Numeric Response 4. In an arithmetic series, the first term is -12 and the 15th term is 40. The sum of the first 15 terms is (Record your answer in the numerical-response section below.)

Your answer should be in.0000​

Answers

Answer 1

In any artihmetic sequence, consecutive terms differ by a fixed constant c. So given the first term a, the second term is a + c, the third terms is a + 2c, and so on, up to the n-th term a + (n - 1)c.

If the 15th term is 40, then

40 = -12 + (15 - 1) c   ==>   c = 52/14 = 26/7

We can then write the n-th term as

-12 + (n - 1) 26/7 = (26n - 110)/7

The sum of the first 15 terms is then

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{15}\frac{26n-110}7 = \frac{26}7\sum_{n=1}^{15}n - \frac{110}7\sum_{n=1}^{15}n = \boxed{210}[/tex]

Another way to compute the sum: let S denote the sum,

S = -12 - 58/7 - 32/7 + … + 228/7 + 254/7 + 40

Reverse the order of terms:

S* = 40 + 254/7 + 228/7 + … - 32/7 - 58/7 - 12

Notice that adding up terms in the same position gives the same result,

-12 + 40 = 28

-58/7 + 254/7 = 28

-32/7 + 228/7 = 28

so that

S + S* = 2S = 28 + 28 + 28 + … + 28 + 28 + 28

There are 15 terms in the sum, so

2S = 15×28   ==>   S = 15×28/2 = 210

Find the value of x in each case

Answers

Answer: x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we first need to understand the figure. We know TV and RS are parallel lines. If we extend TV to the left, we get a straight line parallel to RS. By Alternate Interior Angles, We know ∠R is equivalent to ∠T on the very left. Therefore, we can set it equal to 180° and solve.

x+2x+x=180          [combine like terms]

4x=180                  [divide both sides by 4]

x=45

Now, we know x=45.

A square based prism and a cylinder both have the same height of 4cm and the same base area. If the volume of the square based prism is 452cm cubed based on the concepts of Cavalieri's principle, what is the approximate circumference of the base of the cylinder?

Answers

The approximate circumference of the base of the cylinder is 37.7 cm

How to find circumference of a cylinder?

The square based prism and a cylinder both have the same height of 4cm and the same base area.

volume = BH

where

B = base areaH = height

Therefore,

volume of squared base prism = 452

452 = 4B

B = 452 / 4

B = 113

Therefore,

base area of the cylinder = 113 = πr²

Hence,

113 / π = r²

r = √113 / π

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 2πr

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 2 × π × √113 / π

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 2 × 3.14 × 5.99891656885

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 37.6731960524

circumference of the base of the cylinder = 37.7 cm

Answer:

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the teachers are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

1 from a set of 2(Either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan).

3 from a set of 18 - 2 = 16. So

[tex]C_{2,1}C_{16,3} = \frac{2!}{1!1!} \times \frac{16!}{3!13!} = 1120[/tex]

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.

Verify the identity.

[tex]cot (x-\frac{\pi }{2})=-tan[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that you meant to write

cot (x-π//2) = - tan x

the identity is TRUE because,

- you can graph cot (x-π//2)  and  - tan x, and see that the graphs overlap

OR

-you solve for cot (x-π/2)

useful to know is that :

cot x=1/tan x, tan x = sin x/cos x,  

cos(x) =cos(-x), sin(-x) = -sin x,

cos(π/2 -x) =sin x, sin (π/2-x) =cos x

cot (x-π/2) = 1/tan (x-π/2) , yet tangent is sin x/cos x

cot (x-π/2) = cos (x-π/2) /sin (x-π/2) , factor -1

cot (x-π/2) = cos -(π/2-x) /sin -(π/2-x),  use facts: cos(x) =cos(-x), sin(-x) = -sin x

cot (x-π/2) = cos (π/2-x) / -sin (π/2-x), use cos(π/2 -x) =sin x, sin (π/2-x) =cos x

cot (x-π/2) = sin x / -cos x , again sin x /cos x = tan x

cot (x-π/2) = -tan x

Which set of polar coordinates describes the same location as the
rectangular coordinates (1. - 1)?
A. (sqrt2,315°)
B. (-1,135°) C. (sqrt2,225°)
D. (1,45°)

Answers

Answer:

The polar coordinates appear in the form (r, θ), where r is the the radius from the center and θ is the angle. To get the radius, do the following.

[tex]r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{2}\\[/tex]

You can get the angle visually by drawing a point (1, -1) on a graph and seeing that it is 45 degrees from the top right quadrant (you can tell its 45 because both x and y have the same magnitude). Since there are 360 degrees, 360 - 45 = 315.

If you would like to find it mathematically, this is the way to do it

[tex]\theta = atan(y/x) = -45[/tex]

Notice that -45 degrees is just 360 - 45 = 315

Your answer would be

Answer:

A) (-8, -16)

B) (0, 48)

C) (-4, 0), (-12, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) the vertex is the minimum y value.

extremes of a function we get by using the first derivation and solving it for y' = 0.

y = x² + 16x + 48

y' = 2x + 16 = 0

2x = -16

x = -8

so, the vertex is at x=-8.

the y value is (-8)² + 16(-8) + 48 = 64 - 128 + 48 = -16

B) is totally simple. it is f(0) or x=0. so, y is 48.

C) is the solution of the equation for y = 0.

the solution for such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

in our case here

a=1

b=16

c=48

x = (-16 ± sqrt(16² - 4×48)) / 2 = (-16 ± sqrt(256-192)) / 2 =

= (-16 ± sqrt(64)) / 2 = (-16 ± 8) / 2 = (-8 ± 4)

x1 = -8 + 4 = -4

x2 = -8 - 4 = -12

so the x- intercepts are (-4, 0), (-12, 0)

Hummingbird was tiny and swift, with wings that moved so quickly that they buzzed and a slender beak as sleek as a needle.Heron and Hummingbird both loved to eat fish from the river. Every morning, Heron would fish to her heart's content, eating until her stomach was so round and heavy that she had to waddle back to shore. Every afternoon, Hummingbird would fish and feast until he was so heavy that his tiny, buzzing wings could no longer keep him in the air. Heron and Hummingbird thought they were the luckiest birds in the world.One afternoon, Hummingbird did not catch as many fish as usual. He fished and he fished, but his line came up empty more times than it ever had before. He flew to Heron's house."Heron! Heron!" he called.
