If the first term in an arithmetic sequence is –3 and the tenth term is 15, what is the common difference?

Mathematics

Triss [41]3 years ago

Given that the First term of the Arithmetic sequence = -3

⇒ a = -3

We know that nth term of a Arithmetic sequence is : Tn = a + (n - 1)d

where a is the first term and d is the common difference

Given that 10th term is 15

⇒ T₁₀ = -3 + (10 - 1)d

⇒ -3 + (10 - 1)d = 15

⇒ 9d = 18

⇒ d = 2

⇒ Common difference of given Arithmetic Sequence is 2

Answer:

the volume of the cone would be approximately 490.09 m^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is pir^2h/3

So it would be pi*6^2*13/3

=pi*36*13/3

=pi*156

=490.09

Therefore, the volume of the cone would be approximately 490.09 m^3.

I hope this helped and have a good rest of your day!

What happens to the mode of the data set shown below if the number 8 is added to the data set?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

c

Show that every triangle formed by the coordinate axes and a tangent line to y = 1/x ( for x &gt; 0)
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given a point (x_0,y_0) the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the  given point is

y-y_0 = m(x-x_0) or equivalently

y = mx+(y_0-mx_0).

Recall that a line of the form y=mx+b, the y intercept is b and the x intercept is \frac{-b}{m}.

So, in our case, the y intercept is (y_0-mx_0) and the x  intercept is \frac{mx_0-y_0}{m}.

In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph (x_0,\frac{1}{x_0}). Which means that y_0=\frac{1}{x_0}

The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at x_0. Using the properties of derivatives, we get

y' = \frac{-1}{x^2}. So evaluated at x_0 we get m = \frac{-1}{x_0^2}

Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is

(y_0-mx_0) = (\frac{1}{x_0}-(\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0)) = \frac{2}{x_0}

The x intercept is

\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m} = \frac{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0-\frac{1}{x_0}}{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}} = 2x_0

The triangle in consideration has height \frac{2}{x_0} and base 2x_0. So the area is

\frac{1}{2}\frac{2}{x_0}\cdot 2x_0=2

So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.
