How many positive terms are in an arithmetic progression: 17.2; 17; 16.8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fittoniya [83]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

a = first term = 17.2

tn = last term = 16.8

d= common difference = -0.2

n = number of terms = ?

To find the number of positive terms, we'll use the formula;

tn = a + (n - 1) d

Substituting the figures,

=> 16.8 = 17.2 + (n -1) -0.2

=> 16.8 - 17.2 = (n - 1) - 0.2

=> -0.4 = (n - 1) - 0.2

=> -0.4/-0.2 = n - 1

=> n - 1 = 2

=> n = 3

Therefore, the number of positive terms in the sequence is 3

IT'S URGENT PLEASEE<br><br> What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line 2y = 3x - 10?
belka [17]
<h3>Answer:  perpendicular slope is -2/3</h3>

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

Work Shown:

Solve the given equation for y

2y = 3x - 10

y = (3x-10)/2 ..... divide both sides by 2

y = (3x)/2 - 10/2

y = (3/2)x - 5

The equation is in y = mx+b form with m = 3/2 as the slope.

The perpendicular slope is -2/3 because we flip the fraction and the sign from positive to negative.

Note how multiplying the original slope 3/2 and the perpendicular slope -2/3 leads to -1

(3/2)*(-2/3) = -1

This is true for any pair of perpendicular lines, assuming neither line is vertical.

The last one need the right answer please
Llana [10]

Answer:

Part 1) The unit rate is 16\frac{dollars}{ounce}

Part 2) The unit rate is \frac{1}{4}\frac{dollars}{ounce}

Part 3) The unit rate is \frac{1}{4}\frac{dollars}{ounce}

Part 4) The unit rate is 4\frac{dollars}{ounce}

see the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{d2-d1}{n2-n1}

where

d ----> number of dollars (dependent variable or output value)

n ---> number of ounces (independent variable or input value)

Remember that the slope of the linear equation is the same that the unit rate

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

1) we have

d=16n

This is a proportional relationship between the variables d and n

The slope is

m=16\frac{dollars}{ounce}

therefore

The unit rate is 16\frac{dollars}{ounce}

2) we have

<em>First table</em>

take two points from the table

(4,1) and (16,4)

substitute in the formula of slope

m=\frac{d2-d1}{n2-n1}

m=\frac{4-1}{16-4}

m=\frac{3}{12}\frac{dollars}{ounce}

simplify

m=\frac{1}{4}\frac{dollars}{ounce}

therefore

The unit rate is \frac{1}{4}\frac{dollars}{ounce}

3) we have

n=4d

This is a proportional relationship between the variables d and n

isolate the variable d

d=\frac{1}{4}n

The slope is

m=\frac{1}{4}\frac{dollars}{ounce}

therefore

The unit rate is \frac{1}{4}\frac{dollars}{ounce}

4) we have

<em>Second table</em>

take two points from the table

(1,4) and (2,8)

substitute in the formula of slope

m=\frac{d2-d1}{n2-n1}

m=\frac{8-4}{2-1}

m=4\frac{dollars}{ounce}

therefore

The unit rate is 4\frac{dollars}{ounce}

PLS HELP WILL GIVE BRANLIEST
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

she took 13 classes that were worth 3 credits

Step-by-step explanation:

well we know that some of the classes are worth 3 and some are worth 4 and that all of these together = 59 so your first equation would be

3x+4y=59

x  would be the number of classes worth 3 credits and y would be the number of classes worth 4 credits.

then it says the total number of classes that they took was 18 so we know that

x + y =18.

you want to solve for the number of 3 credit classes so lets go ahead and get rid of the y values. SO you need you multiply the x+y equation by 4

4x+4y=72

then subtract 4x+4y=72  from 3x+4y=59 to get

-x = -13

and then x is a negative so you need to divide -1 from both sides and you get that she took 13 classes that were worth 3 credits.
