morpeh [17]4 years ago

Answer:

The first term is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is 142  - 140 = 2 so we have

50th term = a1 + 2(50 -1) = 140    where a1 is the first term

a1 + 98 = 140

a1 = 140 - 98 =  42.

from 2002 to 2012, the number of a particular make of cars sold at a dealership yearly declined to 500. The number is expected t
Alinara [238K]
To determine the number of cars that will be sold by the year 2020, we will use the equation,

     N = (N1)(1 - r)^(t)

where N1 is the starting number of cars, r is the rate of the decrease, and t is the number of years from 2012. Substituting the konwn values,

   N = (500)(1 - 0.028)^(8)
    N = 398.38

The closest integer to the calculated value is 398. Thus, the answer is 398 cars.

My guess is that you're doing the Law of Cosines? You have everything you need for that except the angle theta, which is the thing you need to find.  It's set up like this: (8)^2 = (10)^2 + (5)^2 -[2(10)(5)cos A]  I used A instead of theta. Doing that math, you have: 64 = 100 + 25 -[ 100 cos A]; 64 = 125 - 100 cos A;
-61 = - 100 cos A; -61 / -100 = cos A; .61 = cos A. Now use your inverse function on your calculator to find cos^-1(.61) and that equals 52.4
