In an arithmetic sequence, if a2= 5 and a10= 19 find a6

Mathematics
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a₆ = 12

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 a₂ = 5 and a₁₀ = 19 , then

a₁ + d = 5 → (1)

a₁ + 9d = 19 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

8d = 14 ( divide both sides by 8 )

d = 1.75

Substitute d = 1.75 into (1)

a₁ + 1.75 = 5 ( subtract 1.75 from both sides )

a₁ = 3.25

Then

a₆ = 3.25 + 5(1.75) = 3.25 + 8.75 = 12

Find the solution to the system of equations 2x+3y+z=20 3y+5z=12 y-5z=4
podryga [215]

Answer:

x =4 ,y =4 and z =0 is the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall solve the equations using elimination  method

In equation 2 and 3 we can see that  coefficient of z in both equations  are same with opposite sides , adding equations (2) and (3)

3y+5z = 12

y -5z = 4     adding the equations

___________

4y      = 16

dividing both sides by 4

  y =\frac{16}{4}

 y = 4

Plugging the value of y in equation 2 or equation 3 ,we get

3(4) +5z = 12

12+5z = 12

  5z = 12-12 or 5z =0 gives z =0

plugging y =4 and z =0 in equation 1

2x+3(4)+ 0 = 20

2x+12 = 20

2x =20-12

2x = 8

x = 8 divided by 2 gives

x =4

therefore solution of the system is given by

x=4 , y =4 and z =0

Can someone help me identify c(6)=
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, simply plug 6 in for m in the equation.

C(6) = 50(6) + 79.50

6 times 50 is 300.

300 + 79.50 = 379.50 = C(6)

The answer is 379.5

(Looking at the question again, I don't think what I said is what it is asking for, soo)

The slope of the function given represents the amount that needs to be paid every month. The y-intercept (79.50) represents the initial cost (starting amount) for paying the membership.
