Answer:

√85

Step-by-step explanation:

for this, you will probably need to draw a graph. Plot the points, and then you will notice that you can draw a triangle with one side being the x-axis ( go on to (-6,0) then drop down unitll you hit the point (-6;-7)

// use the pythagoream theorem to find the length

the distance of the leg on the x-axis is 6 (calculate 0-(-6))

the distance of the leg that is dropping down is -7 (calculate 0-(-7))

then we have 2 legs and need to find the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2

substitute :

6^2 + 7^2 = c^2

36+49 = 85

c= √85

For an arithmetic sequence, a35=57. If the common difference is 5. Find a1 and the sum of the first 61 terms.

Flauer [41]

$\displaystyle\bf\\a_{35}=57\\r=5\\----\\a_1=?\\S_{61}=?\\----\\Solve:\\1)\\a_1=a_{35}-(35-1)\times r=57-34\times 5=57-170=-113\\\boxed{\bf a_1=-113}\\\\$

$\displaystyle\bf\\2)\\A_{61}=a_1+(61-1)\times r=-113+60\times5=-113+300=187\\\\S_{61}=(-113)+(-108)+(-103)+...+(-8)+(-3)+2+7+12+...+187\\\\S_{61}=SA+SB\\\\SA=(-113)+(-108)+(-103)+...+(-8)+(-3)=-(3+8+103+108+113)\\\\n=\frac{113-8}{5}+1=\frac{105}{5}+1=21+1=22~terms\\SA=-\Big( \frac{n(113+3)}{2} \Big)=-\Big( \frac{22\times116}{2} \Big)=-11\times116 =-1276$

$\displaystyle\bf\\SB=2+7+12+...+187\\\\n=\frac{187-2}{5}+1=\frac{185}{5}+1=37+1=38~terms\\\\SB=\frac{n(187+2)}{2}=\frac{38\times189}{2}=19\times189=3591\\\\S_{61}=SA+SB=-1276+3591=2315\\\\\boxed{\bf S_{61}=2315}$
