Find the 3rd term of an arithmetic sequence with t5 = 3 and t7 = 7.

1 answer:

7 0

Tn=t1+d(n-1)
t5-t7=2d
7-3=4
2d=4
d=2

tn=t1+2(n-1)
t5=3
3=t1+2(5-1)
3=t1+2(4)
3=t1+8
minus 8
-5=t1

tn=-5+2(n-1)
t3=-5+2(3-1)
t3=-5+2(2)
t3=-5+4
t3=-1

3rd term is -1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

where a = x

b = 8/2 = 4

c = √20

plugin values into the formula:

x² + 4² = (√20)²

x² + 16 = 20

x² = 20 - 16

x = √4

x = 2

Find the perimeter of the parallelogram with these vertices.

Check the picture below.

so we can say that two sides are "4" each in length, since opposite sides are equal, let's find how long the slanted sides are.

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[3 - (-4)]^2 + [5 - 2]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3+4)^2+3^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{49+9}\implies d=\sqrt{58} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{\Large Perimeter}}{4~~ + ~~4~~ + ~~\sqrt{58}~~ + ~~\sqrt{58}\implies 8+2\sqrt{58}}$
