Answer:

a_2=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence is given as: 1,\ a_2, \ a_3, \ a_4, \ \cdots,\ a_{10}

We are told that the 10 numbers add up to 100.

S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a_1+l)\\ $Where: \\n=number of terms\\l=last term\\a_1$=first term

S_{10}=100\\100=\dfrac{10}{2}(1+l)\\100=5(1+l)\\$Divide both sides by 5$\\20=1+l\\$Last term, $l=20-1=19

We know that the nth term of an arithmetic sequence

l=a_1+(n-1)d\\19=1+(10-1)d\\19=1+9d\\9d=19-1\\9d=18\\d=2

Therefore, the second number

a_2=a_1+2\\=1+2\\a_2=3

sattari [20]
Given:

One lap around a parking lot = 3/10 mile
3/10 mile is 15% of the total distance Gregory ran.

To determine the total distance (in mile) that Gregory ran, we refer to the given percentage:

3/10 mile / 0.15 = 2 miles

The total distance that Gregory ran is 2 miles. <span />

Helpp!!!!<br> Give the relation and identify the x and y axis intercepts.
densk [106]

Answer:

(2, 0) and (6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - 8 x + 12

To get the x intersept put y = 0

x^2 - 8 x + 12 = 0 \\\\x^2 - 6 x - 2 x + 12 = 0 \\\\x(x- 6) - 2(x - 6) = 0 \\\\(x - 2) (x - 6) = 0 \\\\x = 2 and x = 6

So, the intersepts are

(2, 0) and (6, 0)

X-3x+3&lt;6 <br> Solve the problems
bixtya [17]

Answer:

x > -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3x+3<6

Combine like terms

-2x+3<6

Subtract 3 from each side

-2x +3-3<6-3

-2x <3

Divide each side by -2,remembering to flip the inequality

-2x/-2 > 3/-2

x > -3/2
