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

What is the value of x? tangent lines acellus
liberstina [14]

Answer:

30°

Step-by-step explanation:

the three interior angles of a triangle add up to 180, so 60° + 90°+ 30° just works. Sorry it's such a bad explanation, but the answer works . I have acellus too and I entered the answer before answering your question.

Pls help in this aaaaaa

The question is incorrect. X is not defined UNLESS the hexagon is a regular hexagon, which means that all sides are equal (given) AND all angles are equal (not given).

Error in question aside, and  ASSUMING the hexagon is regular, you can apply the principle that
1. the sum of exterior angles of ANY polygon is 360.
2. the sum of exterior angles and interior angles at EACH vertex is 180.
3. Multiply sum from (2) above by the number of vertices and subtract 360 gives the sum of the interior angles.
4. IF the polygon is regular (all angles equal), then each interior angle equals the result from (3) divided by n, the number of vertices.

Example for a regular heptagon (7 sides, 7 verfices).
1. Sum of exterior angles = 360
2. sum of interior and exterior angles at EACH vertex=180
3. multiply 180 by 7, subtract 360
180*7-360=900
4. since heptagon is regular, each interior angle equals 900/7=128.57 deg.
