First term ,a=4 , common difference =4-7=-3, n =50
sum of first 50terms= (50/2)[2×4+(50-1)(-3)]
=25×[8+49]×-3
=25×57×-3
=25× -171
= -42925
derivation of the formula for the sum of n terms
Progression, S
S=a1+a2+a3+a4+...+an

S=a1+(a1+d)+(a1+2d)+(a1+3d)+...+[a1+(n−1)d]   →   Equation (1)

S=an+an−1+an−2+an−3+...+a1

S=an+(an−d)+(an−2d)+(an−3d)+...+[an−(n−1)d]   →   Equation (2)

Add Equations (1) and (2)
2S=(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+...+(a1+an)

2S=n(a1+an)
S=n/2(a1+an)

Substitute an = a1 + (n - 1)d to the above equation, we have
S=n/2{a1+[a1+(n−1)d]}
S=n/2[2a1+(n−1)d]

t= 2.25 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Equation for motion with uniform acceleration is v = u+ at

where v is the final velocity

          u is the initial velocity

          a is the acceleration due to gravity

          and t is the time

Step 2 :

Here , v = 0 because at the highest point final velocity is 0.

u = 72 feet/sec

a = -32 ft/sec^2

We need to find the time t.

Substituting in the equation we have,

0 = 72 -32 * t

=> 32 t = 72

=> t = 72/32 = 2.25 secs

Answer:

Check step-by-step.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so. She gets 5 dollars and she does 15 chores. You would multiply it.

5 * 15 = $75

Then you would subtract 112 and 75.

112 - 75 = 37.

She will get $75. Then, she will need to gather $37

lesantik [10]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we given the information that Jordan is preparing serving of baby carrots and that he has 96 baby carrots, while each serving is 12 carats.

The number of shearings that Jordan can prepare will be:

= 96 / 12

= 8

From the above calculation, there won't be any carrots left since we do not have a remainder.
