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

which of the following properties could be used to rewrite the expression (2/3•1/5)•5/2 as 2/3•(5/2•(5/2•1/5) sorry to ask Su ma
slamgirl [31]
The original expression is given by:
 ( \frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{5})*\frac{5}{2}
 The correct way to rewrite the expression is given by:
 \frac{2}{3}*(\frac{5}{2}*\frac{1}{5})

 For this, we use two properties:

 Associative property:
 The way of grouping the factors does not change the result of the multiplication:
 \frac{2}{3}*(\frac{1}{5}*\frac{5}{2})

 Commutative property:
 
The order of the factors does not vary the product:
 \frac{2}{3}*(\frac{5}{2}*\frac{1}{5})

Sloan [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  340

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of natural to synthetic is give as ...

  5 : 8

Then the ratio of natural to total would be ...

  5 : (5+8) = 5 : 13

The amount of natural oil in 884 total liters of oil will be ...

  (5/13)(884 L) = 340 L

884 liters of Petrolyn oil will contain 340 liters of natural oil.

If line b is perpendicular to line a, and line c is perpendicular to line a, what is the slope of line c ?
Shalnov [3]
To answer this question, we must find the slope of line b.
 We have then:
 b = (3 - (- 2)) / (2 - (- 3))
 b = 5/5
 b = 1
 Since the lines b and c are parallel, it follows that their slopes are equal.
 Then
 mc = b = 1
 Answer:
 
The slope of line c is:
 mc = 1
