Answer:

h = -t+20

After 8 hours the candle will be 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 points (time, inches)

 (3,17)  and (5,15)

We can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (15-17)/(5-3)

   = -2/2

   = -1

We can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Replace y with h and x with t

h-17 = -1 (t-3)

Distribute

h-17 = -t+3

Add 17 to each side

h-17+17 = -t+3+17

h = -t+20

40 ÷ 10 = 4 ← value of 1 part of ratio , then

IJ = 3 parts = 3 × 4 = 12

A car travels 480 miles on 15 gallons of gasoline. How many miles does the car travel per gallon?
ElenaW [278]
You take 480 and divide it by 15, because it says per gallon. so then if the car goes 480 miles with 15 gallons, you have to figure out how to find per gallon. you divide 480/15 and your answer is 32

A) If the 5th term of an A.P. is double the 7th term, show that the sum of the 17 terms zero.​
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₅ is double a₇ , then

a₁ + 4d = 2(a₁ + 6d) , that is

a₁ + 4d = 2a₁ + 12d ( subtract a₁ from both sides )

4d = a₁ + 12d ( subtract 12d from both sides )

- 8d = a₁

The sum of n terms of an AP is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ] , substitute values

S_{17} = \frac{17}{2} ( 2(- 8d) + 16d)

     = 8.5(- 16d + 16d)

     = 8.5 × 0

     = 0
