You have to do 299 divided by 260

It equals 1.15, it means that the percentage increase is 15%

It’s a triangle
s
r t

rs= 2x+10 and st= x-4

the sides are equal so equal them together then solve

2x+10=x-4
+ 4 +4
2x+14=x

you got x alone so x=2x+14

now you plug in 2x+14 in for the x in rs and st

rs= 2(2x+14)+10
4x+28+10
4x+38

st= (2x+14)-4
2x+14-4
2x-10

Carrie wished to build a rectangular dog run along theside of her garage. The garage will serve as one side of the fence. If she

Nat2105 [25]

Given:

Carrie has 180 ft of the fencing and wishes the fence to be 4times as long as it is wide.

To Find:

The area in square feet that the fencing encloses.

Answer:

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the length of the dog run and y denote the width of the dog run.

Given that the garage wall serves as one side of the dog run, we are left with 3 other sides to instal the fence.

Carrie has 180ft of fencing with her, so the sum of the lengths of the 3 sides has to be equal to 180. We can represent this in the form of an equation as

$x+y+y=180\\\\x+2y=180\\\\x=180-2y$

We are also given that Carrie wishes the fence to be 4 times as long as it is wide.

So,

$x=4y$

Replacing this value into the first equation, we have

$4y=180-2y\\\\
6y=180\\\\
y=30$

Therefore,

$x=(4)(30)=120$

Thus, the length of the dog run is 120ft and the width is 30ft.

The area enclosed will be equal to the length multiplied with the width. So,

$(120)(30)=3600$

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.

How is the series 5+11+17…+251 represented in summation notation?

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Series 5+11+17+...+251

To find:

Summation notation of the given series

Summation Notation:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{k=1}^n a_k}$

Where n is the number of terms and $\displaystyle \large{a_k}$ is general term.

First, determine what kind of series it is, there are two main series that everyone should know:

Arithmetic Series

A series that has common difference.

Geometric Series

A series that has common ratio.

If you notice and keep subtracting the next term with previous term:

11-5 = 6
17-11 = 6

Two common difference, we can in fact say that the series is arithmetic one. Since we know the type of series, we have to find the number of terms.

Now that brings us to arithmetic sequence, we know that first term is 5 and last term is 251, we’ll be finding both general term and number of term using arithmetic sequence:

<u>Arithmetic Sequence</u>

$\displaystyle \large{a_n=a_1+(n-1)d}$

Where $\displaystyle \large{a_n}$ is the nth term, $\displaystyle \large{a_1}$ is the first term and $\displaystyle \large{d}$ is the common difference:

So for our general term:

$\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+(n-1)6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+6n-6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=6n-1}$

And for number of terms, substitute $\displaystyle \large{a_n}$ = 251 and solve for n:

$\displaystyle \large{251=6n-1}\\\displaystyle \large{252=6n}\\\displaystyle \large{n=42}$

Now we can convert the series to summation notation as given the formula above, substitute as we get:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)$
