Given:

In an arithmetic sequence,

a_1=2

a_i=a_{i-1}-3

To find:

The sum of the first 335 terms in the given sequence.

Solution:

The recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_i=a_{i-1}+d         ...(i)

Where, d is the common difference.

We have,

a_i=a_{i-1}-3          ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

d=-3

The sum of first i terms of an arithmetic sequence is:

S_i=\dfrac{i}{2}[2a+(i-1)d]

Putting i=335,a=2,d=-3, we get

S_{335}=\dfrac{335}{2}[2(2)+(335-1)(-3)]

S_{335}=\dfrac{335}{2}[4+(334)(-3)]

S_{335}=\dfrac{335}{2}[4-1002]

S_{335}=\dfrac{335}{2}(-998)

On further simplification, we get

S_{335}=335\times (-499)

S_{335}=-167165

Therefore, the sum of the first 335 terms in the given sequence is -167165.

An architectural engineer is designing a parabola dome that will be 200 feet in diameter with a max height of 50 feet. find the
il63 [147K]

Answer:

y = -0.005x² + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is 200 feet, so the parabola has roots at (-100, 0) and (100, 0).  The maximum height is 50, so the vertex of the parabola is at (0, 50).

Using vertex form of a parabola:

y = a (x − h)² + k

y = a (x − 0)² + 50

y = ax² + 50

Plugging in either root:

0 = a (100)² + 50

a = -0.005

y = -0.005x² + 50

Answer:

14x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify (2x-3)(7x+4).

Expand the brackets. Remember brackets mean to multiply.

We multiply the 2x and the 7x to get 14x and we multiply the -3 by 4 to get -12 as shown below;

(2x-3)(7x+4)
