Answer:

The sum of first 10 terms of the sequence defined by a_n=3n-3 is 135.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : nth term of a sequence as a_n=3n-3

We have to find the sum of first 10 terms of the sequence.

Consider the nth term of a sequence as a_n=3n-3

Then put n = 1  to get the first term

a_1=3(1)-3=0

put n = 2 to get the next term

a_2=3(2)-3=6-3=3

put n = 3 to get the next term

a_3=3(3)-3=9-3=6

put n = 4 to get the next term

a_4=3(4)-3=12-3=9

Thus, the sequence is of the form 0, 3, 6, 9,.....

Thus, the above is an arithmetic sequence with a = 0 and common difference (d) = 3

Thus, Sum of 10 terms is given by

S_n=\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)

n = 10 , a = 0 , d = 3

Put we get,

S_{10}=\frac{10}{2}(2(0)+(10-1)3)

Simplify, we have,

S_{10}=5(9\times 3)

S_{10}=135

Thus, the sum of first 10 terms of the sequence defined by a_n=3n-3 is 135.

which choice could be the equation of a line perpendicular to the line represented by this equation? y=2/5x=2 answers choice A(
ratelena [41]
The slope in y = mx + b form will be in the m position (the number before the x)
y = 2/5x ? 2..here the slope is 2/5.....a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign.
2/5.....flip it....5/2...change the sign...-5/2...so we need a slope of -5/2.

answer C......y = -5/2x + (-3)

Point a pq and r are collinear on pr and pq: pr =2/3. P is located on the origin q is located at (x,y) and r is located at (-12,
dybincka [34]

The values of x and y are  8 and 0 respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

As 'p' is located at (0,0) and 'r'  is located at (-12,0) , that means both 'p' and 'r' are on the x-axis.  So point 'q' will be also on the x-axis , and 'q' is located at (x,y)

So, the value of y will be 0. That means the co ordinate of point 'q' is (x, 0)

Now, using the Distance formula, length of 'pq' = \sqrt{(x-0)^2 +(0-0)^2}= \sqrt{x^2}= x

and length of  'pr'  = \sqrt{(-12-0)^2+(0-0)^2}= \sqrt{144}=12

Given that,   pq : pr =2/3

So....

\frac{x}{12} =\frac{2}{3}\\ \\ 3x=24\\ \\ x= \frac{24}{3}=8

Thus, the values of x and y are  8 and 0 respectively.

Food A contains 150 calories in 3/4 of a serving.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Food B has fewer calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit rate we had to transfer both to have the denominator. To do that we have to find a common denominator both 4 and 3 have. The common denominator is 12. We then use 12 as a denominator and solve. (Sorry I don't really know how to explain.)

Food A=

12 ÷ 4 is 3, 3 × 3  = 9.

9/12

Food B=

12 ÷ 3 = 4, 4 × 2 = 8.

8/12
