Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Start by looking at the 'distance' (number of spaces) between 1 and 10

a = 1

l = 10

n of terms = 4

L_4 = 10

a = 1

Equation

L_4 = a + (n - 1)*d

10 = 1 + (4 - 1)*d

10 - 1 = 3d

9 = 3d

9/3 = d

d = 3

So the terms you get from 1 to 10

1  4   7 10

Discussion

But we actually started at 1, not -11. Let's fill in the 3 blanks leading up to 1

-11 ____ ____ ____ 1

a = - 11

t = 5

L= 1

1 = - 11 + (5 - 1) d

1 = -11 + 4d                Add 11

1+ 11 = 4d

12 = 4d

12/4 = d

d = 3

======================

Could we have done this more directly. Yes, we could have

a = - 11

t = 8       There are 8 terms in all.

L_8 = 10

L_9 = a + (n-1)d

10 = - 11 + (8-1)d

10+11 = 7d

21 = 7d

21/7 = d

d = 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the COMMON DIFFERENCE, subtract the 2nd term and the first term.

a1 = -4

a2 = -2

Let "d" representing the COMMON DIFFERENCE.

d = -2 -(-4)

d = -2 + 4

d = 2

ANSWER:

THE COMMON DIFFERENCE OF THIS SEQUENCE IS 2

\frac{1}{3} (n + 15) = -2

First, replace the numerator with the parentheses.
\frac{n+15}{3} =-2
Second, multiply both sides by 3.
n + 15 = -2 * 3
Third, multiply 2 × 3 to get 6.
n + 15 = -6
Fourth, take away 15 from each side.
n = -6 - 15
Fifth, simplify -6 - 15 to get -21.
n = -21

Answer: n = -21

PLZ HLP! A dog is leashed to the corner of a house. How much running area does the dog have? Round your answer to the nearest sq
nadezda [96]

The area of a circle is area = pi x r^2

The full area = 3.14 x 20^2 = 1256 square feet.

The corner forms a 90 degree angle so the dirt area is 3/4 of a full circle.

Answer = 1256 x 3/4 = 942 square feet

Using the Kinetic Molecular Theory, explain Charles's Law of gases. Refer to specific points of the
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Kinetic theory explains why the volume of a container must expand when the temperature of the gas inside increases in order for the pressure to remain constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles' law: for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure the volume is directly proportional to the temperature.

Analysis of a gas when its temperature increases according to kinetic theory:

The temperature has increased therefore the molecules have more kinetic energy, so they move with a greater velocity.¹

If the container's dimensions do not change the molecules will travel across the container between the walls in less time (because they are moving faster and covering the same distance between the container walls). This will increase the rate of collisions, which would increase the pressure.²

But if the dimensions of the container increased then the molecules would cover a larger distance faster thereby maintaining a constant rate of collisions. This would maintain a constant pressure.
