The sequence is an arithmetic sequence with
a₁ = -4
d = a₂ - a₁
d = -1 - (-4)
d = -1 + 4
d = 3
an = x
Sn = 437
General formula in arithmetic sequence
Formula to find nth term
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
Formula to find sum of sequence (sn)
Sn = n/2 (a₁ + an)
We have to make an equation system based on the problem
plug the numbers into the formula
First equation
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
x = -4 + 3(n - 1)
x = -4 + 3n - 3
x = 3n - 7
Second equation
Sn = n/2 (a₁ + an)
n/2 (a₁ + an) = 437
n/2 (-4 + x) = 437
n(x - 4) = 874
xn - 4n = 874
Solve the equation system by subtitution method
Subtitute x with 3n - 7 in the second equation
xn - 4n = 874
(3n - 7)n - 4n = 874
3n² - 7n - 4n = 874
3n² - 11n - 874 = 0
(3n + 46)(n - 19) = 0
n = -46/3 or n = 19
Because the number of terms shouldn't be negative, -46/3 isn't required, so the value of n is 19.
Solve for x, back to the first equatin
x = 3n - 7
x = 3(19) - 7
x = 57 - 7
x = 50
The solution is 50
Answer:
The Multiplication Property of Equality states that if you multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, the sides remain equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
so for example if a=b then a x c=b x c
because your doing the same thing to both sides.
The amount of gold coating in millimeters needed for the ring is the difference between the total coating and the coating that has already been applied. From the given above, that would be,
0.03 mm - 0.021 mm = 0.009 mm
Thus, the answer to this question is letter B.
Volume of the cube is 1000 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the volume of the cube.
Side of the cube = 10 cm
⇒ Volume of the cube =(side)³ = 10³ = 1000 cm³
