Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the series 3 + 6 + 9 + …, given that a8 = 24.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to use the sum of an arithmetic sequence formula.

(a1 + an) × n/2

a1 is the first term and an is the last term. n is the number of terms.

In this case: (3+24) × 8/2 = 27×8/2 = 27×4 = 108

Answer 2

The sum of the first 8 terms of the series 3 + 6 + 9 + ... is 108.

To find the sum of the first 8 terms of the series, we need to find the common difference (d) and then use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series.

Given that [tex]\(a_8 = 24\)[/tex], we can see that the 8th term is 24.

The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic series is [tex]\(a_n = a_1 + (n-1) \cdot d\)[/tex], where [tex]\(a_n\)[/tex] is the nth term, [tex]\(a_1\)[/tex] is the first term, and d is the common difference.

Substitute n=8 and [tex]\(a_n=24\)[/tex] into the formula:

[tex]\(24 = 3 + (8-1) \cdot d\)[/tex]

Simplify the equation:

[tex]\(24 = 3 + 7 \cdot d\)[/tex]

Now, solve for d:

[tex]\(7d = 24 - 3\)\\\\\(7d = 21\)\\\\\(d = \frac{21}{7} = 3\)[/tex]

Now that we have the common difference d = 3, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:

[tex]\(S_n = \frac{n}{2} \cdot (a_1 + a_n)\)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\(n=8\)[/tex], [tex]\(a_1=3\)[/tex], and [tex]\(a_n=24\)[/tex] into the formula:

[tex]\(S_8 = \frac{8}{2} \cdot (3 + 24)\)\\\\\(S_8 = 4 \cdot 27\)\\\\\(S_8 = 108\)[/tex]

So, the sum of the first 8 terms of the series is 108.

Answer:

What is the value of x?

x = 40 degrees.

What is the measure of angle AFE?

Angle AFE = 140 degrees

What is the measure of angle BFD?

Angle BFD = 140 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle AFC is 90 degrees.

To find angle x, we have to subtract angle BFC.

90 - 50 = 40 degrees.

Line BFE is 180 degrees.

To find angle AFE, we have to subtract angle x from 180 degrees.

We have solved x already.

180 - 40 = 140 degrees.

Angle BFD is just 90 degrees plus 50 degrees.

90 + 50 = 140 degrees.

Answer:

x = 40

m<AFE = 140

m<BFD = 140

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Finding X

As one can see, AD is a straight line (hence the three angles that add up to is equal 180 degrees). It is given that m<CFD is 90 degrees (signified by the box).

Given;

AD - straight line

m<AFB + m<BFC + m<CFD = 180

( m<AFB, m<BFC, m<CFD form line AD, the degree measures in al ine equal 180, hence m<AFB + m<BFC + m<CFD = 180)

m<BFC = 50

m<CFD = 90 (signified by box around it)

m<AFB + m<BFC + m<CFD = 180                   parts whole postulate

x + 50 + 90 = 180                                             substitution

x + 140 = 180                                                     algebra

x = 40

2. Finding m<AFE and m<BFD

When two straight lines intersect, four angles are formed. The angles that are opposite to each other are called vertical angles, and vertical angles are congruent in other words, have the same measure.

Given;

m<BFD = m< AFE

m<BFC + m<CFD = m<BFD

m<BFC = 50

m<CFD = 90

m<BFC + m<CFD = m<BFD                           Given (parts whole postulate)

50 + 90 = m<BFD                                           substitution

140 = m<BFD                                                  algebra

140 = m<BFD = m<AFE                                  substition

A number is first decreased by 40% and then again decreased by 60%. Find the percentage increase or decrease in the whole sum...please tell quickly

Answers

Answer:

It is decreased by 76 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key skills are percentage and multiplication with percentages.

You first have to get a variable. Let's use the letter o as a variable (o For orginial cost). Then we have to find out how much it is when o is decreased by 40 percent. 100% (or the whole) - 40% is 60%. Therefore, with a 40 percent decrease, It would be 60% of o, or 0.6o. Then, if it decreases by 60 percent, the final number would be 100% - 60 % or 40% of 0.6o. This means itbwould be 0.4 × 0.6o which is 0.24o0.24o means that o is 24 percent of its orginial number, which is 100% - 24% or a 76 percent decrease.

Sushi was thinking of a number. Sushi doubles it,then adds 20 to get an answer of 27.7 what was the original number

Answers

Answer:

3.85

Step-by-step explanation

7.7 divided by 2 = 3.85

So if you double 3.85 you get 7.7 and then add 20 to 7.7 then you get 27.7

Let the number they are thinking of be X.

They double x , which would be 2x.

They then add 20, which would be 2x +20

So you have 2x + 20 = 27.7

Now we can solve for x:

Subtract 20 from both sides:

2x = 7.7

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 7.7 / 2

x = 3.85

The original number was 3.85

Answer:

x = 9 cm

y = 30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the lengths of the missing sides

Mathematically if two shapes are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Thus, we have that:

15/50 = x/30

50 * x = 15 * 30

x = (15 * 30)/50

x = 450/50

x = 9 cm

Also;

y/50 = 18/30

30 * y = 50 * 18

y = (50 * 18)/30

y = 30 cm

Which of the following will always be true of a graph that is non-proportional?

please help.

Answers

Given:

Consider any graph that is non-proportional.

To find:

The correct statement that is true of a graph that is non-proportional.

Solution:

We know that, if y is proportional to x, then

[tex]y\propto x[/tex]

[tex]y=kx[/tex]

where, k is constant of proportionality.

In these cases if x=0, then y=0. It means the graph always pass through the origin, i.e., (0,0).

So, if a graph is not passes through (0,0), then it is non-proportional.

Thus, non-proportional graph will not pass through (0,0).

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Isaiah is working two summer jobs, making $16 per hour tutoring and $10 per hour clearing tables. Isaiah must earn at least $110 this week. Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of hours tutoring, tt, and the number of hours clearing tables, cc, that Isaiah can work in a given week.

Answers

Answer:

16t + 10c > 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of tutoring per hour = $16

So, cost of tutoring t hours = $16t

Cost of clearing tables per hour = $10

So, cost of clearing tables c hours = $10c

Since, Isaiah must earn at least $110 this week.

Therefore, the required inequality will be given as:

16t + 10c > 110
