Answer:

20 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given AP with the first two terms:</u>

  • a₁= 27 and a₂=24

<u>Common difference: </u>

  • d= 24-27 = -3

<u>To find </u>

  • n for which Sₙ= -30
<h3>Solution</h3>
  • Sₙ = 1/2*n*(a₁+aₙ) =
  • 1/2n(a₁+a₁+(n-1)d) =
  • 1/2n(27+27+(n-1)(-3))=
  • 1/2n(54 - 3n + 3) =
  • 1/2n(57 - 3n)

<u>Since Sₙ = -30</u>

  • 1/2n(57 - 3n) = -30
  • 57n - 3n² = -60
  • 19n - n²- 20 = 0
  • n² -19 n -20= 0

<u>Solving the quadratic equation we get:</u>

  • n =20

So the sum of 20 terms will add up - 30

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

To find this out, we first need to see the change, is it a positive change or a negative change? Well in this case, as the temperature is increasing, we find that the change is positive. The next step we need to do, id that, how much was the change by, we can find this out by finding the absolute value of the difference of -16°F and 7°F

The absolute value means, the operations answer has to be positive, if not then it will become positive.

|-16°F -7°F|

=> |-23°F|

=> 23°F

If my answer helped, kindly mark me as the brainliest!!

Given that f(x) = 6x + 2 and g(x) =2x+4 over 5 solve for g(f(1))
Lady bird [3.3K]
F(1)=6(1)+2
= 6+2
=8

g(f(1))= 2x/5 +4/5
= 2(8)/5 +4/5
= 16/5 +4/5
= 20/5
=4
