Find the first 5 terms of the arithmetic sequence : a(1)=-3 , a(17)=-20

Mathematics

madreJ [45]3 years ago

The explicit formula for arithmetic sequence is:
an=a+(n-1)d
where:
a=first term
d=common difference 
given:
a3=22
a(17)=-20
substituting this in our equation we get:
22=a+(3-1)d
22=a+2d
a=22-2d........i

also:
-20=a+(17-1)d
-20=a+16d.....ii
but substituting i in ii we get:
-20=22-2d+16d
-20-22=14d
-42=14d
d=-3
but:
a=22-2d
a=22-2(-3)
a=28
thus the formula will be:
an=28-3(n-1)
thus the first term will be 28
the 2nd term will be:
a2=28-3(2-1)
a2=25

the 3rd term will be:
a3=28-3(3-1)
a3=28-6
a3=22

a4=28-3(4-1)
a4=28-9
a4=15

a5=28-3(5-1)
a5=28-3(4)
a5=28-12
a5=15

Chris took a vacation trip to maine, where sales tax on taxable items is 5%. in maine, prepared food and lodging are taxed an ad
12345 [234]
So, it's just an annoying problem. Keep the tax rates in mind for each thing.
$70 of souvenirs mean the tax is 5% since it is not prepared food, lodging, or auto rentals.
$580 on prepared food means that has 7% tax because it is special.
$620 on the car has a 10% tax, as stated in the problem.
So do 70(1.05)+580(1.07)+620(1.1) to get $1376.1.0

Find the exact value of csc(-1860).
Alex787 [66]
Now, there are 360° in a circle, how many times does 360° go into 1860°?

well, let's check that,   \bf \cfrac{1860}{360}\implies \cfrac{31}{6}\implies 5\frac{1}{6}\implies 5+\frac{1}{6}

now, this is a negative angle, so it's going clockwise, like a clock moves, so it goes around the circle clockwise 5 times fully, and then it goes 1/6 extra.

well, we know 360° is in a circle, how many degrees in 1/6 of 360°?  well, is just 360/6 or their product, and that's just 60°.

so -1860, is an angle that goes clockwise, negative, 5 times fully, then goes an extra 60° passed.

5 times fully will land you back at the 0 location, if you move further down 60° clockwise, that'll land you on the IV quadrant, with an angle of -60°.

therefore, the csc(-1860°) is the same as the angle of csc(-60°), which is the same as the csc(360° - 60°) or csc(300°).

\bf csc(300^o)\implies \cfrac{1}{sin(300^o)}\implies \cfrac{1}{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\implies -\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}
\\\\\\
\textit{and if we rationalize the denominator}\qquad -\cfrac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
