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

Answer:

  32.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of long side to hypotenuse is the same for all of the triangles in the figure.

  AD/AB = AB/AC

  AB^2 = AD·AC = 30·36

  AB = 6√30 ≈ 32.863

To the nearest tenth, AB ≈ 32.9.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Graph the points, (2,18) (7, 24) and (16, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Going to the store takes 2 minutes for 18 blocks, which is the first point

He stays at the store for 2 minutes then takes 3 minutes to get to the bank which is 6 blocks away, add the time together and blocks, and you get the second point

He stopped at the bank for 3 minutes and the drove back home. It takes him 6 minutes to get back home, (24/6), add all the minutes together and you get 16.

(This is assuming the graph is y for blocks and x for minutes)
