The hover dam contains 3 1/2 millon cubic yards of concrete.The grand coulee dam contains 2 1/2 times as much. How much concrete

Margarita [4]

grand coulee dam (g) contains 2.5 times as much concrete as the hover dam (h)

Therefore,

g = 2.5 * h

h = 3.5 million

g = 2.5 * 3.5

g = 8.75 million yards of concrete

How many terms of the arithmetic sequence {1,22,43,64,85,…} will give a sum of 2332? Show all steps including the formulas used

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

There's a slight problem with your question, but we'll get to that...

Consecutive terms of the sequence are separated by a fixed difference of 21 (22 = 1 + 21, 43 = 22 + 21, 64 = 43 + 21, and so on), so the n-th term of the sequence, a (n), is given recursively by

• a (1) = 1

• a (n) = a (n - 1) + 21 … … … for n > 1

We can find the explicit rule for the sequence by iterative substitution:

a (2) = a (1) + 21

a (3) = a (2) + 21 = (a (1) + 21) + 21 = a (1) + 2×21

a (4) = a (3) + 21 = (a (1) + 2×21) + 21 = a (1) + 3×21

and so on, with the general pattern

a (n) = a (1) + 21 (n - 1) = 21n - 20

Now, we're told that the sum of some number N of terms in this sequence is 2332. In other words, the N-th partial sum of the sequence is

a (1) + a (2) + a (3) + … + a (N - 1) + a (N) = 2332

or more compactly,

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N a(n) = 2332$

It's important to note that N must be some positive integer.

Replace a (n) by the explicit rule:

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N (21n-20) = 2332$

Expand the sum on the left as

$\displaystyle 21 \sum_{n=1}^N n-20\sum_{n=1}^N1 = 2332$

and recall the formulas,

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n1=\underbrace{1+1+\cdots+1}_{n\text{ times}}=n$

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^nk=1+2+3+\cdots+n=\frac{n(n+1)}2$

So the sum of the first N terms of a (n) is such that

21 × N (N + 1)/2 - 20N = 2332

Solve for N :

21 (N ² + N) - 40N = 4664

21 N ² - 19 N - 4664 = 0

Now for the problem I mentioned at the start: this polynomial has no rational roots, and instead

N = (19 ± √392,137)/42 ≈ -14.45 or 15.36

so there is no positive integer N for which the first N terms of the sum add up to 2332.

Days/ cost to rent a truck 1/34 2/50 3/66 4/82 A/ C=16d B/ C= 16d + 18 C/ C= 16d + 16 D/ C=18d + 16

Mamont248 [21]

Use the given information as (x, y) points.
You have
(1, 34)
(2, 50)
(3, 66)
(4, 82)
The difference between renting for 1 day and 2 days is 50 - 34 = 16.
The difference between renting for 2 days and 3 days is 66 - 50 = 16
The difference between renting for 3 days and 4 days is 82 - 66 = 16
For each day you rent you pay $16.
Now look at renting for 1 day.
The rental for 1 day is $16, but for 1 day you pay $34.
$34 - $16 = $18
There is an extra $18 in the rental for every day. The $18 is fixed.
That means, to rent a truck, you must pay a fixed amount of $18 plus $16 per day.

total cost = daily cost + fixed cost
total cost = 16d + 16
c = 16d + 18

Brooke is flying a kite while standing 50 m from the base of a tree at the park. Her Chi is directly above the 10 m tree in the

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

104.127 m

Step-by-step explanation

In the question instead of chi, it would be kite.

Given: Distance of Brooke from the base of tree is 50 meters.

The kite is directly above the 10 m tree in the 125 m string is fully extended.

Lets assume the height of the kite be "x".
