The sun of the first 3 terms of an arithmetic sequence is 21 while their product is 315 determine these three terms?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The terms of the sequence are x=5 and a=2:

[tex] x + (x + a) + (x + 2a) = 21 [/tex]  →  [tex] 5 + (5 + 2) + (5 +2*2) = 21 [/tex]

[tex] x*(x + a)*(x + 2a) = 315 [/tex]  →  [tex] 5*(5 + 2)*(5 + 2*2) = 315 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the terms of the following sequence:

[tex] x + (x + a) + (x + 2a) = 21 [/tex]

[tex] 3x + 3a = 21 [/tex]      

[tex] x + a = 7 [/tex]      (1)

The product of that sequence is:

[tex] x*(x + a)*(x + 2a) = 315 [/tex]    (2)

Solving equation (1) for x:

[tex] x = 7 - a [/tex]  (3)

And by entering (3) into (2):

[tex] (7 - a)*(7 - a + a)*(7 - a + 2a) = 315 [/tex]  

[tex] 7*(7^{2} - a^{2}) = 315 [/tex]  

[tex] 343 - 7a^{2} = 315 [/tex]    

[tex] a = 2 [/tex]  

Now, by entering "a" into equation (3):

[tex] x = 7 - 2 = 5 [/tex]  

Therefore, the terms of the sequence are x=5 and a=2.

I hope it helps you!

what is the coefficient in -x+9

Answers

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient is the number directly next to a given variable (typically 1 if there is no given number).

In this case, note the variable: -x

As stated above, the number is 1 if there is no number given. However, note that there is a negative sign, therefore, your coefficient is -1

Which equation represents a line that is parallel to the line represented by

4x + y = 7 and passes through the point (1, 8)?

Answers

Answer:

y = -4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line to be parallel, it needs to have the same slope.

Point intercept form: y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

Where y and x are just kept as y and x, y₁ and x₁ are the parts of a coordinate, and m = slope.

So, in order for the line to be parallel, it needs to have the same slope as the first equation. The slope of the line (which is the "m" in y = mx + b) is..

4x + y = 7

y = -4x + 7

So, m, or the slope, is -4.

Plug this, along with the coordinate the problem gives you into point-intercept form.

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 8 = -4 (x - 1)

Simplify.

y - 8 = -4x + 4

Add 8 to both sides.

y = -4x + 12

Answers

Answer:

B. ∆XYZ, in which m∠X = 10° and m∠Z = 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ABC

m∠A = 10°

m∠B = 145°

m∠C = 180° - (m∠A + m∠B )

= 180° - (10° + 145°)

= 180° - 155°

m∠C = 25°

∆XYZ

m∠X = 10°

m∠Z = 25°

m∠Y = 180° - (m∠X + m∠Z)

= 180° - (10° + 25°)

= 180° - 35°

m∠Y = 145°

so,

m∠A = m∠X = 10°

m∠C = m∠Z = 25°

m∠B = m∠Y = 145°

B. The volume of the larger cylinder is 4 times the volume of the smaller cylinder.
C. The volume of the larger cylinder is 8 times the volume of the smaller cylinder.
D. The volume of the larger cylinder is 6 times the volume of the smaller cylinder.

Answers

The true statement is The volume of the larger cylinder is 8 times the volume of the smaller cylinder.

The correct option is (C)

What is Volume of cylinder?

The volume of cylinder is, V=  πr²h.

Volume of large cylinder,

= πr²h

= πd²(2h)

= 2hπd²

Volume of large cylinder,

= πr²h

= π(d/2)²(h)

= πd²h/4

= 2πd²h/8

Hence, The volume of the larger cylinder is 8 times the volume of the smaller cylinder.

An oblique candle with a volume of 270 cubic centimeters is 18 centimeters tall. The width of the triangular candle base is 5 centimeters, and the width of the slanted candle is 7 centimeters. An oblique triangular prism has a volume of 270 cubic centimeters. The vertical height is 18 centimeters. The width of the triangular bases is 6 centimeters, and the width of the slanted prism is 7 centimeters. What dimensions of the box are required to fit the candle? 5 cm by 6 cm by 18 cm 7 cm by 6 cm by 18 cm 5 cm by 3 cm by 18 cm 7 cm by 3 cm by 18 cm

Answers

Answer:

7 cm by 6 cm by 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Volume of candle = 270cm³

Height = 18cm

Triangular base = 5cm

Width of candle = 7cm

Volume = Area of base * height

270cm³ = Area of base * 18

Area of base = 270cm³ / 18cm

Area of base = 15 cm²

Using this to find the height of triangular prism :

Area = 1/2 * base * height

15cm² = 1/2 * 5 * height

15cm² = 2.5 *. Height

Height = 6 cm

Hence, the dimension of triangular prism is : 7cm by 6cm by 18cm

Answer:

7 cm by 6 cm by 18 cm

Answer:

y = 6/7x - 37/7

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 6/7

(5, -1)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 1 = 6/7(x - 5)

y + 1 = 6/7x - 30/7

y = 6/7x - 37/7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by the point-slope form and given slope = 6/7 and point (5, -1)

(y-(-1)) / (x-5) = 6/7

7(y+1) = 6(x-5)

7y = 6x - 37

Given that OA = 2x + 9y, OB = 4x + 8y and CD = 4x - 2y, explain the geometrical relationships between the straight lines AB and CD.

Answers

Answer:

The geometrical relationships between the straight lines AB and CD is that they have the same slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]OA = 2x + 9y[/tex]

[tex]OB = 4x + 8y[/tex]

[tex]CD = 4x - 2y[/tex]

Required

The relationship between AB, CD

Since AB is a straight line and O is the origin, then:

[tex]AB = (c - a)x + (d - b)y[/tex]

Where:

[tex]OA = ax + by[/tex] ====> [tex]OA = 2x + 9y[/tex]

[tex]OB = cx + dy[/tex] ====> [tex]OB = 4x + 8y[/tex]

This implies that:

[tex]a =2[/tex]      [tex]b = 9[/tex]     [tex]c = 4[/tex]   [tex]d = 8[/tex]  

So:

[tex]AB = (c - a)x + (d - b)y[/tex]

[tex]AB = (4 - 2)x + (8 - 9)y[/tex]

[tex]AB = 2x -y[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]AB = 2x -y[/tex]

[tex]CD = 4x - 2y[/tex]

Calculate the slope (m) of [tex]AB\ and\ CD[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{Coefficient\ of\ y}{Coefficient\ of\ y}[/tex]

For AB

[tex]m_1 = \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]m_1 = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

For CD

[tex]m_2 = \frac{-2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]m_2 = \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]m_1 = m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

This implies that both lines have the same slope

James troubled 40 miles per hour and traveled a total distance of 260 miles use the formula D equals RT to determine the total amount of time it took James to reach his destination ​

Answers

Answer:

6.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

James troubled 40 miles per hour and traveled a total distance of 260 miles

The formula to calculate the Total Amount of time it would take to reach the destination bis given as:

Time = Distance/Speed

Distance = 260 miles

Speed = 40 miles per hour

Hence,

Time = 260 miles/40 miles per hour

Time = 6.5 hours

Therefore, the total amount of time it took James to reach his destination is 6.5 hours

What two numbers have a sum of 215 and a difference of 137

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = big number

let you = small number

x + y = 215-------> (1)

x - y = 137 ------>(2)

(1)

x = 215 - y ----->(1)

substitute 1 into 2

215 - y -y = 137

-2 y = 78

y = 39

substitute y = 39 into (1)

x = 215 - (39)

x = 176

thus the numbers are 176 & 39

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 2x - 3. The perimeter of the triangle is 34. Find x.

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is isosceles, it means that 2 of its sides are equal in length, therefore its perimeter is equal to

Adding similar terms, and recalling that the perimeter is equal to 34, we get
