Answer:

The first term of the sequence is a = 4

The sum of the first 13 terms is -480

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The third term is: a + 2d = - 8 --- (1)

The \  sum  \ of  \ the \  first \ 10  \ terms  \ is:

-230 = \dfrac{10}{2}[2a+ (10-1)d]

-230 =5[2a+ (9)d]

-230 = 10a + 45d

10a + 45d = -230     ----(2)

From (1) and (2)

a + 2d = - 8

10a + 45d = -230

From (1), let a = -8 - 2d

Replace, the value of a in (1) to equation (2)

10(-8 -2d) + 45d = -230

-80 -20d +45d =-230

25d = -230 + 80

25d = -150

d = -150/25

d = -6

From equation (1);

a + 2(-6) = -8

a -12 = -8

a = -8 + 12

a = 4

Thus,the first term of the sequence a = 4

The \  sum  \ of  \ the \  first \ 13  \ terms  \ is:

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

S_n = \dfrac{13}{2}[2(4)+(13-1)*-6]

S_n =7.5 [8+(12)\times -6]

S_n =7.5 [8-72]

= -480

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

  • <em>The linear equation of the function is: </em>g(P) = 22.9P+7<em>.</em>
  • <em>The inverse function is: </em>g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)<em> .</em>
  • <em>A practical domain is from 0% to 100%</em>
  • <em>A practical range is from 7 to 29.9 </em>

<u>A. Input quantity</u>

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop

<u />

<u>B. Output quantity </u>

The output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

<u>C. The linear function</u>

We have:

(P_1,c_1) = (20\%,11.58)\\(P_2,c_2) = (80\%,25.32)

<em>Calculate the slope of the function</em>

m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}

m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\%-20\%}

m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}

m = 22.9

<em>The linear equation is calculated as follows:</em>

c -c_1 = m(P-P_1)

c -11.58= 22.9(P-20\%)

c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58

<u>D. Rewrite as y = mx + b</u>

We have:

c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58

Collect like terms

c = 22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58

c = 22.9P+7

<em>The function is:</em>

g(P) = 22.9P+7

<u>E. A practical domain</u>

The domain is the possible values of P.  Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

The domain of the function is: [0\%,100\%]

<u>F. A practical range</u>

When P = 0%

c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7

When P = 100%

c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9

Hence, the range of the function is: [7,29.9]

G. The meaning of g^{-1}(12)

The inverse function of g(P) is g^{-1}(P)

So:

g^{-1}(12) is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

<u>H. The inverse formula</u>

We have:

c = 22.9P+7

Subtract 7 from both sides

c - 7 = 22.9P

Make P the subject

P = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)

So, the inverse formula is:

g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)

Substitute 12 for c

g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9}(12 - 7)

g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9} \times 5

g^{-1}(12) = 22\%

-8y=24

We want to isolate y to get the value of 1y. Divide both sides by -8
y= -3

Final answer: y=-3

12.
This is the associative property of addition (D).
It states that when adding three terms, the sum is equal no matter the grouping (parentheses).
