Answer:
The first three terms are -30, -27 and -24
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for nth term of a arithmetic series is given by:
aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d
Substitute n = 16 in the given equation:
a₁₆ = a₁ + (16 - 1)d
Where aₙ = a₁₆ = 15. Substitute in the given equation
15 = a₁ + 15d ⇒ Equation (i)
Sum of arithmetic sequence is given by:
Sₙ = n(a₁ + aₙ) / 2
Substitute n = 16 in the above equation:
S₁₆ = 16(a₁ + a₁₆) / 2
Where S₁₆= -120 and a₁₆=15, substitute:
-120 = 16(a₁ + 15)/2
-240 = 16(a₁ +15)
-15 = a₁ + 15
a₁ = -30
Substitute it in Equation (i)
15 = a₁ + 15d
15 = -30 + 15d
15d = 15+30
d = 45/15
d = 3
So
a₁ = -30
a₂ = a₁ + (2-1)d
a₂ = -30 + 3
a₂ = -27
a₃ = a₁ + (3-1)d
a₃ = a₁ + 2d
a₃ = -30 + 2(3)
a₃ = -30 +6
a₃ = -24
Answer:
none of the above.
Please discuss this question with your teacher.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement tells you that the appropriate interpretation of the point (12, 16) is that <em>the outline of the mountain on the mural is 16 feet from the ground at a point 12 feet from the edge of the mural</em>.
__
There is no information about the base of the mountain or its maximum height, so no conclusions can be drawn regarding those parameters.

Answer:
153.158 ; 177.642
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following:
Sample mean (m) = 165.40
Sample standard deviation (s) = 21.70
Sample size (n) = 17
α = 98%
Confidence interval = m ± z(SE)
z at 98% = 2.326
SE = s/√n
SE = 21.70/√17 = 5.2630230
Hence,
Confidence interval = 165.40 ± 2.326(5.2630230)
165.40 - 12.241791498 OR 165.40 + 12.241791498
153.158 ; 177.642
