Answer:a=first term

d=common difference

here,a=85,d=-7

tn=a+(n-1)d

tn=85+(n-1)-7

tn=85+(7n+7)

92-7n=0

7n=92

n=92/7

n=13.14

n=13

Sn=(n/2)(2a+(n-1)d)

sn=13/2(2*85+(13-1)(-7)

sn=(170+(12*-7)

sn=170-84

sn=13/2*86

sn=559

Step-by-step explanation:looks like it is 7 minus previous number. So, unfortunately 7 does not divide into 85 nicely. 7*12 = 84. So, how every many numbers there are — does it stop at positive numbers only? If not, then it is negative infinity… .

85+78+71+64+57+50+43+36+29+22+15+8+1 = 559

p.s. I tried to be clever with summations (there are 13 numbers) and ran into trouble. Probably the ‘1’ at the end or the 85 at the beginning ... … 7*(summation of 1 to 13) plus an offset to account for the not divisible by 12 exactly. Didn’t work, and it was easier to just do the subtractions and add them together.

Answer:

x=6/11

x≈0.545

Step-by-step explanation:

They are corresponding angles, so their measurements are congruent to each other. Therefore, you can set them equal to each other and solve for x:

19x+6=30x

6=11x

6/11=x

x=6/11

x≈0.545

Determine the intercepts of the line that correspond to the following table of values
almond37 [142]
Find the equation

alrighty, the slope is rise/run

from (21,-3) to (28,-1)
rise is from -3 to -1 or a rise of 2
run is form 21 to 28 or a run of 7


so slope is 2/7

y=2/7x+b
find b which is the y intercept
alirhgty
use (21,-3)
x=21 and y=-3
-3=(2/7)(21)+b
-3=42/7+b
-3=6+b
-9=b

y=2/7x-9

the y intercept is (0,-9
the x intercept is where y=0

0=2/7x-9
9=2/7x
63/2=x

x intercept is (63/2,0) or (31.5,0)
y intercept is (0,-9)

M is directly proportional to r3<br>When r = 4, M = 160<br>a) Work out the value of M when r = 2.​
Natali [406]

Answer:

M = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M is directly proportional to r³ then the equation relating them is

M = kr³ ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when r = 4, M = 160, that is

160 = k × 4³ = 64k (divide both sides by 64 )

2.5 = k

M = 2.5r³ ← equation of proportion

When r = 2, then

M = 2.5 × 2³ = 2.5 × 8 = 20
