QUESTION IN THE ATTACHMENT

Mathematics
1 answer:
eimsori [14]2 years ago
6 0

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

The second on a watch is 14mm long. What area does it sweep through in 30 seconds
skad [1K]

Exact Area = 98pi  

Approximate Area = 307.8760800518 (use calculator stored version of pi)

Approximate Area = 307.72 (using pi = 3.14)

Units are in square millimeters

======================================================

Explanation:

In 60 seconds, the hand sweeps out a full circle of radius 14. The area of this circle is

A = pi*r^2 = pi*14^2 = 196pi

Half of this is what the hand sweeps out in 30 seconds, so A/2 = (196pi)/2 = 98pi is the exact area it sweeps out. Your calculator would then show 98pi = 307.8760800518 approximately

If instead you use pi = 3.14, then the approximate area is 98*3.14 = 307.72
