Mathematics

Galina-37 [17]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

3135

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

a1 = 6

Use t4 - t3 to get d

t4 = 27

t3 = 20

Step One

Find a1 and d

a1 = 6

d = t4 - t3

d = 27 - 20

d = 7

Step Two

Find the 30th Term

tn= a1 + (n -1 )*d

t30 = 6 + (30 - 1) * 7

t30 = 6 + 29*7

t30 = 6 + 203

t30 = 209

Step Three

Find the sum using Sum = (a + t30)*n/2

n = 30 given

a1 = 6 given

t30 = 209 calculated from step 2

Sum = (a1 + t30)*n/2 Substitute

Sum = (6+ 209)*30/2 Combine like terms and divide by 2

sum = 215 * 15 Multiply

Sum = 3135 Answer

Find the simple<br> interest on sh 25000<br> borrowed at the rate<br> of 1% for 3/4yrs.

True [87]

Here the word "borrowed" is taken as Principal, given rate is 1% and time taken is 3/4 yrs.

so by using formula,

I = P*T*R / 100

= 25000*3/4*1 / 100

= 187.5

So the answer must be 187.5.

The following table shows the distance from school as a function time

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

27,0 the distance away from the school

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the formula for equation of a straight line;

y=mx+c where c is the y intercept , and m is the gradient

From the graph, the slope is negative where speed decreases with increase in time

Find the gradient by applying the formula;

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Taking y₁=24, y₂=20, x₁=9, x₂=12

Then;

$m=\frac{20-24}{12-9} =\frac{-4}{3}$

write the equation of the function as ;

y=mx+c, c=36( the y-intercept when x=0) hence the equation is;

$y=mx+c\\\\y=\frac{-4}{3}x+36$

To get x-intercept, substitute value of y with 0

$y=mx+c\\\\\\y=-\frac{4}{3} +36\\\\\\0=-\frac{4}{3} x+36\\\\\frac{4}{3}x =36\\\\\\4x=36*3\\\\\\x=108/4=27$

This means that the x-intercept is 27 ,and this means you will require 27 minutes to cover the whole distance to the school.

Inequality to x2 < 64

Anarel [89]

NOT MY WORDS TAKEN FROM A SOURCE!

(x^2) <64 => (x^2) -64 < 64-64 => (x^2) - 64 < 0 64= 8^2 so (x^2) - (8^2) < 0 To solve the inequality we first find the roots (values of x that make (x^2) - (8^2) = 0 ) Note that if we can express (x^2) - (y^2) as (x-y)* (x+y) You can work backwards and verify this is true. so let's set (x^2) - (8^2) equal to zero to find the roots: (x^2) - (8^2) = 0 => (x-8)*(x+8) = 0 if x-8 = 0 => x=8 and if x+8 = 0 => x=-8 So x= +/-8 are the roots of x^2) - (8^2)Now you need to pick any x values less than -8 (the smaller root) , one x value between -8 and +8 (the two roots), and one x value greater than 8 (the greater root) and see if the sign is positive or negative. 1) Let's pick -10 (which is smaller than -8). If x=-10, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 100-64 = 36>0 so it is positive
2) Let's pick 0 (which is greater than -8, larger than 8). If x=0, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 0-64 = -64 <0 so it is negative3) Let's pick +10 (which is greater than 10). If x=-10, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 100-64 = 36>0 so it is positive Since we are interested in (x^2) - 64 < 0, then x should be between -8 and positive 8. So -8<x<8 Note: If you choose any number outside this range for x, and square it it will be greater than 64 and so it is not valid.

Hope this helped!

9) work out 6 - 3x-2--10

3x+6 I believe because you can’t add a number with a variable to a number without one
