Find the first term of a sequence x+1,2x-18,2x-1,if this sequence is an arithmetic progression​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a₁ = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic progression the common difference d is

d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is

2x - 18 - (x + 1) = 2x - 1 - (2x - 18) ← distribute and simplify both sides

2x - 18 - x - 1 = 2x - 1 - 2x + 18

x - 19 = 17 ( add 19 to both sides )

x = 36

Thus

a₁ = x + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37

A company that manufactures calculators has determined that for every 500 calculators they make, 12 of them are defective. If this company makes 3,000 calculators in a week, how many should they expect to be defective? A.2
B.6
C.18
B.72
E.83​

Answers

Answer: The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 500, 6 times to get 3,000. Then multiply 12, 6 times. So 12 x 6=72

it should be d. 72. it is 72 because if you divide 500 from 3,000 you get 6. for each 500 calculators 12 are defective, so 12 x 6 = 72

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. Given the length of the diagonal is $5\sqrt{5}$, find the area of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width =x

Length = 2*x = 2x

Diagonal = 5√5

Use Pythagorean theorem

Length² + Width² = diagonal²

  (2x)²    + x²        = (5√5)²      

{[tex](5\sqrt{5})^{2}=5\sqrt{5} *5\sqrt{5}=5*5*\sqrt{5*5}=25*5=75[/tex]}

     4x²   + x²        = 75

                      5x² = 75

                        x²  = 75/5

                       x²   = 15

                        x = √15

Width = √15

Length = 2√15

Area of rectangle = length *width

                             = √15 *2√15

                             [tex]= 2* \sqrt{15*15}\\\\= 2*15\\= 30[/tex]

                             = 30 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

1. AB=AC (The triangle is isosceles. This means that at least two of its sides are equal in length. Looking at the triangle in the picture, sides AB and AC look the same, so we will assume that they are equal. Note that as you get more advanced, assuming isn't the best strategy. You should always try to look for hints if you are ever unsure. For example, if there are two angles that are the same measure in a triangle, the two sides that are only touching one of these angles are equal in length. This is called the base angles theorem converse.)

2. 9x-3=6x+3 (Rewrite sides AB and AC as the values given in the picture. This is called substitution.)

3. 9x=6x+6 (Add 3 to each side)

4. 3x=6 (Subtract 6x from each side)

5. x=2 (Divide each side by 3)

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (-4, -4) and is perpendicular to the line 4x+5y=5

Answers

Answer:

[tex]5x-4y+4=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A point  which is perpendicular to the line .

To find: The equation of the line which passes through [tex](-4, -4)[/tex] and is perpendicular to the line [tex]4x+5y=5[/tex].

Solution:

We have, [tex]4x+5y=5[/tex].

Slope of the line [tex]4x+5y=5[/tex] is [tex]-\frac{4}{5}[/tex].

The line which passes through [tex](-4, -4)[/tex] is perpendicular to the line [tex]4x+5y=5[/tex].

Now, the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is [tex]-1[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]m\times-\frac{4}{5}=-1[/tex]

So, its slope is [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex].

Now, the equation of the line which passes through [tex](-4, -4)[/tex] and slope [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] is:

[tex]y-(-4)=\frac{5}{4} [x-(-4)][/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow y+4=\frac{5}{4} (x+4)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 4(y+4)=5(x+4)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 4y+16=5x+20[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 5x-4y+20-16=0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 5x-4y+4=0[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the line that contains the point [tex](-4, -4)[/tex] and is perpendicular to the line [tex]4x+5y=5[/tex] is [tex]5x-4y+4=0[/tex].

HELP!!! A scientist needs 10 litters of 20% acid solution for an experiment, but she has only a 5% solution and a 40% solution. To the nearest tenth of a liter, about how many liters of the 5% and the 40% solutions should she mix to get the solution she needs

Answers

Answer:10 liter * 20%= x liter*40% + (10- x) liter*5%

10l * 20%= x liter * 35% + 10 liter*5%

x liter *35 = 10l * 20 - 10l *5= 10l*15

x liter = 10l *15/35= 4.28 L= 4.3L

The volume of 40% solution= 4.3L

The volume of 5% solution= 10L- 4.3L= 5.7L

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you want to make 10 liters 20% concentration solution by mixing 5% and 40% concentration. There should be multiple answers to this question. Assuming that the total volume of 5% and 40% solution equal to 10L(no solution wasted), then you can determine the volume of solution needed. The formula should be:

Robert is painting a portrait. He is using a canvas that has a width of 12 inches and a height of 16 inches. Find the location of a focal point on the portrait using the golden ratio

Answers

Answer:

0.56 inches from the vertex of the canvas

Step-by-step explanation:

Golden ratio can be interpreted as

B / A = ( A + B ) / B ----- (  1  )

A = smaller side = 12 inches

B = larger side  = 16 inches

Back to equation 1

16 / 12 = ( 16 + 12 ) / 16

4 / 3 ≠ 7 / 4

The Golden ratio can not be applied because the rule is not obeyed  

The focal point can be determined as :

( longest width / 2 )= 12 / 2 = 6^ 2 = 36 ---- 2

(4* depth) = 16 * 4 = 64 ---- 3

hence the focal point ( 2 / 3 ) = 36 / 64 = 0.56 inches from the vertex of the canvas
