Answer:

a = 14 and d = 6.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is given by :

a_n=a+(n-1)d

Where

a is the first term and d is the common difference

ATQ,

An arithmetic sequence has the 7th term of 54 and the 13th term of 94 i.e.

a+6d=54\ ......(1)\\\\a+12d=94\ ........(2)

Subtract equation (2) from (1).

a+6d-(a+12d) = 54-94

a+6d-a-12d = -40

-6d = -40

d = 6.67

Put the value of d in equation (1).

a+6(6.666)=54\\\\a=54-39.96\\\\a=14.04

or

a = 14

Hence, the first term is 14 and the common difference is 6.67.

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at 75 miles per
Alisiya [41]

Let the time = x

Distance = Speed x time

One train is 75x, the other train 85x

Add together to equal total distance:

75x + 85x = 384

Simplify:

160x = 384

Divide both sides by 160:

x = 384 / 160

x = 2.4 hours

I need help I’m bad at math

If you'd graph this function, you'd see that it's positive on [-1.5,0], and that it's possible to inscribe 3 rectangles on the intervals [-1.5,-1), (-1,-0.5), (-0.5, 1].

The width of each rect. is 1/2.

The heights of the 3 inscribed rect. are {-2.25+6, -1+6, -.25+6} = {3.75,5,5.75}.

The areas of these 3 inscribed rect. are (1/2)*{3.75,5,5.75}, which come out to:

{1.875, 2.5, 2.875}

Add these three areas together; you sum will represent the approx. area under the given curve on the given interval:  1.875+2.5+2.875 = ?
