In an A.P,the sum of first ten terms is -150 and the sum of next 10 terms is -550.Find the A.P

1 answer:

4 0

S10 = -150;
<span> the sum of next 10 terms = S20 - S10 => -550 = S20 + 150 => S20 = -700;
</span>S10 = -150 => 2a1 + 9r = -30;
S20 = -700 => 2a1 + 19r = -70;
Then 10r = -40 => r = -4 , and, 2a1 -36 = -30 => 2a1 = 6 => a1 = 3;

Your car lease requires a down payment of $1,500 and payments of $450 per month for 36 months. the apr is 6% compounded monthly

Svetach [21]

Monthly interest, i = APR/12 = 0.06/12 = 0.005
Monthly payment, A = $450
Period, n = 36 (months)
Future value of payment
= A((1+i)^n-1)/i
= 450((1.005^36-1)/0.005
= 17701.2472341
Future value of car
F = future value of payment + residual value
= 17701.2472341 + 20000
= 37701.2472341

Present value of car
= downpayment + present value of future payments
= 1500 + F/(1+i)^36
= 1500 + 37701.2472341/(1.005^36)
= 1500 + 31504.86
= 33004.86

Two gears are connected and are rotating simultaneously. The smaller gear has a radius of 3 inches, and the larger gear has a ra

Dovator [93]

Circumference of a circle is C = 2πr.

part 1)

so the radius of the smaller gear is 3 inches, so after a full rotation, namely a revolution, the smaller gear has covered an arc of 2π(3), or 6π.

what angle has the larger gear of 7 inches in radius, has it covered with an arc of 6π?

$\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=r\theta ~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad radians\\
------\\
s=6\pi \\
r=7
\end{cases}\implies 6\pi =7\theta \implies \cfrac{6\pi }{7}=\theta$

part 2)

since the larger gear has a radius of 7, in a revolution it will have an arc of 2π(7), or 14π.

now, we know the smaller gear does a 6π arc in a revolution, how many revolutions will it do in an arc of 14π?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
arc&revolution\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
6\pi &1\\
14\pi &x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{6\pi }{14\pi }=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{7}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{7}{3}$
