Answer:

Tn = 64-4n

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is expressed as:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

a is the common difference

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

Given the 6th term a6 = 40

T6 = a+(6-1)d

T6 = a+5d

40 = a+5d ... (1)

Given the 20th term a20 = -16

T20 = a+(20-1)d

T20 = a+19d

-16 = a+19d... (2)

Solving both equation simultaneously

40 = a+5d

-16 = a+19d

Subtracting both equation

40-(-16) = 5d-19d

56 = -14d

d = 56/-14

d = -4

Substituting d = -4 into equation

a+5d = 40

a+5(-4) = 40

a-20 = 40

a = 20+40

a = 60

Given a = 60, d = -4, to get the nth term of the sequence:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

Tn = 60+(n-1)(-4)

Tn = 60+(-4n+4)

Tn = 60-4n+4

Tn = 64-4n

Determine whether x=33 is a solution of the equation below 3= x/11
svp [43]

Answer:

Yes, x = 33 is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if it is a solution, plug in 33 as x

3 = x/11

3 = 33/11

3 = 3

Since this is correct, x = 33 is a solution.

Please help! It’s late! (One question)
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Answer: Both

Explanation: The triangles all have corresponding congruent angles. We can tell this by finding the third angle of the original problem: 96.

Then you can read each triangle by what it states. Angle A is congruent to the corresponding angles in the other triangles, which are Q and T. Angle B is congruent to the corresponding angles in the other triangles, which are R and U. Angle C is congruent to the corresponding angles in the other triangles, which are S and V.

We know heard similar since they have congruent angle measures in corresponding spots.

Two paths each 2m wide run across the middle of a rectangular field. If the area of the cross path is 196m and its length is 60m
Naddik [55]

Answer:

d=2m

Area(A)=196m

l=60m

Now,

A=d(l+b-d)

196=2(60+b-2)

196=2(58+b)

196=116+2b

2b=196-116

2b=80

b=40m

In a word processing document or on a separate piece of paper, use the guide to construct a two column proof proving that lines
ohaa [14]

Answer:

See the proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Statement     </u><u>                                                         </u><u>   Reason</u>

1.∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles     ---           Given  

2. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°     ---                  Linear pair, they are supplementary                                

3. m∠1  and m∠3 are supplementary angles --  m∠1 + m∠3= 180

                                                                              (Supplementary angles add upto 180 degrees)  

4.  m∠1 and m∠3           ------                                 Exterior sides in opposite rays

5.   m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠1 + m∠3  ------                       Transitive property  

6.    m∠2 = m∠3                     --------------                Subtraction  property

7.   l || m  ------------- If two lines are cut by transversal the alternative interior

                               angles are the same, then the lines are paralle.

Thank you.
