Please help!! Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. -9 - 4 + 1 + 6 + ... + 66

1 answer:

4 0

$r=-4-(-9)=-4+9=5 \\ \\ a_{1}=-9 \\ \\ a_{n}=66 \\ \\ a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)r \\ \\ -9+5(n-1)=66 \\ \\ -9+5n-5=66 \\ \\ 5n-14=66 \\ \\ 5n=80 \\ \\ n=16 \\ \\ S_{n}= \frac{a_{1}+a_{n}}{2} *n \\ \\ S_{n}= \frac{-9+66}{2}*16=57*8=456$

The volume of the remaining paint is:
V1 = (1/4) * (pi) * (r ^ 2) * (h)
Where,
r: radio
h: height
Substituting values we have:
V1 = (1/4) * (3.14) * (8 ^ 2) * (20)
V1 = 1004.8 cm ^ 3
The smallest can volume is:
V2 = pi * r ^ 2 * h
Substituting values:
V2 = (3.14) * 5 ^ 2 * h
Matching the volumes:
V2 = V1
(3.14) * 5 ^ 2 * h = 1004.8
Clearing h:
h = (1004.8) / ((3.14) * 5 ^ 2)
h = 12.8 cm
Answer:
The height of the smallest part of the paint is:
h = 12.8 cm

Person A leaves his home to visit his cousin, person B who lives 76 miles away. He travels at an average rate of 44 miles per ho

MrRa [10]

Answer:

There are going to meet half a hour after person B leaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is model the position equation for both person A and person B. It can be done by a first order equation.

I am going to say that the positive direction is from the person A to the person B. So, A starts at the position 0 and B at the position 76.

The first step is to find the equation of the position of person A

The initial position of A is 0 and he travels 44 miles per hour in the direction of B, so to the positive diretion. So, the position S of person A is

$S_{A}(t) = 44t$ ,
