Answer:

A. The sum of the first 10th term is 100.

B. The sum of the nth term is n²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Sum of 20th term (S20) = 400

Sum of 40th term (S40) = 1600

Sum of 10th term (S10) =..?

Sum of nth term (Sn) =..?

Recall:

Sn = n/2[2a + (n – 1)d]

Sn is the sum of the nth term.

n is the number of term.

a is the first term.

d is the common difference

We'll begin by calculating the first term and the common difference. This is illustrated below:

Sn = n/2 [2a + (n – 1)d]

S20 = 20/2 [2a + (20 – 1)d]

S20= 10 [2a + 19d]

S20 = 20a + 190d

But:

S20 = 400

400 = 20a + 190d .......(1)

S40 = 40/2 [2a + (40 – 1)d]

S40 = 20 [2a + 39d]

S40 = 40a + 780d

But

S40 = 1600

1600 = 40a + 780d....... (2)

400 = 20a + 190d .......(1)

1600 = 40a + 780d....... (2)

Solve by elimination method

Multiply equation 1 by 40 and multiply equation 2 by 20 as shown below:

40 x equation 1:

40 x (400 = 20a + 190d)

16000 = 800a + 7600. ........ (3)

20 x equation 2:

20 x (1600 = 40a + 780d)

32000 = 800a + 15600d......... (4)

Subtract equation 3 from equation 4

Equation 4 – Equation 3

32000 = 800a + 15600d

– 16000 = 800a + 7600d

16000 = 8000d

Divide both side by 8000

d = 16000/8000

d = 2

Substituting the value of d into equation 1

400 = 20a + 190d

d = 2

400 = 20a + (190 x 2)

400 = 20a + 380

Collect like terms

400 – 380 = 20a

20 = 20a

Divide both side by 20

a = 20/20

a = 1

Therefore,

First term (a) = 1.

Common difference (d) = 2.

A. Determination of the sum of the 10th term.

First term (a) = 1.

Common difference (d) = 2

Number of term (n) = 10

Sum of 10th term (S10) =..?

Sn = n/2 [2a + (n – 1)d]

S10 = 10/2 [2x1 + (10 – 1)2]

S10 = 5 [2 + 9x2]

S10 = 5 [2 + 18]

S10 = 5 x 20

S10 = 100

Therefore, the sum of the first 10th term is 100.

B. Determination of the sum of the nth term.

First term (a) = 1.

Common difference (d) = 2

Sum of nth term (Sn) =..?

Sn = n/2 [2a + (n – 1)d]

Sn = n/2 [2x1 + (n – 1)2]

Sn = n/2 [2 + 2n – 2]

Sn = n/2 [2 – 2 + 2n ]

Sn = n/2 [ 2n ]

Sn = n²

Therefore, the sum of the nth term is n²

Gather information from relevant source and write about the he Earth's moon .<br>1000 words

just olya [345]

Answer:

The Moon's orbit around Earth has a sidereal period of 27.3 days. During each synodic period of 29.5 days, the amount of visible surface illuminated by the Sun varies from none up to 100%, resulting in lunar phases that form the basis for the months of a lunar calendar. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, which means that the length of a full rotation of the Moon on its own axis causes its same side (the near side) to always face Earth, and the somewhat longer lunar day is the same as the synodic period. That said, 59% of the total lunar surface can be seen from Earth through shifts in perspective due to libration.[17]

The most widely accepted origin explanation posits that the Moon formed about 4.51 billion years ago, not long after Earth, out of the debris from a giant impact between the planet and a hypothesized Mars-sized body called Theia. It then receded to a wider orbit because of tidal interaction with the Earth. The near side of the Moon is marked by dark volcanic maria ("seas"), which fill the spaces between bright ancient crustal highlands and prominent impact craters. Most of the large impact basins and mare surfaces were in place by the end of the Imbrian period, some three billion years ago. The lunar surface is relatively non-reflective, with a reflectance just slightly brighter than that of worn asphalt. However, because it has a large angular diameter, the full moon is the brightest celestial object in the night sky. The Moon's apparent size is nearly the same as that of the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse.

Write a new function that represents a transformation to the parent function if the new function shifts right 5 units and up 3 u

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Let's define two transformations.

Vertical translation.

If we have a function f(x), a vertical translation of N untis is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

If N is positive, then the translation is upwards

If N is negative, then the translation is downwards.

Horizontal translation.

If we have a function f(x), a horizontal translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x - N)

if N is positive, then the translation is to the right

If N is negative, then the translation is to the left.

Now we have a function g(x) that is a transformation of a parent function f(x) (we actually do not know which parent function, so i assume f(x) = x^2) such that we have a shift right 5 units and up 3 units.

Then:

g(x) = f(x - 5) + 3

and again, using f(x) = x^2

g(x) = (x - 5)^2 + 3
