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 method can you use to find the area of the composite figure? Check all that apply.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Decompose the figure into two rectangles and add the areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can draw a vertical line segment from the smaller section of the rectangle straight down.  This would cut the rectangle into 2 smaller rectangles.  We can then find the area of each rectangle and add them to find the area of the composite figure.

A piston is seated at the top of a cylindrical chamber with radius 3 cm when it starts moving into the chamber at a constant spe
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1. V = πr²h

2. dv/dt = πr²dh/dt

3. dv/dt = 113.04

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these information

Radius R = 3cm

Height = h

Volume = V

We have been given dh/dt = 4cm

1.

An equation relating V, r, h

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

2.

The related rates equation

dv/dt = πr²dh/dt

dv/dt = π3²dh/dt

3. Continuing from number 2 above, we have

dv/dt = π3²dh/dt

= π9x4

= 3.14x9x4

= 113.04

These are the answers to the questions
