In an arithmetic sequence:
Tn=t₁+(n-1)d

t₄=t₁+(4-1)d=t₁+3d
t₅=t₁+(5-1)d=t₁+4d
t₆=t₁+(6-1)d=t₁+5d

t₄+t₅+t₆=(t₁+3d) +(t₁+4d)+(t₁+5d)=3t₁+12d

Therefore:
3t₁+12d=300    (1)


t₁₅=t₁+(15-1)d=t₁+14d
t₁₆=t₁+(16-1)d=t₁+15d
t₁₇=t₁+(17-1)d=t₁+16d

t₁₅+t₁₆+t₁₇=(t₁+14d)+(t₁+15d)+(t₁+16d)=3t₁+45d

Therefore:
3t₁+45d=201    (2)

With the equations (1) and (2) we make an system of equations:

3t₁+12d=300
3t₁+45d=201

we can solve this system of equations by reduction method.

  3t₁+12d=300
-(3t₁+45d=201)
-----------------------------
       -33d=99      ⇒d=99/-33=-3

3t₁+12d=300
3t₁+12(-3)=300
3t₁-36=300
3t₁=300+36
3t₁=336
t₁=336/3
t₁=112

Threfore:

Tn=112+(n-1)(-3)
Tn=112-3n+3
Tn=115-3n

Now, we calculate T₁₈:

T₁₈=115-3(18)=115-54=61

Answer: T₁₈=61

Solve x^2 + 4x + 8 = 0
Mkey [24]

Answer:

x = -2 + 2 i or x = -2 - 2 i

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 + 4 x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from both sides:

x^2 + 4 x = -8

Add 4 to both sides:

x^2 + 4 x + 4 = -4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 2)^2 = -4

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 2 = 2 i or x + 2 = -2 i

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 + 2 i or x + 2 = -2 i

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer:  x = -2 + 2 i or x = -2 - 2 i

Figure A which has two rays connected at a vertex is an angle in this scenario.

<h3>What is an Angle?</h3>

This is formed when two rays share a common endpoint with there being different types of angles.

The common endpoint shared forms a vertex which is why Figure A was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
