Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Sn = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]

Where

n represents the number of terms in the arithmetic sequence.

d represents the common difference of the terms in the arithmetic sequence.

a represents the first term of the arithmetic sequence.

If a = 5, the expression for the sum of the first 12 terms is

S12 = 12/2[2 × 5 + (12 - 1)d]

S12 = 6[10 + 11d]

S12 = 60 + 66d

Also, the expression for the sum of the first 3 terms is

S3 = 3/2[2 × 5 + (3 - 1)d]

S3 = 1.5[10 + 2d]

S3 = 15 + 3d

The sum of the first 12 terms is equal to ten times the sum of the first 3 terms. Therefore,

60 + 66d = 10(15 + 3d)

60 + 66d = 150 + 30d

66d + 30d = 150 - 60

36d = 90

d = 90/36

d = 2.5

For S20,

S20 = 20/2[2 × 5 + (20 - 1)2.5]

S20 = 10[10 + 47.5)

S20 = 10 × 57.5 = 575

What is the answer and how do you do this problem?
nadezda [96]

We want to recast the equation into the standard form equation for a circle centered at (h, k) with radius r. That equation is

... (x -h)² + (y -k)² = r²

Start by completing the square for both x-terms and y-terms.

... x² - 4x + y² + 4y = k

To do that, add the squares of half the coefficients of the x- and y-terms.

... x² - 4x + (-2)² + y² + 4y + 2² = k + (-2)² + 2²

... (x -2)² + (y +2)² = k + 8 = r² . . . . . this is now equal to the square of the radius, so we have

... k + 8 = 6² = 36

Subtracting 8 gives

... k = 28 . . . . . . . matches selection D)

Suppose the movie theater you work at sells popcorn I'm three different sizes. A small cost $2, a medium cost $5, and a large co
VMariaS [17]

Let, number of small, medium and large popcorn sold are s, m and l respectively.

So, s + m + l = 250    ....1)

Also, l = 2s     ....2)

Total sum = $1726 = 2s + 5m + 10l     .....3)

Putting value of l from 2) to 1) is :

s + m + 2s = 250

m + 3s = 250    

m = 250 - 3s      ....4)

Putting value of m and l in terms of s in equation 3)

We get :

2s + 5( 250 - 3s ) + 20s = 1726

7s = 1726 - 1250

s = 68

l = 136

m = 250 -3(68) = 46

Now,

P_s=68\times 2 = \$136\\\\P_m = 46\times 5 = \$230\\\\P_l = 136\times 10 = \$1360

Hence, this is the required solution.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

4E and LA are right angles; therefore, these angles are congruent since all right

angles are congruent. Is - 15 over 5 and 12 over 4shows the corresponding sides are proportional;

therefore, ABC ~ AEDC by the SSS Similarity Postulate.
