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

I have some red roses and pink roses. I have 14 red roses. I have 8 more pink roses than red ones. How many roses do I have?
MrMuchimi
You have 36 roses because you have eight more pink than red so that means you have 22 pink and 14 red. 22 + 14 = 36

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

1. 6pi or 18.84cm

2. 20pi or 62.8cm

3. 13pi or 40.82cm

4. 9.5pi or 29.83cm

5. You calculate the circumference of a circle with the expression 2pi(r). r stands for the radius. You can also use pi(d), or pi x diameter.

7. You would use 2pi(r) to find the circumference of a circle when given the value of the circle's radius.

8. You would use pi(d) to find the circumference of a circle when given the value of the circle's diameter.

how many 3 element subsets of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ,9, 10, 11} are there for which the sum of the elements in the subset is
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

There are 155 ways in which these elements casn occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want 3 element subsets whose sum are multiples of 3

1+2+3= 6

1+2+6= 9

1+2+9= 12

1+9+11=21

1+3+5=9

1+4+8=12

1+5+6=12

1+6+8=15

1+7+10=18

1+8+9=18

1+9+11=21

2+3+7=12

2+4+6=12

2+4+9=15

2+5+11=18

2+6+7=15

2+7+9=18

2+8+5=15

2+8+11=21

2+9+10=21

3+6+9= 18

3+9+11=21

3+10+11=24

6+9+10=27

6+8+11=27

6+7+11=24

7+8+9= 24

8+9+10=27

7+9+11=27 .........

We have 11 elements

We need a combination of 3

The combinations can be in the form

even+ even+ odd

odd+odd+odd

even + odd+odd

So there are 3 ways in which these elements can occur

Total number of combinations with  3 elements =11C3= 165

There are 6 odd numbers and 5 even numbers.

Number of subsets with 3 odd numbers = 6C3= 20

Number of two even numbers and 1 odd number = 5C2*6C1=10*6= 60

Number of 2 odd and 1 even number = 6C2* 5C1= 5*15= 75

So 20+60+75=155

There are 155 ways in which this combination can occur

Answer:

The correct locations are;

Part to part ratio is 3 cats to 5 dogs

Whole to part ratio is 10 pets to 2 rabbits

Part to whole ratio is 5 dogs to 10 pets

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The number of cats Jim has = 3

The number of dogs Jim has = 5

The number of rabbit Jim has = 2

The total number of pets Jim has = 3 + 5 + 2 = 10 pets

Therefore;

The fraction of the pets that are cats = 3/10

The fraction of the pets that are dogs = 5/10

The fraction of the pets that are rabbits= 2/10

Therefore we have;

Part to part ratio = 3/10 cats to 5/10 dogs = 3 cats to 5 dogs

Whole to part ratio → 10 pets to 2 rabbits

Part to whole ratio → 5 dogs to 10 pets.
