Write the explicit rule of the arithmetic sequence that has a first term of 3 and a fourth term of 18

Mathematics

mr Goodwill [35]2 years ago

Answer:

a_{n} = 5n - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₄ = 18 , then

a₁ + 3d = 18 , that is

3 + 3d = 18 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3d = 15 (divide both sides by 3 )

d = 5

Then

a_{n} = 3 + 5(n - 1) = 3 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 2 ← explicit rule

You've lost your dinner jacket in a palace with 1,514 doors, and it could be anywhere. how many rooms must you potentially look
zheka24 [161]
Presuming the rooms are connected to each other by a door and that each room has two doors, you will potentially check in;
\frac{1514}{2} -1
= 756 rooms
We are subtracting 1 since the last door doesn't lead to another room.

How many triangles can be constructed with three angles, each measuring 64°?<br><br> 10 POINTS
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

<u><em>NONE</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is none. This is because angles in a triangle must add up to 180°, so if you have three angles that are 64° the total would be 192°. I hope this helps!

A circle with area 16pi has a sector with a central angle of 8/5pi radians. What is the area of the sector?
lianna [129]

Answer:

The area of the sector is 12.8\pi\ units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a complete circle (16π units^2) subtends a central angle of 2π radians

so

using proportion

Find out the area of a sector , if the central angle is equal to 8π/5 radians

\frac{16\pi}{2\pi}=\frac{x}{(8\pi/5)}\\\\x=8(8\pi/5)\\\\x= 12.8\pi\ units^2
