Answer:

t(4) = 6 ---- a + 3d = 6

t(8) + t(9) = -72

a+7d + a+8d = -72

2a + 15d = -72

double the first equation

2a + 6d = 12

subtract them

9d = -84

d = -84/9 = -28/3

What is the lcm for 7,14,16

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

112

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the least common multiple, we break the numbers down into prime factors

7 = 7

14 = 7*2

16 = 2*8 = 2*4*2 = 2*2*2*2

Then we take the largest number of times it appears in all the numbers

2 appears 4 times so we take take four 2's

7 appears 1 so we take one 7

LCM = 2*2*2*2*7

LCM = 112

The pressure of a gas p(v) varies inversely with the volume of the gas v. The pressure of a gas measures 25 kg/cm^2 when its vol

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{\underline{p(v)} varies inversely with \underline{v}}}{p(v)=\cfrac{k}{v}}\qquad \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} p(v)=25\\ v=200 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 25=\cfrac{k}{200}\implies 5000=k\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{p(v)=\cfrac{5000}{v}}$
