Answer:
fifth term
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an AP is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₃ = 4 and a₉ = - 8 , then
a₁ + 2d = 4 → (1)
a₁ + 8d = - 8 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2)
6d = - 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
d = - 2
Substitute d = - 2 into (1)
a₁ + 2(- 2) = 4
a₁ - 4 = 4 ( add 4 to both sides )
a₁ = 8
Thus equating the n th term formula to zero and solving for n
8 - 2(n - 1) = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
- 2(n - 1) = - 8 ( divide both sides by - 2
n - 1 = 4 ( add 1 to both sides )
n = 5
The fifth term is equal to zero
Answer:
An artist use 51.9 feet of string for constructing a piece of art in the shape of rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Here an artist is constructing a piece of art in the shape of rectangle having length 12 feet & width of 7 feet
Since the artist wants to use string to tightly tie each vertex of rectangle to the other three vertices. Hence one string will tie in a diagonal way
Hence total length of string will be
Total length = Perimeter of rectangle + length of diagonal
Perimeter of rectangle = 2( length + width ) = 2 ( 12 + 7 ) = 2 x 19 = 38 feet
Length of diagonal given by Pythagoras theorem
Hence
Total length = Perimeter of rectangle + length of diagonal
Total length = 38 feet + 13.89244 feet = 51.9 feet
Hence an artist use 51.9 feet of string for constructing a piece of art in the shape of rectangle
