Answer:

d = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a7 = -9

a19 = 39

We know the formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1+d(n-1)

Using the givens:

a7 = -9 = a1 +d(7-1)

a19 = 39 =a1 +d(19-1)

Subtracting these equations

-9 = a1 +d(6)

39 =a1 +d(18)

------------------------

-48 = 0 -12 d

Divide by -12

4 =d

Anybody know how to do this, it's about angles.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

45°+90°+60°+X°=360° (being complete angle)

or,195°+X°=360°

or,X°=360°-195°

or,X°=165°

Therefore,valueof X is 165°.

what is the y-intercept of the line perpendicular to the line y=-3/4x+5 that includes the point (-3,-3)?

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, your friend is the point-slope form.

Point-slope form = $y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

The only variables you replace are m = slope, y1 = y of a given point, and x1 = x of a given point.

First, we need to find the slope that is perpendicular to the equation $y=-\frac{3}{4}x+5$

An equation that is perpendicular to another equation have to be negative reciprocals (negative inverse) of each other.

If the slope is 3, then the negative reciprocal of 3 is $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

So, since the given slope is -3/4, the negative reciprocal is $\frac{4}{3}$ .

We will use the negative reciprocal as m since we are trying to find the equation of line that includes (-3, -3) and is perpendicular to the other equation.

We will use point slope form using the (-3, -3) points and negative reciprocal as m.

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y-(-3) = \frac{4}{3} (x-(-3))\\y+3=\frac{4}{3}(x+3)$

Now, we need to convert this into slope-intercept form. The reason why we need to do this is because y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept. To do this, solve for y - or in other words, isolate y..

$y+3=\frac{4}{3}(x+3)\\y+3=\frac{4x}{3}+4\\y+3-3=\frac{4x}{3}+4-3\\y=\frac{4}{3}x+1$

The y-intercept of the line is 1.

Help!! Can someone explain this to me I’m not getting it.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

A. 99 sq cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of geometric shape

= 2 times the area of one triangle with base a and height c

+ 2 times the area of one triangle with base c and height b

+ Area of rectangle with dimensions a and c.

$= 2 \times \frac{1}{2} ac + 2 \times \frac{1}{2} bc + ac \\ \\ = ac + bc + ac \\ \\ = 2ac + bc \\ \\ = 2(13)(3) + 7(3) \\ \\ = 78 + 21 \\ \\ = 99 \: sq \: cm$
