The seventh term of an arithmetic progression is equal to twice the fifth term. The sum
1 answer:
Answer:
a₁ = - 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an AP is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₇ = 2a₅ , then
a₁ + 6d = 2(a₁ + 4d) = 2a₁ + 8d ( subtract 2a₁ + 8d from both sides )
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
The sum to n terms of an AP is
=
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
Given = 84 , then
(2a₁ + 6d) = 84
3.5(2a₁ + 6d) = 84 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Thus we have 2 equations
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate d
- 3a₁ - 6d = 0 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate d
- a₁ = 24 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a₁ = - 24

From the histogram fall under 2 fruits per day
Generally the first quartile is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
From the histogram girl fall under 1 fruit per day
Generally the third quartile is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
From the histogram fall under 4 fruits per day
Generally from the histogram table the frequency [number of subjects (girls) ] and the servings of fruit per day can be represented as
Total
x(servings per day ) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
f (number of subjects ) 15 11 15 11 8 5 3 3 3
xf 0 11 30 33 32 25 18 21 24
Generally the mean is mathematically represented as
