Answer:

111

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequences are linear. That means no matter the pair of points use to calculate slope, or common difference, that number remains constant.

We are given points (1,-12) and (27,66) are on the line.

Calculating slope by subtracting points and then putting 2nd number over 1st.

(27,66)

(1, -12)

-----------subtracting

26 , 78

The slooe or the common difference is 78/26=3.

So now we want to know n such that (42,n) is on this same line.

Let's use the slope formula again with (42,n) and (1,-12).

(42,n)

( 1,-12)

----------subtracting

41 , n+12

The slope is (n+12)/41 but we have also calculated it to be 3 so these expressions are equal.

(n+12)/41=3

Multiply both sides by 41:

n+12=123

Subtract 12 on both sides.

n=111

Answer:

a₄₂ = 107

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₂₇ = 66 , then

a₁ + 26d = 66 , that is

- 12 + 26d = 66 ( add 12 to both sides )

26d = 78 ( divide both sides by 26 )

d = 3

Then

a₄₂ = - 16 + (41 × 3) = - 12 + 123 = 111

Novay_Z [31]
45ml per container, you have 18 of these containers.
Multiply 45 by 18 to get the answers.
That should be 810 ml of hardener.

What is the length of line segment s a? 1.89 ft 2.43 ft 3 ft 7 ft
Slav-nsk [51]

The ratio of the sides will be constant. Then the value of the length of line segment SA will be 3 ft.

The missing diagram is given below.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

The triangles ΔABC and ΔSBT are the similar triangles.

Then the ratio of the sides will be constant.

BS / SA = BT / TC

10 / SA = 9 / 2.7

      SA = 3

Then the value of the length of line segment SA will be 3 ft.
