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

Mathematics
1 answer:
LenaWriter [7]3 years ago
6 0

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?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> °
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  111°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n - 2) 180°

This polygon has 7 sides

Then n = 7

Process

  120 + 158 + 126 + 125 + 121 + 139 + x = (7 - 2)180

  120 + 158 + 126 + 125 + 121 + 139 + x = 5(180)

  789 + x = 900

  x = 900 -789

  x = 111°

Graph the direct variation y=−1.5x. Using the graph, find:
Mariana [72]
Y=-3

-3=-1.5x
you substitiue y value, then you divide both sides by -1.5 and you get 2 for x.
(2,-3)

y=4.5
4.5=-1.5x
you substitute y value, then again you divide both sides by -1.5 and you get 3.
(3,4.5)



y=6
6=-1.5x
same thing for this last one. then once again divide by -1.5 and you get -4.
(-4,6)
