The fourth term of an arithmetic

Mathematics
1 answer:
yulyashka [42]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given AP where:</u>

  • a₄ = 2a₂ - 1
  • a₆ = 7

<u>To find</u>

  • a₁ = ?

<u>Since</u>

  • a₄ = a₁ + 3d
  • a₂ = a₁ + d
  • a₆ = a₁ + 5d

<u>Initial equations will change as:</u>

  • a₁ + 3d = 2(a₁ + d) - 1  ⇒  a₁ + 3d = 2a₁ + 2d - 1 ⇒ a₁ = d + 1
  • a₁ + 5d = 7 ⇒ a₁ = 7 - 5d

<u>Comparing the above:</u>

  • d + 1 = 7 - 5d
  • 6d = 6
  • d = 1

<u>Then:</u>

  • a₁ = d + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
  • a₁ = 2

The first term is 2

What are the excluded values of x for
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = \frac{x^2-9x}{x^2-7x-18}

The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.

x² - 7x - 18 = 0

(x - 9)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

The excluded values are x = - 2, x = 9

What is the solution of sqrt (x-4)+5=2
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>sqrt (x-4) + 5 = 2</em>

<em>The equation is √(x+4) + 5 = 2</em>

√(x-4) = 2 - 5

√(x-4) = -3

x-4 = (-3)²

x-4 = 9

x = 9 + 4

x = 13

Therefore, the second option x = 13 is correct.
