What is a1 of the arithmetic sequence for which a3=10 and a51=−182?

Mathematics

LenaWriter [7]3 years ago

Answer:

a₁ = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₃ = 10 and a₅₁ = - 182, then

a₁ + 2d = 10 → (1)

a₁ + 50d = - 182 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

48d = - 192 ( divide both sides by 48 )

d = - 4

Substitute d = - 4 into (1) and evaluate for a₁

a₁ + 2(- 4) = 10

a₁ - 8 = 10 ( add 8 to both sides )

a₁ = 18

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

True - The above statement is true

A circle is the collection of points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point in the plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <em><u>A circle is the set of points in a plane that are a given distance from a given point in the plane. The given point is the center of the circle, and the given distance is the radius.</u></em>
  • In other words; A circle is the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a given center point.  Therefore; the locus of points at a fixed distance, d, from the point, P is a circle with the given point P as its center and d as its radius.

Mr. Saba owns two food trucks. He rents two spots at the state fair. This table shows the number of tacos the two food trucks so
Nadya [2.5K]
Using the data for each truck lets calculate, 

median for truck 1 - 511.5
median for truck 2 - 650.5

lets consider each statement 
A.medians for both trucks are the same - wrong 
median for 1 and 2 are 511.5 and 650.5 respectively 

B. the two trucks sold most number of tacos on 3rd day 
truck 1 sold 437 on day 3 but highest number it sold was 721 on day 1
truck 2 sold 426 on day 3 but highest number was 732 on day 6
therefore this statement too is wrong 

C.
truck 1 - range between maximum(721) and minimum(425) = 296
truck 2 - maximum (732) and minimum (426) difference = 306
the range between maximum and minimum in truck 2 is 306 thats greater than range between maximum and minimum in truck 1, that's 296
therefore this statement is correct

D.
total number of tacos for each truck - 
truck 1 - 5291
truck 2 - 6107
food truck 1 sold less than truck 2 therefore this statement too is wrong
