The given sequence is
a₁, a₂, ...,

Because the given sequence is an arithmetic progression (AP), the equation satisfied is

where
d = the common difference.
The common difference may be determined as
d = a₂ - a₁
The common difference is the difference between successive terms, therefore
d = a₃ - a₂ = a₄ - a₃, and so on..
The sum of the first n terms is

Example:
For the arithmetic sequence
1,3,5, ...,
the common difference is d= 3 - 1 = 2.
The n-th term is

For example, the 10-term is
a₁₀ = 1 + (10-1)*2 = 19
Th sum of th first 10 terms is
S₁₀ = (10/2)*(1 + 19) = 100
Answer:
≈ 20.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle is formed between the wall, the ground and the ladder.
The ladder is the hypotenuse , the wall and ground are the legs.
let h be the height of the wall, then using Pythagoras' identity
h² + 33² = 39²
h² + 1089 = 1521 ( subtract 1089 from both sides )
h² = 432 ( take the square root of both sides )
h =
≈ 20.8 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
It will take him 80 minutes, or an hour and 20 minutes
Answer:
No, it is not
Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line. A linear function has one independent variable and one dependent variable. The independent variable is x and the dependent variable is y.
