The 10th and the 20th term of an arithmetic sequence are 10 and 40, respectively. Find its 100th term.

1 answer:

7 0

A 10 = 10;
a 20 = 40;
a n = a 1 + ( n - 1) * r => 10 = a 1 + 9 * r, and, 40 = a 1 + 19 * r => 30 = 10 * r => r = 3 => a 1 = 10 - 27 => a 1 = -17;
a 100 = a 1 + 99 * r => a 100 = - 17 + 99 * 3 => a 100 = -17 + 297 => a 100 = 280.

What are the zeros of f(x)=x^2+x-20?

zzz [600]

F(x) = x² + x - 20 = x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = x(x + 5) - 4(x + 5) = (x + 5)(x - 4)

f(x) = 0 ⇔ (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0 ⇔ x + 5 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -5 or x = 4

Answer: C. x = -5 and x = 4.
