cube with a volume of 9 feet is roughly 2.08 feet. That totals to less than 27 inches, therefore the cube will fit on the shelf.

Jason and Yolanda both drew a simple random sample from a non-normally distributed population of 25,000. Jason’s sample consiste
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:  Last Option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of population = 25000

Percent of sample of Jason = 0.24%

Percent of sample of Yolanda's = 0.32%

So, Number of population according to Jason's sample is given by

\frac{0.24}{100}\times 25000\\\\=0.0024\times 25000\\\\=60

Number of population according to Yolanda's sample is given by

\frac{0.32}{100}\times 25000\\\\=0.0032\times 25000\\\\=80

Both the sample can be used to make inferences about the population

Hence, Last Option is correct.
