The 7th term of an arithmetic sequence is 1, and the 20th term is -25. find the 25th term.

1 answer:

7 0

A(7)=1
a(20)=25
a(25)=?

a(n)=a(1)+d(n-1)

a(7)=a(1) +6d=1 -11/13+6*24/13=
a(20)=a(1)+19d=-25

a(1) +6d=1
a(1)+19d=-25 (subtract first equation from the second)
---------------------
19d-6d =-26
13d =-26
d=-2

a(1)=1-6d=1-6*(-2)=13

a(25)= a(1)+d(25-1)= 13+(-2) *24= 13-48=-35

Paul sketched a right angel with legs of length a, b, and h. Then he writes an expression for the length of the hypotensure. Wha

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Paul might have written the expression $h^2=a^2+b^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the leg 1 = a

Length of the leg 2 = b

Hypotenuse = h

We need the expression Paul has written:

Solution:

Now we know that;

The figure sketched by Paul is a right angle triangle.

Now by Pythagoras Theorem which states that;

"The square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to sum of the square of the length of the legs."

equation can be framed as;

$h^2=a^2+b^2$

Hence Paul might have written the expression $h^2=a^2+b^2$ .

A chord of a circle is 66cm long, it is 56 cm from the center of the circle. What is the radius of the circle?

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

radius = 65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(See image attached for better comprehension)

To find the value of the radius, we just need to draw a triangle, where one side is half of the chord (the distance from the chord to the center creates a point that divides the chord in two equal segments), other side is the distance from the chord to the center, and the hypotenusa will be the radius.

So, using Pythagoras' theorem, we have that:

r^2 = 56^2 + 33^2

r^2 = 4225

r = 65 cm
