Answer:

an = 115 + (n - 1) (-6)

a25 = - 29

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the definition for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:

an = a1 + (n - 1) d

a5 = 91 = a1 + (5 - 1) d

91 = a1 + 4 d

a20 = 1 = a1 + (20 - 1) d = a1 + 19 d

1 = a1 + 19 d

now we subtract term by term one expression from the other

90 = 4 d - 19 d

90 = - 15 d

divide both sides by -15 to isolate d

d = 90 / (-15) = -6

Now we can calculate what a1 is using for example:

1 = a1 + 19 d

1 = a1 - 114

add 114 to both sides:

115 = a1

Then our general expression for the sequence is:

an = 115 + (n - 1) (-6)

We can now use it to calculate the value of a25:

a25 = 115 + (24) * (-6) = -29

HURRY!!!!!!!!!<br><br> Given P(5,10,8) and Q(7,11,10), find the midpoint of the segment PQ.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

P_{m}=(6,10.5,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid point can be found with the formula

P_{m}=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2},\frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2} ,\frac{z_{1}+z_{2}  }{2} )

The given coordinates are P(5,10,8) and Q(7,11,10).

Replacing coordinates in the formula, we have

P_{m}=(\frac{5+7}{2},\frac{10+11 }{2} ,\frac{8+10}{2} )=(\frac{12}{2},\frac{21 }{2} ,\frac{18}{2} )\\P_{m}=(6,10.5,9)

Therefore, the mid point of the segment PQ is P_{m}=(6,10.5,9)

Triple the difference between 32 and 19. A. 3 x (32 -19) B. 32 - 19 x 3 C. 3 x 32-19 D. (3 x 32)-19
Elza [17]
The answer is A 3x(32-19)

Reasoning: Triple the difference of 32 and 19 would be a 3x multiplication of 32-19, you need parenthesis in order to do 32-19 first because of PEMDAS. SO the answer would be 3x(32-19 because none of the other options would show the equation correctly.

How do I find the slope to this equation ?<br> 2х-Зу = 12
evablogger [386]

Answer:

slope = \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

2x - 3y = 12 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 3y = - 2x + 12 ( divide all terms by - 3 )

y = \frac{2}{3} x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{2}{3}

Georgia [21]

Answer:

320 pesos

Step-by-step explanation:

Un 20% de descuento en formato decimal es 0.20. La totalidad de la bicicleta es representada como 100% o 1 y nosotros queremos saber el precio despues del descuento que seria

100% - 20% = 80% o 0.80

Ahora simplemente multiplicamos este decimal por el valor original de la bicicleta para saber el precio descontado...

400 * 0.80 = 320 pesos
