Mathematics

horsena [70]3 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{10} = - 27... (Given) \\\\\therefore a + 9d = - 27...... (1)\\\\a_{5} = - 12... (Given) \\\\\therefore a + 4d = - 12.......(2)\\\\

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1)

a + 9d-( a + 4d )= - 27-(-12)\\\\\therefore a +9d - a-4d = - 27+12\\\\\therefore 5d = - 15\\\\\therefore d = \frac {- 15}{5}\\\\\huge \orange {\boxed {\therefore d = -3}} \\\\

Substituting d = - 3 in equation (1), we find:

a + 9\times (-3)= - 27\\\\\therefore a - 27 = - 27\\\\\therefore a  = 27- 27\\\\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore a  = 0}}\\\\

Hence, first term is zero.

What is the answer to this question
nadezda [96]
A is the correct answer.

This is because if you multiply 0.25 by 4, that would equal 1. Now, multiply 12 by 4 as well and you'll get 48. So the scale is 1:48.
