4 0

Th term of an arithmetic sequence:

We have to find the difference (d)

an=a₁+(n-1)d

Data:
a₁=-7
a₁₈=95

95=-7+(18-1)d
95+7=17d
17d=102
d=102/17
d=6

Now, we can calculate the 35 th term of an arithmetic sequence:
a₃₅=-7+(35-1)*6
a₃₅=-7+34*6
a₃₅=-7+204
a₃₅=197

Answer: the 35th term of this arithmetic sequence is 197. (a₃₅=197)

The width of a rectangle is 6 2/3 inches. The length of the is twice it’s width. What so the perimeter of the rectangle?

Nookie1986 [14]

$\text {Width = } 6\dfrac{2}{3} \text { inches}
$

The length is twice its width:
$\text {Length = } 2 \times 6\dfrac{2}{3} \text { inches}$

Change to improper fraction:
$\text {Length = }2 \times \dfrac{20}{3} \text { inches}$

Combine into single fraction:
$\text {Length = } \dfrac{40}{3} \text { inches}$

Find Perimeter :
$\text {Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width}$

$\text {Perimeter = } \dfrac{40}{3} + \dfrac{40}{3} + \dfrac{20}{3} + \dfrac{20}{3} = \dfrac{120}{3} = 40 \text { inches}$

$\bf \text {Answer: Perimeter = 40 inches}$
