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

How do u write 5.6 as a fraction in simplest form
krok68 [10]
The first answer to your question is 5 6/10 because you pronounce the decimal as six tenths. There is a simpler form of 5 6/10, it is 5 3/5. This is because you divide six by 2 and get 3 and divide 10 by two and get 5.

Find an equation of the line passing through the point (−6,−5) that is parallel to the line y=4/3x−5
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

y = \frac{4}{3} x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{4}{3} x - 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{4}{3}

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = \frac{4}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 6, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 8 = 3

y = \frac{4}{3} x + 3 ← equation of parallel line

The x-y is the answer can someone please explain to me how to do
guapka [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{\sqrt{x-y}}{\sqrt{x+y}-\sqrt{x-y}}-\frac{\sqrt{x-y}}{\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{x-y}}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{x-y}*(\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{x-y})-(\sqrt{x-y})*(\sqrt{x+y}-\sqrt{x-y})}{(\sqrt{x+y}-\sqrt{x-y})*(\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{x-y})}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{x-y}*(\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{x-y}-\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{x-y})}{(\sqrt{x+y})^2-(\sqrt{x-y)^{2}}}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{x-y}*2\sqrt{x-y}}{x+y-x+y}\\\\=2*\frac{x-y}{2y}=\frac{x-y}{y}\\\\(\frac{\sqrt{x-y}}{\sqrt{x+y}-\sqrt{x-y}}-\frac{\sqrt{x-y}}{\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{x-y}})*y=\frac{x-y}{y}*y\\\\=x-y
