QUESTION IN THE ATTACHMENT

Mathematics
1 answer:
eimsori [14]3 years ago

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

Solve -11 - x + = - 5 (2x-3) + 7
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Let's see what to do buddy...

Step-by-step explanation:

_________________________________

- 11 - x =  - 5(2x - 3) + 7

- 11 - x =  - 10x + 15 + 7

- 11 - x =  - 10x + 22

Subtract the sides of the equation plus<em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em> :

- x =  - 10x + 22 + 11

- x =  - 10x + 33

Subtract the sides of the equation plus <em>1</em><em>0</em><em>x</em>

10x - x = 10x - 10x + 33

9x = 33

Divided the sides of the equation by <em>9</em><em> </em>

\frac{9}{9}x =  \frac{33}{9} \\

x =  \frac{33}{9} =  \frac{3 \times 11}{3 \times 3} =  \frac{11}{3} \\

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.

Whats the answer &amp; how do I solve it ?

Answer:

Area of rectangle = 225/2 or 112.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Consider a rectangle ABCD.

Let AC be a diagonal of rectangle of length   = 15

In triangle  ABC.

Sin 45° =height/hypotenuse   {SinФ = height / hypotenuse}

Here, hypotenuse = diagonal of rectangle ( i.e AC = 15)

And height is AB

Therefore, sin 45° = AB/AC

or sin 45° = AB / 15

or 1/√2 = AB /15

AB = 15/√2

Similarly we can find Base (i.e BC) using cosine.

Cos 45° = Base/Hypotenuse

Cos 45° = BC / AC

or  1/√2 = BC/15

BC = 15/√2

Hence we got length of rectangle , AB= 15/√2

And width of rectangle , BC = 15/√2

Therefore, area of rectangle = Length × Width

Area of rectangle = 15/√2  ×   15/√2  = 225/2

Hence, area of rectangle = 225/2 = 112.5
