Expanding the left side gives
which gives two solutions,
and
. But if
, then
, but this number isn't real, so
is an extraneous solution. Meanwhile if
, you get
, so this solution is correct.
"Potential solutions" might refer to both possibilities, but there is only one actual (real) solution.
Answer: First Option : Sₙ= n/2(a₁ + aₙ)
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth partial sum of an arithmetic sequence or the sum of the first n terms of the arithmetic series can be defined as the sum of a finite number of term in an arithmetic sequence.
It is calculated using the formula:
Sₙ= n/2(a₁ + aₙ)
Where :
a₁ = First term
aₙ = last term
n = number of terms
p^2 + (2p - 5)^2 = (p + 1)^2
Solve for p to find your answer.
Answer:
Measure of arc AE = 58°
Step-by-step explanation:
As shown: ABCD is a quadrilateral, ∠C = 119°
So, ∠C + ∠A = 180°
∴ ∠A = 180° - ∠C = 180° - 119° = 61°
ΔAGB is a right triangle at G
So, ∠A + ∠B = 90°
∴ ∠ABG = 90 - ∠A = 90 - 61 = 29°
Arc AE opposite to the angle ∠ABG
So, measure of arc AE = 2∠ABG = 2 * 29° = 58°
The degree is 3.
