Answer:

The common difference is -5/4

T(n) = T(0)  - 5n/4,

where T(0) can be any number. d = -5/4

Assuming T(0) = 0, then first term

T(1) = 0 -5/4 = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

T(n) = T(0) + n*d

Let

S1 = T(x) + T(x+1) + T(x+2) + T(x+3) = 4*T(0) + (x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3)d = 240

S2 = T(x+4) + T(x+5) + T(x+6) + T(x+7) = 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d = 220

S2 - S1

= 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d - (4*T(0) + (x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4)d)

= (5+6+7+8 - 1 -2-3-4)d

= 4(4)d

= 16d

Since S2=220,  S1 = 240

220-240 = 16d

d = -20/16 = -5/4

Since T(0) has not been defined, it could be any number.

Triangle #1

To solve this answer we need to multiply then <em>divide by 2</em>

3 x 8=24

24 ÷ 2=12

12

Triangle #2

Now we do the same thing!

3 x 8=24

24 ÷ 2=12

12

Rectangle #1

<em>Now we solve for the rectangle!</em>

6 x 8 = 48

48

Now we add all these together!

12 + 12 + 48 = 72

<em>The answer is D. 72 Square Units</em>

Graph the parabola using the direction, vertex, focus, and axis of symmetry.

Direction: Opens Down

Vertex:  ( − 3 /4 ,  41 /8 )

Focus:  ( − 3 /4 ,  5 )

Axis of Symmetry:  x = − 3 /4

Directrix:  y = 21 /4

x                  y

− 3               − 5

− 2                2

− 3                4
