In a arithmetic sequence with a^1=12, d=3 which term is equal to 159?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

50th term is 159

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term=159

a + (n -1)*d = 159

12 + (n-1)*3= 159

(n - 1)*3 = 159 - 12

(n - 1)*3 = 147

n -1 = 147/3

n - 1 = 49

n = 49 + 1

n= 50

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: n=50th term

Step-by-step explanation:

An= a1+(n-1)d

An= nth term

A1= first term

N= nth position

D= common difference

An =159

A1= 12

D= 3

N= ?

Substitute the values

An=a1+(n-1)d

159=12+(n-1)3

Collect like terms

159-12=(n-1)3

147=3n-3

147+3=3n

150=3n

N=150/3

N= 50

Therefore 50th term will give 156

What is 83/9 as a whole or mixed number

Answers

mixed number: 9 2/9

1. How many 9's go into 83 
2. It is 9 because 9*9 = 81                         9*10=90 is bigger so not possible
3. 2 is left because 83-81 = 2
4. And don't forget the denominator
9 goes in to 81-- 9 times.
83 minus 81 is 2...as a mixed number of is that 9 2/9

A Cart at the top of a 300m hill has a mass of 40kg. what is the carts gravitational potential energy?

Answers

Answer:

The cart gravitational potential energy is 117,600 Joule

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets define what a gravitational potential energy is.

A gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object that rise above a certain height surface.

The formula for calculating the gravitational potential energy(P.E) is m×g×h, where m is the mass of the object measured in kilograms(kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity measured in *(m/s²). It is a constant and always equal to 9.8 m/s²   on the earth surface and h is the height of the object above the surface in (m).

The gravitational potential energy is measured in Joules(J).

From the question, mass(m) is given as 40 kg  and the height(h) is 300m

and g=9.8m/s²

Gravitational Potential Energy(P.E) = m×g×h

                                                          =40 ×9.8 ×300

                                                          =117,600 Joules.

Therefore the cart gravitational potential energy is 117,600 Joules.

                                                     

g.p.e = mgh
m for mass = 40 kg
g for gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg
h for height = 300m

Plug them in:
g.p.e = 40 × 10 × 300
         = 120000 J
In terms of kilo joule:
1 kJ = 1000 J
so 120000 J = 120 kJ


−9⋅(5j+k) do distrubutibr property

Answers

Answer:

−9⋅(5j+k) =  -45j -9k.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : −9⋅(5j+k)

To find : distributive property.

Solution : −9⋅(5j+k)

By distributive property a( b +c ) = a*b + a*c.

Then  −9⋅(5j+k) =  -9 *5j + (-9 *k)

−9⋅(5j+k) =  -45j -9k.

Therefore, −9⋅(5j+k) =  -45j -9k.
