Answers:

t_{10} = -22 \ \text{ and } S_{10} = -85

========================================================

Explanation:

t_1 = \text{first term} = 5\\t_2 = \text{first term}-3 = t_1 - 3 = 5-3 = 2

Note we subtract 3 off the previous term (t1) to get the next term (t2). Each new successive term is found this way

t_3 = t_2 - 3 = 2-3 = -1\\t_4 = t_3 - 3 = -1-3 = -4

and so on. This process may take a while to reach t_{10}

There's a shortcut. The nth term of any arithmetic sequence is

t_n = t_1+d(n-1)

We plug in t_1 = 5 \text{ and } d = -3 and simplify

t_n = t_1+d(n-1)\\t_n = 5+(-3)(n-1)\\t_n = 5-3n+3\\t_n = -3n+8

Then we can plug in various positive whole numbers for n to find the corresponding t_n value. For example, plug in n = 2

t_n = -3n+8\\t_2 = -3*2+8\\t_2 = -6+8\\t_2 = 2

which matches with the second term we found earlier. And,

tn = -3n+8\\t_{10} = -3*10+8\\t_{10} = -30+8\\t_{10} = \boldsymbol{-22} \ \textbf{ is the tenth term}

---------------------

The notation S_{10} refers to the sum of the first ten terms t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_9, t_{10}

We could use either the long way or the shortcut above to find all t_1 through t_{10}. Then add those values up. Or we can take this shortcut below.

Sn = \text{sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence}\\S_n = (n/2)*(t_1+t_n)\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(t_1+t_{10})\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(5-22)\\S_{10} = 5*(-17)\\\boldsymbol{S_{10} = -85}

The sum of the first ten terms is -85

-----------------------

As a check for S_{10}, here are the first ten terms:

  • t1 = 5
  • t2 = 2
  • t3 = -1
  • t4 = -4
  • t5 = -7
  • t6 = -10
  • t7 = -13
  • t8 = -16
  • t9 = -19
  • t10 = -22

Then adding said terms gets us...

5 + 2 + (-1) + (-4) + (-7) + (-10) + (-13) + (-16) + (-19) + (-22) = -85

This confirms that S_{10} = -85 is correct.

If isme estimated that there are 50 students in the seventh grade class but there are actually 40 what is isme’s percent error?
Temka [501]

The percent error is 25 %

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that it is estimated that there are 50 students in the seventh grade class, but there are actually 40

<em><u>To find: percent error</u></em>

Percent error is the difference between a measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%

<em><u>The formula for percent error is given as:</u></em>

\text{ percent error }=\frac{\text { approximate value }-\text {exact value}}{\text { exact value }} \times 100$

Here, exact value = 40 and approximate value or estimated value = 50

Substituting the values in above formula,

\begin{aligned}&\text { percent error }=\frac{50-40}{40} \times 100\\\\&\text { percent error }=\frac{10}{40} \times 100=\frac{100}{4}=25\end{aligned}

Thus the percent error is 25 %

Find the value of x.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

110 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the interior angles of a polygon is always equal to 180(n-2) where n is the number of sides. In this figure, there are 7 sides. This means that the sum of all the interior angles is 180(7-2) = 180 * 5 = 900.

Now, add up all the angles that you know and subtract that from 900 to find the value of x.

900 - (105 + 150 + 140 + 135 + 125 + 135) = 900 - 790 = 110 degrees
