Answer:

First term a = 3

Sum of first 20 term = 440

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

8th term of AP = 17

12th term of AP = 25

Find:

First term a

Sum of first 20 term

Computation:

8th term of AP = 17

a + 7d = 17 ....... EQ1

12th term of AP = 25

a + 11d = 25 ...... EQ2

From EQ1 and EQ2

4d = 8

d = 2

a + 7d = 17

a + 7(2) = 17

First term a = 3

Sum of first 20 term

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

S20 = [20/2][(2)(3) + (20-1)2]

S20 = [10][(6) + 38]

S20 = [10][44]

S20 = 440

Sum of first 20 term = 440

Which equation is equivalent to the formula below? <br> Y = A ( X - H) ^2 + K
frozen [14]

Answer:

<em>B. a = y - k/(x-h)² </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression y = a (x-h)² + k

First make  a the subject of the formula

Subtract k from both sides

y = a (x-h)² + k

y- k = a (x-h)² + k - k

y - k = a (x-h)²

Divide through by (x-h)²

y - k/(x-h)²  = a

a = y - k/(x-h)²

Hence option B is correct
