Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the side adjacent to the angle. However, we do not have the measure of the hypotenuse given to us. This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. Our sides have lengths of 5 and 12.

5²+12²=c²

25+144=c²

c²=169

We square root both sides

c=13

Now, we take our hypotenuse (13) and we put it over the adjacent side to angle L, which is 5.

Therefore, the secant is B) 13/5.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

An arithmetic progression is simply a progression with a common difference among consecutive terms.

The sum of multiplies of 6 between 8 and 70 is 390
The sum of multiplies of 5 between 12 and 92 is 840
The sum of multiplies of 3 between 1 and 50 is 408
The sum of multiplies of 11 between 10 and 122 is 726
The sum of multiplies of 9 between 25 and 100 is 567
The sum of the first 20 terms is 630
The sum of the first 15 terms is 480
The sum of the first 32 terms is 3136
The sum of the first 27 terms is -486
The sum of the first 51 terms is 2193

(a) Sum of multiples of 6, between 8 and 70

There are 10 multiples of 6 between 8 and 70, and the first of them is 12.

This means that:

$\mathbf{a = 12}$

$\mathbf{n = 10}$

$\mathbf{d = 6}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{10} = \frac{10}2(2*12 + (10 - 1)6)}$

$\mathbf{S_{10} = 390}$

(b) Multiples of 5 between 12 and 92

There are 16 multiples of 5 between 12 and 92, and the first of them is 15.

This means that:

$\mathbf{a = 15}$

$\mathbf{n = 16}$

$\mathbf{d = 5}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{16} = \frac{16}2(2*15 + (16 - 1)5)}$

$\mathbf{S_{16} = 840}$

(c) Multiples of 3 between 1 and 50

There are 16 multiples of 3 between 1 and 50, and the first of them is 3.

This means that:

$\mathbf{a = 3}$

$\mathbf{n = 16}$

$\mathbf{d = 3}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{16} = \frac{16}2(2*3 + (16 - 1)3)}$

$\mathbf{S_{16} = 408}$

(d) Multiples of 11 between 10 and 122

There are 11 multiples of 11 between 10 and 122, and the first of them is 11.

This means that:

$\mathbf{a = 11}$

$\mathbf{n = 11}$

$\mathbf{d = 11}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{16} = \frac{11}2(2*11 + (11 - 1)11)}$

$\mathbf{S_{11} = 726}$

(e) Multiples of 9 between 25 and 100

There are 9 multiples of 9 between 25 and 100, and the first of them is 27.

This means that:

$\mathbf{a = 27}$

$\mathbf{n = 9}$

$\mathbf{d = 9}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{9} = \frac{9}2(2*27 + (9 - 1)9)}$

$\mathbf{S_{9} = 567}$

(f) Sum of first 20 terms

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{a = 3}$

$\mathbf{d = 3}$

$\mathbf{n = 20}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{20} = \frac{20}2(2*3 + (20 - 1)3)}$

$\mathbf{S_{20} = 630}$

(f) Sum of first 15 terms

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{a = 4}$

$\mathbf{d = 4}$

$\mathbf{n = 15}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{15} = \frac{15}2(2*4 + (15 - 1)4)}$

$\mathbf{S_{15} = 480}$

(g) Sum of first 32 terms

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{a = 5}$

$\mathbf{d = 6}$

$\mathbf{n = 32}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{32} = \frac{32}2(2*5 + (32 - 1)6)}$

$\mathbf{S_{32} = 3136}$

(g) Sum of first 27 terms

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{a = 8}$

$\mathbf{d = -2}$

$\mathbf{n = 27}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{27} = \frac{27}2(2*8 + (27 - 1)*-2)}$

$\mathbf{S_{27} = -486}$

(h) Sum of first 51 terms

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{a = -7}$

$\mathbf{d = 2}$

$\mathbf{n = 51}$

The sum of n terms of an AP is:

$\mathbf{S_n = \frac n2(2a + (n - 1)d)}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{S_{51} = \frac{51}2(2*-7 + (51 - 1)*2)}$

$\mathbf{S_{51} = 2193}$

Whats 1/7 + 3/4 ? Please help me?

Katen [24]

Answer:

25/28

Step-by-step explanation:

28 is the greatest common factor, found by multiplying 7 by 4 (the denominators)

1/7 = 4/28

3/4 = 21/28

21/28 + 4/28 = 25/28
