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

Lola gets two 20-minute breaks at work each day. She works 5 days a week. How much time does she spend on break each week?
Maslowich

Answer:

200 minutes / 3 hours & 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite simple.

First, since we know that Lola takes two 20 minute breaks at work each day, let's multiply 20 and 2.

20 × 2 = 40

This means she is on break for a total of 40 minutes each day.

Finally, let's take that 40 and multiply it by 5.

40 × 5 = 200

This means she spend 200 minutes (3 hours & 20 mins) on break each week.
