The 10th term of an a.p is -27 and the 5th term is -12 .find the first term?

horsena [70]

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.

The heights of women aged 20 to 29 are approximately normal with mean 64 inches and standard deviation 2.7 inches. men the same

Artyom0805 [142]

<span>To find the z-scores, find the difference in the number of inches for each value from the mean and then divide that by the standard deviation. For women at 72 inches (6'), this would be (72-64) / 2.7, or a z-score of +2.963. For a male at 72 inches, this would be (72-69.3)/2.8, or +0.964. This shows that the woman at 6 feet tall is more rare in the distribution than a man at 6 feet tall.</span>

I'll give brainliest to whoever answers first and is correct!!

Answer:

(a) $y=8x+5$

(b) 7 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let x be the number of hours and y is the total cost.

We have been given that Beatrice and her friends charge $8 per hour of babysitting, so the charges for x hours of babysitting will be 8x.

As they also charge a mandatory $5 per day fee for each child for snacks, so the total charges for babysit each day will be charges for x hours of babysitting plus mandatory charge.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$y=8x+5$

Therefore, the equation $y=8x+5$ represents the total cost of using Beatrice’s babysitting service each day.

(b) To find the number of hours Beatrice babysit the daughter, we will substitute y = 61 in our equation and solve for x.

$61=8x+5$
