Answer:

The sum of the arithmetic series is 2717.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$\displaystyle S = \frac{k}{2}\left( a + x_k\right)$

Where <em>k</em> is the number of terms, <em>a</em> is the initial term, and <em>x</em>_<em>k</em> is the last term.

There are 22 terms, the first term is 7, and the last term is 240. Hence, the sum is:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} S &= \frac{(22)}{2}\left((7) + (240)} \\ \\ &= 11(247) \\ \\ &= 2717\end{aligned}$

In conclusion, the sum of the arithmetic series is 2717.

A paint company mixes it's paint with water to create more paint per gallon. They currently have ten gallon jugs which contain 1

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

<h3>Answer: 1.25 gallons</h3>

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

Explanation:

They currently have ten gallon jugs that contain 10% water, so this means 0.10*10 = 1 gallon of the jug is water and the other 10-1 = 9 gallons is paint. This is assuming the cans are just paint and water.

The ratio of paint to water is 90:10 which reduces to 9:1

Often it helps to reduce as much as possible, but it's actually more handy in this case to keep it at 90:10 so you can see the two parts add back up to 100%

--------------

Let x be the amount of water we add. This amount is in gallons.

We start off with 1 gallon of water and it bumps up to 1+x gallons of water.

The overall amount of 10 gallons also bumps up to 10+x gallons.

We want a ratio of 80:20 this time, so we want 20 parts water and 80 parts paint. In other words, we want 20/(20+80) = 20/100 = 20% water

Divide (1+x) over (10+x) to get (1+x)/(10+x). This represents the fraction of water. We want this fraction to be equal to 0.20, which is the 20% water amount. It is also equal to 20/100.

--------------

(1+x)/(10+x) = 20/100

100(1+x) = 20(10+x) ... cross multiply

100+100x = 200+20x ... distribute

100x-20x = 200-100

80x = 100

x = 100/80 ... divide both sides by 80

x = 1.25

You need to add 1.25 gallons of water

--------------

If you add 1.25 gallons of water, then,

amount of water = 1+x = 1+1.25 = 2.25

amount of paint&water = 10+x = 10+1.25 = 11.25

So you'll have 2.25 gallons of water out of 11.25 gallons of water&paint mix

2.25/11.25 = 0.2 = 20% water

This confirms our answer.

--------------

Extra info:

1.25 gallons = 1 gallon + 1/4 gallon

1.25 gallons = 1 gallon + 1 quart

This is because 1 gallon = 4 quarts, so 1 quart = 1/4 gallon.

(a) The parametric equations x = f(t) and y = g(t) give the coordinates of a point (x, y) = (f(t), g(t)) for appropriate values

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Given a parametric equation, we are describing a set of coordinates based on the value of t. The variable t is called the parameter.

b) we have the following equations. x=t y=t^2, so in order for us to know where the object is at t=t' we must replace t with the specific value t'. Hence, when t=0 the object is at (0,0^2) = (0,0) (the origin). When t=6, the object is at (6,6^2) = (6,36).

c). To eliminate the parameter, we replace the parameter in one equation by using the second equation. Recall that we have that x=t. Then, by replacing in the second equation, we have the following

$y=t^2 = (x)^2 = x^2$

where $x\geq 0$
