Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The 6th term of an arithmetic progression is 35 and the 13th term is 77. find the 1st term

We know we have an arithmetic sequence.

a_n = (n - 1)*d + a_1

given:

a_6 = 35 = (6-1)*d + a_1

a_13 = (13 -1)*d + a_1 = 77

find a_1

we have  35 = 5d + a_1

and  77 = 12d + a_1

2 equations in 2 unknowns.

We can solve this.

77 = 12d + a_1

35 = 5d + a_1

minus  the 2 equations from each other.

77 - 35 = 12d - 5d + a_1 - a_1

42 = 7d

d = 6

Find a_1

35 = 5*6 + a_1

35 = 30 + a_1

a_1 = 35 -30 = 5

a_1 = 5

Question:
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 3/2 - sqrt(17)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

x/x - 1 = x - 3 - 2/x

x/x - 1 = 0:

0 = x - 3 - 2/x

0 = x - 3 - 2/x is equivalent to x - 3 - 2/x = 0:

x - 3 - 2/x = 0

Bring x - 3 - 2/x together using the common denominator x:

(x^2 - 3 x - 2)/x = 0

Multiply both sides by x:

x^2 - 3 x - 2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x^2 - 3 x = 2

Add 9/4 to both sides:

x^2 - 3 x + 9/4 = 17/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 3/2)^2 = 17/4

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 3/2 = sqrt(17)/2 or x - 3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2

Add 3/2 to both sides:

x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x - 3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2

Add 3/2 to both sides:

Answer: x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 3/2 - sqrt(17)/2

Sati [7]
Hello.

The minimum number of rigid transformations required to show that polygon ABCDE is congruent to polygon FGHIJ is 2 (translation and rotation). 

A rotation translation must be used to make the two polygons coincide. 

A sequence of transformations of polygon ABCDE such that ABCDE does not coincide with polygon FGHIJ is a translation 2 units down and a 90° counterclockwise rotation about point D

Two functions f and g are given. Show that the growth rate of the linear function is constant and that the relative growth rate
joja [24]

Answer:

  linear function growth rate: 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate of the linear function is the coefficient of t: 8.5. (It is a constant.)

__

The growth rate of g(t) is its derivative: g'(t) = (1/8)(160e^(t/8)) = 20e^(t/8). Then the relative growth rate is ...

  g'(t)/g(t) = (20e^(t/8))/(160e^(t/8)) = 20/160 = 1/8

It is a constant.
