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

Cual es la derivada de ()=√x sin
fgiga [73]

Answer:

f(x) =\sqrt{x} sin (x)

And on this case we can use the product rule for a derivate given by:

\frac{d}{dx} (f(x)* g(x)) = f'(x) g(x) +f(x) g'(x)

Where f(x) =\sqrt{x} and g(x) =sin (x)

And replacing we have this:

f'(x)= \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} sin (x) + \sqrt{x}cos(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the function of interest is:

f(x) =\sqrt{x} sin (x)

And on this case we can use the product rule for a derivate given by:

\frac{d}{dx} (f(x)* g(x)) = f'(x) g(x) +f(x) g'(x)

Where f(x) =\sqrt{x} and g(x) =sin (x)

And replacing we have this:

f'(x)= \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} sin (x) + \sqrt{x}cos(x)

) a pair of fair dice is rolled. what is the probability that the sum of the top faces is a number 10 or greater?
andrezito [222]
Possible number combinations are 1,1  2,1  3,1  4,1  5,1  6,1  1,2  2,2  3,2  4,2  5,2  6,2  1,3  2,3  3,3  4,3  5,3  6,3  1,4  2,4  3,4  4,4  5,4  6,4  1,5  2,5  3,5  4,5  5,5  6,5  1,6  2,6  3,6  4,6  5,6 and 6,6. of those 36 number combinations the ones that add up to more than 10 include: 4,6  5,5  5,6  6,4  6,5  6,6. thats 6 number combinations. 6/36 of the possible sums of the top faces equal out to 10 or more. 6/36=1/6=0.166666666666666666666666(repeating) and to put that in a percentage, 16.7%
the probability is 16.7%

Where are the asymptotes of f(x) = tan(4x − π) from x = 0 to x = pi over 2 ?
vladimir1956 [14]
tan(4x- \pi )= \frac{sin(4x- \pi )}{cos(4x- \pi )}

The asymptotes are where the graph is undefined. Since: tan(x) =sin(x)/cos(x)
It is where cos(4x-π) = 0

cos(4x-π) = 0 when the inside is -π/2 , π/2 , 3π/2

4x - π = π/2
4x = π/2 + π
4x = 3π/2
x = 3π/8

4x - π = 3π/2
4x = 3π/2 + π
4x = 5π/2
x = 5π/8
This ones outside the interval (5π/8 > π/2) , try -π/2

4x - π = -π/2
4x = -π/2 + π
4x = π/2
x = π/8

Asymptotes are π/8 and 3π/8
