Answer:

Sum of the first 15 terms = -405

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 3d = -15 (1)

a + 8d = -30 (2)

Where,

a = first term

d = common difference

n = number of terms

Subtract (1) from (1)

8d - 3d = -30 - (-15)

5d = -30 + 15

5d = -15

d = -15/5

= -3

d = -3

Substitute d = -3 into (1)

a + 3d = -15

a + 3(-3) = -15

a - 9 = -15

a = -15 + 9

a = -6

Sum of the first 15 terms

S = n/2[2a + (n − 1) × d]

= 15/2 {2×-6 + (15-1)-3}

= 7.5{-12 + (14)-3}

= 7.5{ -12 - 42}

= 7.5{-54}

= -405

Sum of the first 15 terms = -405

What is the vertex of the graph of g(x)=|x-9|+3
mart [117]

Look at h(x) = |x-9|. The vertex of this absolute value function graph is at (9,0).


Sometimes it helps to work on a simpler problem first, which is why I've introduced h(x) = |x-9|.


The vertex of g(x)=|x-9|+3 is 0+3, or 3; we translate the entire graph of g(x)=|x-9| upward by 3 units. Thus, the vertex of g(x) is (9,3).

(2.07) The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F: C = 5
Vlad [161]
C = 5/9(F - 32)....multiply both sides by 9/5
9/5C = F - 32...add 32 to both sides
9/5C + 32 = F

F(x) 3x^4-4x^2-3<br> Is this function odd?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x^4-4x^2-3

If a function is odd then  f(-x) = -f(x) for all values of x.

Here f(-x) = 3(-x)^4 - 4(-x)^2 - 3

= 3x^4 - 4x^2 - 3

So f(-x) = f(x) which makes it even.
