<h3>Answer:  -10 and -40</h3>

===============================================================

Explanation:

a = 200 = first term

d = -30 = common difference

Tn = nth term

Tn = a + d(n-1)

Tn = 200 + (-30)(n-1)

Tn = 200 - 30n + 30

Tn = -30n + 230

Set Tn less than 0 and isolate n

Tn < 0

-30n + 230 < 0

230 < 30n

30n > 230

n > 230/30

n > 7.667 approximately

Rounding up to the nearest whole number gets us n \ge 8

So Tn starts to turn negative when n = 8

We can see that,

Tn = -30n + 230

T7 = -30*7 + 230

T7 = 20

and

Tn = -30n + 230

T8 = -30*8 + 230

T8 = -10 is the 8th term

and lastly

Tn = -30n + 230

T9 = -30*9 + 230

T9 = -40 is the ninth term

Or once you determine that T7 = 20, you subtract 30 from it to get 20-30 = -10 which is the value of T8. Then T9 = -40 because -10-30 = -40.

Answer:

- 10

- 40

Step-by-step explanation:

By the 7th term you should be pretty close to 0. Let's show that.

a1 = 200

n = 7

d = - 30

t7 = a1 + (n - 1)*d

t7 = 200 + (7 -1)*-30

t7 = 200 + 6*-30

t7 = 200 - 180

t7 = 20

This is the last term that is positive. when you take 30 away from t7 you are going to be in negative territory.

t8 = 200 + (8-1) * - 30

t8 = 200 + 7 * - 30

t8 = 200 - 210

t8 = - 10

Now the 9th term

t9 = 200 + (9 - 1)*-30

t9 = 200 + 8 * - 30

t9 = 200 - 240

t9 = - 40

Subvert
nadezda [96]
So...lets first think about what the word means to actually determine its synonyms. 

Subvert :- To overthrow, or take down 

Since this refers to an action that is upsetting, that would best fit the synonym.

Answer; To upset

rancher wants to fence in an area of 2000000 square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence down the
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

  • 7000ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let's break down 2,000,000 into its multiples,

Multiples of 2,000,000= 2⁷ × 5⁶

Using above values to find different combinations of length(l) and breadth (b) of rectangle and corresponding parameter of rectangle

  • l=5,   b=400,000  ,parameter= 2(5) + 2(400,000)= 800,010, total length of fence required= parameter+ side with shortest length= 800,015
  • l=2   b=1,000,000 parameter= 2,000,004, shortest fence required= 2,000,008
  • l=4,  b= 500,000 parameter= 1,000,008, shortest fence required= 1,000,012
  • From above, we can see a trend that the parameter of rectangle decreases if length and breadth are increased provided that area is constant. So, a rectangle will have shortest parameter if all of its sides are equal.
  • length of side of rectangle with shortest possible parameter= 2^3 ×5^3= 1000 and breadth of side of rectangle with shortest possible parameter= 2^4× 5^3=2000
  • Shortest possible length of fence= 2(2000)+2(1000)+1000=7000ft
