Answer:

a^n=-9+(n-1).5

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence=a+(n-1)d

a=-9

n=?

d=+5

Arithmetic sequence=-9+(n-1)5

=-9+5n-5

Collect like terms

-9-5+5n

-14+5n

So the final answer is

an=-9+(n-1).5

HELP!!!!!!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLY!!!!!!!

atroni [7]

Answer:

141 $in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium = $\frac{h}{2}$ (a + b)

h = height

a and b = upper and and lower lengths

Area of a trapezium = $\frac{9}{2}$ (10 + 16)

= $\frac{9}{2}$ × 26

= 117 $in^{2}$

Area of a triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × base × height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ × 6 × 8

= $\frac{1}{2}$ × 48

= 24 $in^{2}$

Total area = Sum of the areas of both the shapes

= 117 + 24

= 141 $in^{2}$

What is the area of the red region?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

≈ $57.13cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Circle:

$A =$ π $r^{2}$

π $(4)^{2}$

π (16)

≈ $50.27cm^{2}$

Area of Square:

$A = l(w)$

$8(8) = 64 cm^{2}$

Area of each corner:

$64 - 50.27 = 13.73cm^{2}$

13.73 ÷ 4 ≈ $3.43cm^{2}$

Area of Red:

$50.27 + (3.43(2))$ ≈ $57.13cm^{2}$

What number must you add to complete the square?<br> x^2 + 2x = -1

Andru [333]

$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{You must add 1 to complete the square.}\\\\ \textsf{There is a very common special product: (square of a sum)}\\\\ \mathsf{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2}\\\\\\ \textsf{Take the given equation:}\\\\ \mathsf{x^2+2x=-1\qquad(i)}\\\\\\ \textsf{The first term is a square (x squared)}\\\\ \textsf{The second term is a product of 2, x and 1.} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l}\\\\\\ \textsf{We need to find a proper value for b, so that if we add it to}\\\textsf{the left side of the equation, we get a perfect square.}\\\\ \textsf{So,}\\\\ \begin{array}{cccccccccc} \mathsf{a^2}&\!\!\!+\!\!\!&\mathsf{2}&\!\!\!\cdot\!\!\!&\mathsf{a}&\!\!\!\cdot\!\!\!&\mathsf{b}&\!\!\!+\!\!\!&\mathsf{b^2}&=\mathsf{(a+b)^2}\\\\ \mathsf{\downarrow}&&&\!\!\!\!\!&\downarrow&\!\!\!\!\!&\downarrow&&\downarrow\\\\ \mathsf{x^2}&\!\!\!+\!\!\!&\mathsf{2}&\!\!\!\cdot\!\!\!&\mathsf{x}&\!\!\!\cdot\!\!\!&\mathsf{1}&\!\!\!+\!\!\!&\mathsf{1^2}&=\mathsf{(x+1)^2} \end{array}\\\\\\ \textsf{Just by comparing the expressions above, we can conclude that}\\\textsf{b must be equal to 1, so we get a perfect square:}\\\\ \mathsf{(x+1)^2=x^2+2x+1} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l}\\\\\\ \textsf{Back to (i), adding 1 to both sides:}\\\\ \mathsf{x^2+2x+1=-1+1}\\\\ \boxed{\begin{array}{c} \mathsf{(x+1)^2=0} \end{array}} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l}\\\\\\ \textsf{If you want to solve this equation for x, you will find}\\\\ \mathsf{x+1=0}\\\\ \mathsf{x=-1}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{(solution)} \end{array}$
