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

What is the answer to this
Arisa [49]

Answer:

x = 20, <S = 47 degrees, <P = 131 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

27 + x + 119 + 63 + 3x + 71 = 360

4x + 280 = 360

4x = 80

x = 20

<S = 27 + x = 27 + 20 = 47 degrees

<P =  3x + 71 = 3(20) + 71 = 131 degrees

Six customers enter a gift shop during a 3-hour period. On average there are 0.25 customers in the gift shop and each spends 7.5
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

6 is most directly associated with the flow rate of customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason:

0.25 is the number of customers in the gift shop at a given point of time is WIP inventory

7.5 is the average time spent by customer in the shop and it is the throughput time.

Flow rate = WIP inventory/Throughput time

=0.25/7.5

= 0.0333 per minute = 2 per hour or 6 per 3 hour as given in question.
