answer: 22

15/7.5 = x/11

cross multiply

7.5x = 165

divide by 7.5 on both sides to get the x alone

7.5x/7.5 = 165/7.5

x = 22

the tree is 22 feet

sorry if it’s wrong

Find an equation for the line parallel to 3y+6X=6 and goes through the point (-3,-7) please write in y=mx+b
seropon [69]

Answer: y=-6x-25

Step-by-step explanation:

Find slope of original line by solving for y

3y+6x=6

y+6x=2

y = -6x+2 <--- we have found the slope is -6

Using y-y1 = m (x-x1) find the equation for the parallel line:

y-(-7)= -6(x-(-3)) <--- plug in the point coordinates and slope into the equation and solve for y

y+7=-6x-18

y=-6x-25

Dont really understand how to do this

Answers:

t_{10} = -22 \ \text{ and } S_{10} = -85

========================================================

Explanation:

t_1 = \text{first term} = 5\\t_2 = \text{first term}-3 = t_1 - 3 = 5-3 = 2

Note we subtract 3 off the previous term (t1) to get the next term (t2). Each new successive term is found this way

t_3 = t_2 - 3 = 2-3 = -1\\t_4 = t_3 - 3 = -1-3 = -4

and so on. This process may take a while to reach t_{10}

There's a shortcut. The nth term of any arithmetic sequence is

t_n = t_1+d(n-1)

We plug in t_1 = 5 \text{ and } d = -3 and simplify

t_n = t_1+d(n-1)\\t_n = 5+(-3)(n-1)\\t_n = 5-3n+3\\t_n = -3n+8

Then we can plug in various positive whole numbers for n to find the corresponding t_n value. For example, plug in n = 2

t_n = -3n+8\\t_2 = -3*2+8\\t_2 = -6+8\\t_2 = 2

which matches with the second term we found earlier. And,

tn = -3n+8\\t_{10} = -3*10+8\\t_{10} = -30+8\\t_{10} = \boldsymbol{-22} \ \textbf{ is the tenth term}

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

The notation S_{10} refers to the sum of the first ten terms t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_9, t_{10}

We could use either the long way or the shortcut above to find all t_1 through t_{10}. Then add those values up. Or we can take this shortcut below.

Sn = \text{sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence}\\S_n = (n/2)*(t_1+t_n)\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(t_1+t_{10})\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(5-22)\\S_{10} = 5*(-17)\\\boldsymbol{S_{10} = -85}

The sum of the first ten terms is -85

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

As a check for S_{10}, here are the first ten terms:

  • t1 = 5
  • t2 = 2
  • t3 = -1
  • t4 = -4
  • t5 = -7
  • t6 = -10
  • t7 = -13
  • t8 = -16
  • t9 = -19
  • t10 = -22

Then adding said terms gets us...

5 + 2 + (-1) + (-4) + (-7) + (-10) + (-13) + (-16) + (-19) + (-22) = -85

This confirms that S_{10} = -85 is correct.
