shorter side : longer side = 3 : 7
Equate 3 parts tp 9 inches:
3 parts = 9 inches
Find 1 part:
1 part = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 inches
Find 7 parts:
7 parts = 3 x 7 = 21 inches
Area = Length x Width = 21 x 9 = 189 in²
Answer: The longer side is 21in and the area is 189 in²
Given:
First term of an arithmetic sequence is 2.
Sum of first 15 terms = 292.5
To find:
The common difference.
Solution:
We have,
First term: 
Sum of first 15 terms: 
The formula of sum of first n terms of an AP is
![S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_n%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%5B2a%2B%28n-1%29d%5D)
Where, a is first term and d is common difference.
Putting , n=15 and a=2 in the above formula, we get
![292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[2(2)+(15-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=292.5%3D%5Cdfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%282%29%2B%2815-1%29d%5D)
![292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[4+14d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=292.5%3D%5Cdfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D%5B4%2B14d%5D)
![292.5=15[2+7d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=292.5%3D15%5B2%2B7d%5D)
Divide both sides by 15.
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
Therefore, the common difference is 2.5.
The answer is 95ft
1. Set up an equation 52-x=-43
2. Subtract 52 from both sides -x=43-52
3. Simplify -x=-95
4. x=95
All the best (if you don't understand the equation let me know if you want help)
To find f(5), just look at the table and find the value for x that corresponds with f(5). In this case, this value is -1.
So, your answer is B. -1.
Hope this helps!
