Answer:

first we find the common difference.....do this by subtracting the first term from the second term. (9 - 3 = 6)...so basically, ur adding 6 to every number to find the next number.

we will be using 2 formulas....first, we need to find the 34th term (because we need this term for the sum formula)

an = a1 + (n-1) * d

n = the term we want to find = 34

a1 = first term = 3

d = common difference = 6

now we sub

a34 = 3 + (34-1) * 6

a34 = 3 + (33 * 6)

a34 = 3 + 198

a34 = 201

now we use the sum formula

Sn = (n (a1 + an)) / 2

S34 = (34(3 + 201))/2

s34 = (34(204)) / 2

s34 = 6936/2

s34 = 3468 <=== the sum of the first 34 terms:

Answer:

Sin, Cos, Tan and others are used to calculate the ratios of the sides of a right angled triangle by taking a certain angle as the angle of reference.

On the other hand, Sin‐¹, Cos‐¹ and Tan-¹ are used to find the reference angle used to calculate the ratio of sides.

For this question,

we need to find which option should used to calculate the angle the slide makes with the vertical support.

So the option will have to be either A, C or E.

here, the base is 2.81m and hypotenuse is 3.64m.

we know, Cos = base / hypotenuse

So the angle is given by Cos-¹(2.81/3.64)

Option C

a stone is thrown downward with an intitial velocity of 29.5 m/sec will travel a distance of a meters, where s(t) = 4.9t^2 + 29.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

t = 9 s

Step-by-step explanation:

A stone is thrown downward with an intitial velocity of 29.5 m/sec will travel a distance of a meters, where

$s(t) = -4.9t^2 + 29.4+132.3$

We need to find when the stone will hit the ground. It means when s(t) = 0. So,

$-4.9t^2 + 29.4t+132.3=0\\\\t=-3\ and\ t=9$

So, the stone will take 9 seconds to hit the ground. Hence, this is the required solution.

A data set includes the following SAT scores: 340, 560, 480, 680, 700. Suppose an additional score of 700 is inserted in the dat

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first arrange it in ascending order :

340, 480, 560, 680, 700

560 is clearly the median.

Now add an additional score of 700 to the data :

340, 480, 560, 680, 700 ,700

560, 680 is separating both halves but is not the median

Median = (560+680)/2

= 1240 / 2

Median = 620
