What is the first term for an arithmetic sequence with a12 = 56 and a21=101?

The first term is -43.

Explanation:

an = a + (n - 1)d

a12 = a + 11d = 56, first equation
a21 = a + 20d = 101, second equation

Subtract the second equation from the first equation, cancelling +a and -a
11d - 20d = 56 - 101
-9d = -45
d = 5

Subtitute d into the first equation
a + 99 = 56
a = -43

a refers to the first term, hence the first term is -43.

A wheel with radius 1 foot makes 1 revolution in 4 seconds. What is the linear velocity, in feet per second, of a point on the e
3241004551 [841]

Radius = r = 1 foot

Angular velocity = w = 1 revolutions in 4 seconds

So,

w = 0.25 revolutions per second

Since,

1 revolution = 2π radians

We can write the above equation as:

w = 0.25 x 2π radians per second = 0.5π radians per second

Linear Velocity = v = r w

Using the values, we can write:

v = 1 x 0.5π  

= 0.5 π

= π/2 feet per second

Therefore, the correct answer is option B

Find the leg of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse is 5 square root 6
kozerog [31]
Hypotenuse = 5√6

Let the length of each leg be x, since it is Isosceles .

x² + x² = (5√6)²

2x² = (5 * 5 * √6 * √6)

2x² = 150

x² = 150/2

x² = 75

x = √75

x = √(25 * 3)

x = √25 * √3

x = 5√3
