Identify the 42nd term of an arithmetic sequence where a1 = -12 and a27 = 66

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The arithmetic formula is expressed as an = a1 + d *(n-1)where n is an integer. Substituting from the given a1 = -12 and a27 = 66, 66 = -12 + d *(27-1). hence  , d is equal to 3. a42 thus using the formula is equal to 111. The final answer to this problem is 111.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

42nd term is 111

Step-by-step explanation:

a_1=-12,a_(27)=66

Now, Using formula of nth term of an A.P. we have :

a_n=a+(n-1)* d\n\text{Take n=27}\n\implies a_(27)=-12+(27-1)* d\n\implies 66=-12+26\cdot d\n\implies 26\cdot d = 78\n\implies d = 3

Now, first term a = -12 , n = 42 and d = 3

So, 42nd term is :

a_(42)=-12+(42-1)* 3\n\implies a_(42)=-12+41* 3\n\implies a_(42)=-12+123\n\bf\implies a_(42)=111

Hence, 42nd term is 111

5x+y=2 2x3y=62
whatn is x and y

Answers

5x + y = 2      ⇒ 10x + 5y = 4
2x + 3y = 62  ⇒ 10x + 15y = 310
                                   -10y = -306
                                    -10      -10
                                         y = -30.6
                            5x - 30.6 = 2
                                 +30.6  +30.6
                                      5x = 32.6
                                       5        5
                                        x = 6.52
                                   (x, y) = (6.52, -30.6)
ok sure!
first we have to find y

so...
lets start with the first one:

5x+y=2 (we cannot have two variables together so:
5x+y=2
   -y =-y  so.. now we have 5x= 2-y (but we must get y positive and by itself!) 
                                             -2    = -2
  so: now you have 
5x-2=-y but need a positive variable so multiply each side by a (-1) 
(-1) 5x-2=-y (-1) So..
-5x +2 =y so now we know Y!
therefore whenever you see why in the next problem insert in its place: -5x +2 
 
I hope it helps!! :)

Given the function f (x) = 8x2 - 14x – 10, find f -2).

Answers

Remember from now on ;

If the value of f(x) is asked, we put what thing written in parentheses inside the function instead of x. It doesn't different what is written, we just have to replace it with x.

Got it ?

Now Let's do it .....

f( x) = 8 {x}^(2) - 14x - 10

f( - 2) = 8({ - 2})^(2) - 14( - 2) - 10 \n

f( - 2) = 8 * 4 + 28 - 10

f( - 2) = 32 + 28 - 10

f( - 2) = 60 - 10

f( - 2) = 50

Evaluate the following y^2-5y+2

Answers

If y = 3, then you substitute 3 into wherever it says y.

So the original: 
y² - 5y + 2

becomes:
3² - 5×3 + 2.

which is:
9 - 15 + 2.

9 - 15 = -6
-6 + 2 = -4.

-4 is the answer.
