What will be the first negative term in the sequence 87,84,81​

Mathematics
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a₃₁

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms have a common difference between consecutive terms, that is

d = 84 - 87 = 81 - 84 = - 3

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 87 and d = - 3 , then

a_{n} = 87 - 3(n - 1) = 87 - 3n + 3 = 90 - 3n

To find when a_{n} < 0 , solve

90 - 3n < 0 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

- 3n < - 90

Divide both sides by - 3, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity, then

n > 30

Thus the 31st term will be the first negative term

Q = x^3 â xGiven that x is a positive integer such that x ⥠75, which of the following is the remainder when Q is divided by 6?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

A) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Q=x^{3}-x\\\\x(x^{2}-1)\\\\x(x+1)(x-1)

Divisor = 6 = 3*2

\frac{Q}{D}=\frac{(x)(x+1)(x-1)}{6}\\\\\frac{Q}{D}=\frac{(x)(x+1)(x-1)}{2 \times 3}\\

As it can be see that x ≥ 75 and Q is product of three consecutive terms (x-1), x, (x+1) which is always completely divisible by 2, 3 and 6. So remainder is zero

All you have to do is multiply the .99 buy 3, if it equals less than $2.50, which it doesn't then it is the better deal.
