Find the 21st term of the sequence 15,8,1,-6

Mathematics

Answer:

-125

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term is 7 less than the previous term.

1st term: 15

2nd term: 15 - 7

3rd term: 15 - 7 - 7 = 15 - 2(7)

4th term = 15 - 7 - 7 - 7 = 15 - 3(7)

Notice that each term is 15 minus a multiple of 7. The multiple is obtained by multiplying 7 by 1 less than the term number.

The formula is:

$a_n = 15 - 7(n - 1)$

For the 21st term, multiply 7 by 20, and subtract from 15.

7 × 20 = 140

15 - 140 = -125

Using the formula:

$a_{21} = 15 - 7(21 - 1) = 15 - 7(20) = 15 - 140 = -125$

Answer: -125

The number of hours, t, it takes a boat to travel 15 miles upstream is represented

iogann1982 [59]

The equation of c is an illustration of subject of formula

The equation of c in terms of r and t is c = r - 15/t

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

t = 15/(r - c)

Cross multiply

t(r - c) = 15

Divide both sides by t

r - c = 15/t

Subtract r from both sides

-c = -r + 15/t

Multiply both sides by -1

c = r - 15/t

Take LCM

$c = \frac{rt - 15}{t}$

Hence, the equation of c in terms of r and t is $c = \frac{rt - 15}{t}$

Find the exact length of the curve. x=et+e−t, y=5−2t, 0≤t≤2 For a curve given by parametric equations x=f(t) and y=g(t), arc len

Rama09 [41]

The length of a curve C parameterized by a vector function r(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j over an interval a ≤ t ≤ b is

$\displaystyle\int_C\mathrm ds = \int_a^b \sqrt{\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

In this case, we have

x(t) = exp(t ) + exp(-t ) ==> dx/dt = exp(t ) - exp(-t )

y(t) = 5 - 2t ==> dy/dt = -2

and [a, b] = [0, 2]. The length of the curve is then

$\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)^2+(-2)^2} \,\mathrm dt = \int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}-2+e^{-2t}+4}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}+2+e^{-2t}} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\sqrt{\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)\bigg|_0^2 = \left(e^2-e^{-2}\right)-\left(e^0-e^{-0}\right) = \boxed{e^2-\frac1{e^2}}$

A special liquid is held in a tank described as (x 2 + y 2 ) ≤ z ≤ 1 in a Cartesian coordinate system. Assume that the density o

vivado [14]

Since $\rho=\dfrac mV$ (density = mass/volume), we can get the mass/weight of the liquid by integrating the density $\rho(x,y,z)$ over the interior of the tank. This is done with the integral

$\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1\int_{-\sqrt{1-x^2}}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\int_{x^2+y^2}^1(2-z^2)\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$

which is more readily computed in cylindrical coordinates as

$\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1\int_{r^2}^1(2-z^2)r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta=\boxed{\frac{3\pi}4}$

A company has six employees.The salary of five of the employees are P2200,P1300,P800,P940 and P560.When the sixth employee is in

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

First answer is 1200

Second answer is 900 for each new employee

Step-by-step explanation:

First answer:

2200+1300+800+940+560+x = 7000

5800+x = 7000 subtract 5800 from both sides and you get your answer

x = 1200

Second answer:

x = 900. Each of the two employees made 900 a month or 1800 a month for both of them.

To find the average we take the total salaries and divide by the number of people to find the average salary. In this case, we know the average and we know all of the salaries, but two. We can figure this out.

(7000 + 2x)/8 = 1100 multiple both sides by 8 to clear the fraction/

7000 +2x = 8800 Subtract both sides by 7000

2x = 1800 Divide both sides by 2

x = 900
