Given:

First term of an arithmetic sequence is 2.

Sum of first 15 terms = 292.5

To find:

The common difference.

Solution:

We have,

First term: a=2

Sum of first 15 terms: S_{15}=292.5

The formula of sum of first n terms of an AP is

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Where, a is first term and d is common difference.

Putting S_{15}=292.5, n=15 and a=2 in the above formula, we get

292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[2(2)+(15-1)d]

292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[4+14d]

292.5=15[2+7d]

Divide both sides by 15.

\dfrac{292.5}{15}=2+7d

19.5=2+7d

19.5-2=7d

17.5=7d

Dividing both sides by 7, we get

\dfrac{17.5}{7}=d

2.5=d

Therefore, the common difference is 2.5.

Suppose a 5x8 coefficient matrix for a system has pivot columns. Is the system​ consistent? Why and Why not?
Lyrx [107]

Step-by-step explanation:

All the 5 rows of the coefficient matrix (since it is of order 5×8) will have a pivot position. The augmented matrix obtained by adding a last column of constant terms to the 8 columns of the coefficient matrix will have nine columns and will not have a row of the form [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1]. So the system is consistent.

Find the distance between (10, 12) and (1,0
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The desired distance is 15 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note how x increases from 1 to 10 and y from 0 to 12 at the same time.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find that the distance between the two points is the length of the hypotenuse, which is

d = √[ (10 - 1)^2 + (12 - 0)^2 ],  or  d = √ [81 + 144] = 225 = +15

The desired distance is 15 units.
