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

Supposed a Visa card had a credit card number of 4162 0012 3456789a where a is the check number what is the check number? A) 0 B
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Option B) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the number

4162 0012 3456 789a

<u><em>Find the value of a (check number)</em></u>

step 1

Multiply every even-position digit (when counted from the right) in the number by two. If the result is a two digit number, then add these digits together to make a single digit

4162 0012 3456 789a

9(2)+7(2)+5(2)+3(2)+1(2)+0(2)+6(2)+4(2)

(18)+(14)+(10)+(6)+(2)+(0)+(12)+(8)

Remember that If the result is a two digit number, then add these digits together to make a single digit

so

(1+8)+(1+4)+(1+0)+(6)+(2)+(0)+(1+2)+(8)

(9)+(5)+(1)+(6)+(2)+(0)+(3)+(8)=34

step 2

add every odd-position digit

4162 00123456 789a

so

8+6+4+2+0+2+1=23

step 3

Adds  the result in step 1 and the result in step 2

34+23=57

The check-digit is what number needs to be added to this total to make the next multiple of 10

In our case, we’d need to add 3 to make 60

therefore

The check number is 3
