If the pth term of an A.P. is q and the qth term is p. Prove that its nth term is (p+q-n). ​

Answers

Answer 1
Given:

pth term of an AP = q

qth term = p

Prove:

nth term of A.P. is (p+q-n). ​

Proof:

We know that,

nth term of an AP (an) = a + (n - 1)d

Hence,

⟹ a + (p - 1)d = q

⟹ a + pd - d = q

⟹ a = q - pd + d -- equation (1)

Similarly,

⟹ a + (q - 1)d = p

Substitute the value of a from equation (1).

⟹ q - pd + d + qd - d = p

⟹ qd - pd = p - q

⟹ - d(p - q) = p - q

⟹ - d = 1

⟹ d = - 1

Substitute the value of d in equation (1).

⟹ a = q - p( - 1) + ( - 1)

⟹ a = q + p - 1

Now,

an = q + p - 1 + (n - 1)( - 1)

⟹ an = q + p - 1 - n + 1

⟹ an = p + q - n

Hence, Proved.

I hope it will help you.

Regards.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER

pth term = q

a+(p−1)d=q

qth term = p

a+(q−1)d=p

Solving these equations, we get,

d=−1

a=(p+q−1)

Thus,

nth term = a+(n−1)d=(p+q−1)+(n−1)×(−1)=(p+q−n)

Maggie‘s brother is 11 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 54. How old is Maggie?

Answers

Answer:

Maggie is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, I just kept trying ages starting from 10 because I knew it wasn't going to be less than that. Then I did whatever age, in this case 13, and multiply it by  4. Then minus 11 from that number. Then take that end number and add it to the beginning number(maggies age) and you should get 54.

Math Equation Explanation:

13*4 = 52                           (Maggies Age) x 4

52-11= 41                            The question stated that Maggie's brother was 11                                             -------------------------------------years younger than her age times 4.

41 + 13 =54                          The sum of both their ages.

What is the value of f(-3) if f(x) = -5x - 1

Answers

Divide both sides by three

Answer:

F(-3)= -14

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= -5x-1

f(x)=-5(-3)-1

f(x)= -15-1

f(x)=-14

Given f(x)=70+11x, find f(x)=158

Answers

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you need to find which x value fits this.

So set the two equations equal to each other

158=70+11x, subtract 70 from both sides

88=11x, now, divide by 11 to get x by itself,

8=x, to find these answers, use a calculator or any other method you want.

balcony 84 feet above the ground and throws a penny
straight down with an initial velocity of 10 feet per second,
in how many seconds will it reach the ground?
A. 2 seconds
B. 3 seconds
C. 6 seconds
D. 8 seconds

Answers

Answer: 2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

An object take 2 seconds to reach to the ground. option A is correct.

An object that is projected straight downward with initial velocity v feet pee second.
s = vt + 16t2
s = 84 feet and v = 10

What is Velocity?

Velocity is ratio of displacement to the time.

We have equation.
s = vt + 16t2
Now, put s =  84 and v = 10
84 = 10t+16t2
8t2+10t-42=0
Taking roots of equation.
We get t = 2 and -21/8
Since time couldn't be negative.
So,
t = 2  

Thus, An object take 2 seconds to reach to the ground.

56 men can do a work in 42 days then how many men will do the same work in 14 days ​

Answers

Given : 56 men can do a work in 42 days .

To Find : In how many men will do the same work in 14 days .

Solution : We will use Unitary method here to solve the above problem . This is a case of inversely proportional that is when one will increase the other will decreases . Here if the number of men will increase then the number of days will decrease and vice - versa .

If in 42 days 56 men can do the work ,

Then in 1 day 42 × 56 men can do the work .

Then in 14 days , [tex]\sf \dfrac{42\times\cancel{56}}{\cancel{14}}[/tex] will do the work = 168 .

Answers

Answer: 92

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's our set-up:

(70 + 75 + 80 + 83 + x) / 5 = 80

Simplify:

(308 + x) / 5 = 80

Multiply both sides by 5:

308 + x = 400

Subtract 308 from both sides:

x = 92

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get an 80 in 5 tests, he needs to accumulate 400 points.

If he accumulated 80+70+75+83 points, 308, he would need a 92 on the next test to get an 80 average.

Write an equation for B , B, in terms of t , t, representing the charge remaining in Lucy's battery, as a percentage, t t hours after Lucy left her house.

Answers

Answer:

B = 40 - 8t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rate at which battery life discharges = 8% per hour ;

Battery life left after 3 hours = 16%

t = hours after Lucy left hiuse

Equation B will be ;

Amount of charge before leaving home - (Discharge rate * number hours)

Amount of charge before leaving home :

Charge left after 3 hours + discharge rate * 3

16% + 8*3

16% + 24% = 40%

Hence,

B = 40 - 8t
