Answer:

Tn = -4n²+40n+36

Step-by-step explanation:

A general quadratic sequence, Tn = an²+bn+c, where n is the term of the sequence.

So, when n = 1, Tn = 72, which means T1 = a+b+c=72.

when n = 2, Tn = 100, which means T2= 4a+2b+c = 100

when n = 3, Tn = 132, which means T3 = 9a+3b+c = 132.

Now, use a calcaulatot to solve the 3 variable simultaneous equation. According to my calculator, a = -4, b = 40, c = 36.

Hence, you a, b, and c in the Tn equation given above.

Therefore, <em>Tn = -4n²+40n+36</em>

Write an equation in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to 3x + 2y equals 12 and passes through the point (1,2)

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The equation is y = (2/3)x + (4/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to change the equation into slope-intecept formula to find its gradient (slope) :

$3x + 2y = 12$

$2y = - 3x + 12$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}x + 6$

Given that when a line is perpendicular to the other line, their slope value multiplied, will form -1. Next, we have to find the slope for line :

$m1 \times m2 = - 1$

$- \frac{3}{2} \times m2 = - 1$

$m2 = - 1 \div - \frac{3}{2}$

$m2 = \frac{2}{3}$

Lastly, we have to subatitute the x and y values into the equation, to find its intercept value :

$y = \frac{2}{3}x + b$

$let \: x = 1,y = 2$

$2 = \frac{2}{3} (1) + b$

$b = 2 - \frac{2}{3}$

$b = \frac{4}{3}$

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{4}{3}$

GIVING CROWN IS RIGHT!!!!!!

All you have to do is multiply the l * w = Area

When you look at 26 ft and 15 ft, 21 ft and 10 ft, 29 ft and 18 ft, you'd know it wouldn't work since it's over 180.

So the dimensions of the ceiling are l = 20 ft; w = 9 ft
