What is the sum of the arithmetic series below?

1 answer:

5 0

Hello :
the common ratio is r = -95-(-100)=5
the general terme is : un= u1+(n-1)r
un = -100 +(n-1)(5)
un =-100 +5n-5
un = 5n-105
The last term is : 100
un =100
5n-105 = 100
5n =205
n = 41 (Number of terms)
The last term is : u 41
the sum is : S= (41/2)(-100+100)=0

Answer:

A) Container X

Step-by-step explanation:

X=2C:6S ratio, now reduce amount but keep the same ratio

X=1C:3S

Y=4C:8S ratio, now reduce amount but keep the same ratio

Y=1C:2S

Container X has the sweeter water because it's ratio of sugar to water is higher.

A 10 ft pole has a support rope that extends from the top of the pole to the ground. The rope and the ground form a 30 degree an

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The length of rope is 20.0 ft . Hence, option (1) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure below AB represents pole having height 10 ft and AC represents the rope that is from the top of pole to the ground. BC represent the ground distance from base of tower to the rope.

The rope and the ground form a 30 degree angle that is the angle between BC and AC is 30°.

In right angled triangle ABC with right angle at B.

Since we have to find the length of rope that is the value of side AC.

Using trigonometric ratios

$\sin C=\frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
