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

Answer:

  ∠D = 68°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a quadrilateral that is inscribed in a circle, opposite angles are supplementary.

  ∠D = 180° - ∠B

  ∠D = 180° -112°

  ∠D = 68°

What is the smallest number that is divisible by 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10? How do you know? (explain) hurry pls
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The smallest number that is divisible by 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 is 2,520.

Step-by-step explanation:

2520/1 = 2520

2520/2 = 1260

2520/3 = 840

2520/4 = 630

2520/5 = 504

2520/6 = 420

2520/7 = 360

2520/8 = 315

2520/9 = 280

2520/10 = 252

If x^2 - 16 > 0, which of the following must be true?
zimovet [89]
The left hand side of the equation is a difference of two squares and may be factored out as follows,
                              (x - 4)(x + 4) > 0
They may be individually taken as,
                                     x - 4 > 0    ; x > 4
                                     x + 4 > 0   ; x < -4
Thus, the answer to this item is letter A.

Write the recursive rule and the iterative rule for the following sequence: 10, 6, 2, -2, -6
barxatty [35]
The recursive rule is
a_n=a_{n-1}+(-4). 
The iterative rule is
a_n=14-4n

The recursive rule is given by the formula 
a_n=a_{n-1}+d, where d is the common difference.  Our common difference is -4, which gives us the recursive rule above.

The iterative rule begins with the formula
a_n=a_1+d(n-1), where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference.  Our first term is 10 and our common difference is -4:
a_n=10+(-4)(n-1)&#10;\\\text{Using the Distributive Property,}&#10;\\&#10;\\a_n=10+(-4*n)+(-4*-1)&#10;\\&#10;\\a_n=10-4n+4&#10;\\&#10;\\\text{Combining like terms,}&#10;\\&#10;\\a_n=14-4n
