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

Answer:

(x-6)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Daniela is a stain glass artist; she created the window below for her living room. What is
OLga [1]
The window has a shape of a semi-circle (half of a circle).

We know the diameter d = 12 ft.

The area of a (complete) circle is given by the formula:
A = π × r²

The radius can be found by halving the diameter:
r = d ÷ 2
  = 12 ÷ 2
  = 6 ft

Therefore the area of the circle will be:
<span>A = π × r²
    = 3.14 × 6</span>²
    = <span>3.14 × 36
    = 113.04 ft²

And the area of the semi-circle:
A = </span><span>113.04 </span>÷ 2
   = 56.52 ft²

Hence, the area of the window will be 56.52 ft².
