Missing part of the question

Miguel has started training for a race. The first time he trains, he runs 0.5 mile. Each subsequent time he trains, he runs 0.2 mile farther than he did the previous time.

What is the arithmetic series that represents the total distance Miguel has run after he has trained n times?

Answer:

The least number of times Miguel must run for his total distance run during training to exceed the distance of a marathon is 17.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:.

Given parameters

Miguel first run = 0.5 mile

Subsequent run = 0.2 mile

This question is an arithmetic progression.

We'll make use of arithmetic progression formula to solve this

Formula:.

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where a = first term

n = number of terms

d = common difference

In this case

a = first run = 0.5 mile

d = subsequent run = 0.2 mile

So, Tn = a + (n - 1)d become

Tn = 0.5 + (n - 1) 0.2

Tn = 0.5 + 0.2n - 0.2

Tn = 0.5 - 0.2 + 0.2n

Tn = 0.3 + 0.2n

The arithmetic series of an arithmetic progression is calculated using

Sn = ½(a + Tn) * n

By substituton, we have

Sn = ½(0.5 + 0.3 + 0.2n) * n

Sn = ½(0.8 + 0.2n) * n

Sn = 0.4n + 0.1n²

b.

Since the race is 26.2 miles then the least number of times is given as

Sn ≥ 26

0.4n + 0.1n² ≥ 26.2

0.1n² + 0.4n - 26.2 ≥ 0

Using quadratic formula

n = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac))/2a

Where b = 0.4 a = 0.1 and C = -26.2

So,

n = -0.4 ± √(0.4² - 4 * 0.1 * ,26.2)/2 * 0.1

n = (-0.4 ± √10.64)/0.2

n = (0.4 ± 3.26)/0.2

n = (0.4 + 3.26)/0.2 or (0.4 - 3.26)/0.2

n = 3.46/0.2 or -2.86/0.2

n = 17.3 or -14.3

Since n can't be negative

n = 17.3 miles

The least number of times Miguel must run for his total distance run during training to exceed the distance of a marathon is 17.3 miles

Olin [163]
Team A scored a total of 80,597 points I believe

161,161 + 33 = 161,194
161,194 ÷2 = 80,597
80,597- 33 = 80,564
80,564 + 80,597 = 161,161

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: The linear system of equations that models this scenario are

T + B = 15

3T + 2B = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T represent the number of tricycles.

Let B represents the number of bicycles ordered.

The recreation center ordered a total of 15 tricycles and bicycles from a sporting good store. It is expressed as

T + B = 15

A tricycle has three wheels. A bicycle has 2 wheels. The number of wheels for all tricycles and bicycles total 38. The expression would be

3T + 2B = 38
