Mathematics
1 answer:
IrinaK [193]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Sₙ = n/2 * (2 * a₁ + (n-1) * d)

Sₙ = 500     a₁ = -4    d = 2

500 = n/2 * (-8 + (n-1) * 2) = n/2 * (-8 + 2n - 2) = n/2 * (2n - 10) = n² -5n

n² - 5n -500 = 0

(n - 25) (n + 20) = 0

n > 0

n = 25

The x-axis contains the base of an equilateral triangle RST. The origin is at S. Vertex T has coordinates (2h, 0) and the y-coor
frosja888 [35]
For the first part remember that an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal & all three internal angles are each 60°. <span>So x-coordinate of R is in the middle of ST = (1/2)(2h-0) = h
And for the second </span><span> since this is an equilateral triangle the x coordinate of point R is equal to the coordinate of the midpoint of ST, which you figured out in the previous answer. Hope this works for you</span>

levacccp [35]

Answer:

-2.26 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dog's initial weight be d.

Then, one year later, the dog weighs 3.73 lb less, and thus weighed d - 3.73 lb.  

During the next year, the dog gained 1.47 lb, so now weighs d - 3.73 + 1.47 lb, or

d - 2.26 lb.  This indicates a total weight loss of 2.26 over these two years.
