Find S10 for -1 + -7 + -13 + -19

1 answer:

4 0

First we find the common difference...to do this we subtract the first term from the second term. -7 - (-1) = -7 + 1 = -6

now we are going to find the 10th term
an = a1 + (n-1)*d <== formula for finding any term in arithmetic series
a1 = 1st term, d = common difference, n = term we want to find
now we sub
a10 = -1 + (10 -1) * -6
a10 = -1 + (9 * -6)
a10 = -1 - 54
a10 = - 55

now we will find the sum
Sn = (n (a1+ an)) / 2 <== formula for finding the sum
S10 = (10(-1 - 55))/2
S10 = (10(-56) / 2
S10 = -560/2
S10 = - 280

so the sum of the first 10 numbers is -280

Formula

An expression that uses variables to state a rule is a formula

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

An expression that uses variables to state a rule is a formula. It's important to know that formulas uses the equals sign (=) and includes two or more variables. Formulas gives us information that we express symbolically. For example, the well known formula for the volume of a sphere is defined as:

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ V:Volume \ of \ the \ sphere \\ \\ r:Radius \ of \ the \ sphere$

So in this formula we have a relationship between the volume of a sphere and its radius, so if we have information about the radius of it we can easily calculate the volume of it.

Answer CORRECTLY !!!!! Will mark brainliest !!!!

mash [69]

Answer:

g(q) = $\frac{5q}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 7q + 12r = 3q - 4r

Rearrange making r the subject

Add 7q to both sides

12r = 10q - 4r ( add 4r to both sides )

16r = 10q ( divide both sides by 16 )

r = $\frac{10q}{16}$ = $\frac{5q}{8}$ , thus

g(q) = $\frac{5q}{8}$

Find the fourth term of a geometric sequence if a=6 and r=2. Use the formula an=ar^n-1

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

here, we are using an = ar^n-1

so, we have to find a4= ar^4-1 = ar^3

now, putting the given values in the equation,

a4= (6)(2)^3 = 6(8) = 48

therefore, the 4th term is 48.

I have done this question previously on Gauthmath app, you can check that app out, really cool app.

All the best with your exam.

A football field is a rectangle 80 meters wide and 110 meters long. Coach Trevor asks his players to run from one corner to the

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: the distance from one corner of the field to the other corner is 136 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from one corner to the other corner is the diagonal and it

divides the field into two equal right angle triangles. The diagonal represents the hypotenuse of each right angle triangle. The length and width of the rectangle represents the adjacent and opposite sides of the right angle triangle. To determine the length of the diagonal, d, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

d² = 110² + 80²

d² = 12100 + 6400 = 18500

d = √18500

d = 136 meters
