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

A sporting goods factory puts out 98 playground balls in each shipment. Each ball costs $2. What is the total cost of playground
Natalija [7]

Answer:

$588

Step-by-step explanation:

As each shipment has 98 balls, to determine the total cost of playground balls in three shipments, you have to multiply 98 for 3. Then, after determine the amount of balls in the three shipments, you have to multiply that for the price of each ball:

Total amount= 98*3= 294

Total cost= 294*$2= $588

The total cost of playground balls in three shipments is $588.

Please help me on this one
devlian [24]

Answer:

option a

step-by-step explanation:

To rationalize the expresion we need to multiply and divide the expression by the conjugate of the denominator as follows

sqrt(9) / (sqrt(3) + sqrt(x)) = sqrt(9) ((sqrt(3) - sqrt(x)) / ((sqrt(3) + sqrt(x))(sqrt(3) - sqrt(x)))

3((sqrt(3) - sqrt(x)) / (3 - x)

So the result es option a:

(3sqrt(3) - 3sqrt(x)) / (3 - x)

Which correctly names the line in this figure?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
B correctly names the line. In A, DEF (or DF) means a segment, which are not infinite like a line. In C, M represents the plane that this line is on, but not the line. In D, E simply represents point E, a point on the line, but can't represent the line itself. EF with an arrow point both sides means it's a line defined by EF extending to infinity in both directions.
