The sum of the given sequence is -6384.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The given Arithmetic sequence is 14 + 8 + 2+ ... + ( 274) + (-280).

  • The first term of the sequence = 14
  • The last term of the sequence = -280
  • The common difference ⇒ 14 - 8 = 6

<u>To find the number of terms in the sequence :</u>

The formula used is n = (\frac{a_{n}-a_{1}} {d})+1

where,

  • n is the number of terms.
  • a_{n} is the late term which is -280.
  • a_{1} is the first term which is 14.
  • d is the common difference which is 6.

Therefore, n =(\frac{-280-14}{6}) +1

⇒ n =( \frac{-294}{6}) + 1

⇒ n = -49 + 1

⇒ n = -48

⇒ n = 48, since n cannot be negative.

∴ The number of terms, n = 48.

<u>To find the sum of the arithmetic progression :</u>

The formula used is S = \frac{n}{2}(a_{1} + a_{n} )

where,

  • S is the sum of the sequence.
  • a_{1} is the first term which is 14.
  • a_{n} is the late term which is -280.

Therefore, S = \frac{48}{2}(14+ (-280))

⇒ S = \frac{48}{2}(-266)

⇒ S = 48 \times -133

⇒ S = -6384

∴ The sum of the given sequence is -6384.

Find the measure of the angle indicated. 6
deff fn [24]

Answer:

1) m∠U = 90°

2) m∠C = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given figure is a quadrilateral

The sum of the interior angles of  quadrilateral = 360°

∴ The sum of the interior angles of the given figure = 360°

Therefore, we have;

80° + 24·x + 4 + 6 + 21·x + 90° = 360°

80° + 45·x + 10  + 90° = 360°

x = (360°- (80° + 10° + 90°))/45 = 4

x = 4

m∠U = 6 + 21·x = 6 + 21 × 4 = 90

m∠U = 90°

2) The sum of the interior angles of the given quadrilateral = 360°

∴ 21·x + 6 + 20·x + 24·x + 4 + 21·x + 6 = 360°

86·x + 16 = 360°

x = (360° - 16°)/86 = 4

x = 4

m∠C = 20·x = 20 × 4 = 80

m∠C = 80°

3) In the figure, some angles are left out, therefore, more information on the remaining angles required

Calculate the new balance of an account that has been sitting for three years with a 1.5% interest rate and had an initial depos
maksim [4K]

Answer:

$5225

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the amount after simple interest: A = P(1 + rt)

"A" is the final amount, or balance.

"P" is the principal, or the starting amount.

"r" is the rate of interest in decimal form.

"t" is the time.

What we know:

P = 5000

t = 3

r = 1.5%

Convert the rate to decimal form by dividing by 100, or moving the decimal place two places to the left.

1.5% => 0.015 = r

Substitute what we know into the formula:

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 5000(1 + (0.015)(3))     <=simplify

A = 5000(1 + 0.045)

A = 5000(1.045)

A = 5225     <= new balance

The new balance of an account is $5225.
