Answer:

Part 15) The next three terms are 5/8,3/4 and 7/8

Part 16) The 37th term is -35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an <u>Arithmetic Sequence</u> the difference between one term and the next is a constant and this constant is called the common difference (d)

Part 15) Find the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence

\frac{1}{8},\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{8},\frac{1}{2},...

so

a1=1/8\\ a2=1/4\\ a3=3/8\\ a4=1/2\\ a2-a1=1/4-1/8=1/8\\ a3-a2=3/8-1/4=1/8\\ a4=a3=1/2-3/8=1/8

The common difference is equal to

d=1/8

<u><em>Find the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence</em></u>

<u><em>Find a5</em></u>

a5=a4+d ----->a5=1/2+1/8=5/8

<u><em>Find a6</em></u>

a6=a5+d ----->a6=5/8+1/8=3/4

<u><em>Find a7</em></u>

a7=a6+d ----->a7=3/4+1/8=7/8

therefore

The next three terms are

5/8,3/4 and 7/8

Part 16) what is the 37th term of the arithmetic sequence

4.1,3,1.9,0.8,...?

so

a1=4.1\\ a2=3\\ a3=1.9\\ a4=0.8

a2-a1=3-4.1=-1.1\\ a3-a2=1.9-3=-1.1\\ a4=a3=0.8-1.9=-1.1

The common difference is equal to

d=-1.1

We can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule

an=a1+d(n-1)

substitute the values

an=4.1-1.1(n-1)

For n=37

substitute

a37=4.1-1.1(37-1)

a37=4.1-1.1(36)

a37=-35.5

Can someone give me the answer :( and then explain how to get the answer..
Pani-rosa [81]

x=months

so erica: 200+75x

darrell: 350+50x

make them equal:

200+75x=350+50x

get x on one side.

125x=550

500/125=x

x=4.4

What is the length of the shortest altitude in a triangle, if the lengths of the sides are 24 cm, 25 cm, 7 cm?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The shortest altitude is 6.72 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the side lengths are

24 cm, 25 cm, 7 cm

The area of a triangle =

A = \sqrt{s \cdot (s-a)\cdot (s-b)\cdot (s-c)}

Where;

s = Half the perimeter = (24 + 25 +  7)/2 = 28

A = √((28×(28 - 24)×(28 - 25)×(28 - 7)) = 84 cm²

We note that 84/7 = 12

Therefore, the triangle is a right triangle with hypotenuse = 25, and legs, 24 and 7, the height of the triangle = 7

To find the shortest altitude, we utilize the formula for the area of the triangle A = 1/2 base × Altitude

Altitude  = A/(1/2 ×base)

Therefore, the altitude is inversely proportional to the base, and to reduce the altitude, we increase the base as follows;

We set the base to 25 cm to get;

Area of the triangle A =  1/2 × base × Altitude

84 = 1/2 × 25 × Altitude

Altitude = 84/(1/2 × 25) = 6.72 cm

The shortest altitude = 6.72 cm.
