The area of a trapezoid is 140 cm2 and the height is 20 cm. What is the sum of the bases?

A. 14 cm

B. 49 cm

C. 60 cm

D. 7 cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The progression of sums is ...

  1, 5, 15, 34, 65, ...

So, first differences are ...

  4, 10, 19, 31

Second differences are ...

  6, 9, 12, ...

Third differences are constant:

  3, 3, ...

This means the expression for Sn will be a cubic expression. If dn is the first of the n-th differences, then the equation can be written as ...

  Sn = S1 +(n -1)(d1 +(n -2)/2(d2 +(n -3)/3(d3)))

And this simplifies a little bit to ...

  Sn = 1 +(n -1)(4 +(n -2)(n +3)/2)

In simpler form, we have ...

  Sn = 1/2(n³ +n)

Then the two terms we're interested in are ...

  S7 = (1/2)(7³ +7) = 175

  S17 = (1/2)(17³ +17) = 2465

Each term Sₙ consists of the sum of a triangular number of terms, which are given by

[tex]T_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + n = \frac{n(n+1)}2[/tex]

The triangular numbers are given recursively for n ≥ 1 by

[tex]T_n = T_{n-1} + n[/tex]

starting with T₀ = 0.

For example,

• S₁ = 1 and

[tex]\displaystyle S_1 = \sum_{k=T_0+1}^{T_1} k = \sum_{k=1}^1 k = 1[/tex]

• S₂ = 2 + 3 and

[tex]\displaystyle S_2 = \sum_{k=T_1+1}^{T_2} k = \sum_{k=2}^3 k = 2 + 3[/tex]

• S₃ = 4 + 5 + 6 and

[tex]\displaystyle S_3 = \sum_{k=T_2+1}^{T_3} k = \sum_{k=4}^6 k = 4 + 5 + 6[/tex]

Then the n-th term of the sequence we're considering is

[tex]S_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=T_{n-1}+1}^{T_n} k = \sum_{k=T_{n-1}+1}^{T_{n-1}+n} k[/tex]

Expanding this sum, we have

[tex]S_n = \left(T_{n-1}+1\right) + \left(T_{n-1}+2\right) + \left(T_{n-1}+3\right) + \cdots + \left(T_{n-1}+n\right)[/tex]

There are n terms on the right side, and hence n copies of [tex]T_{n-1}[/tex], and the rest of the terms make up the next triangular number [tex]T_n[/tex] :

[tex]S_n = nT_{n-1} + 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + n[/tex]

[tex]S_n = nT_{n-1} + \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k[/tex]

[tex]S_n = nT_{n-1} + T_n[/tex]

We have a closed form for [tex]T_n[/tex], so we end up with

[tex]S_n = n \cdot \dfrac{(n-1)n}2 + \dfrac{n(n+1)}2 \implies \boxed{S_n=\dfrac{n^3+n}2}[/tex]

From here it's easy to find S₇ and S₁₇.

[tex]S_7 = \dfrac{7^3+7}2 \implies \boxed{S_7 = 175}[/tex]

[tex]S_{17} = \dfrac{17^3+17}2 \implies \boxed{S_{17} = 2465}[/tex]

Answer:

A. 30% B. 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 72,000/240,000 = x/100

(72,000)(100) = (240,000)x

7,200,000 = 240,000x

30 = x

B. 108,000/240,000 = x/100

The answer is 9

Explanation:

0.5a+8.75=13.25

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

0.5a+8.75=13.25

We move all terms containing a to the left and all other terms to the right.

+ 0.5a=+13.25-8.75

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+ 0.5a=+4.5

We divide both sides of the equation by 0.5 to get a.

a=9

Answer: 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

30% is equal to 30/100, which is 0.3

If you times 0.3 by 15, you will get 30% of 15

Therefore the answer would be 0.3 x 15 = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The line shifted up 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the feasible region of the constraints is (0,2.5)

The constraints are given as:

x + 3y ≤ 6

4x + 6y ≥ 9

x ≥ 0,  y ≥ 0

Express the inequalities as equations

x + 3y = 6

4x + 6y = 9

Make x the subject in x + 3y = 6

x = 6 - 3y

Substitute x = 6 - 3y in 4x + 6y = 9

4(6 - 3y) + 6y = 9

Expand

24 - 12y + 6y = 9

Evaluate the like terms

-6y = -15

Divide by 6

y = 2.5

Substitute y = 2.5 in x = 6 - 3y

x = 6 - 3 * 2.5

Evaluate

x = -1.5

So, we have:

(x,y) = (-1.5, 2.5)

Recall that: x ≥ 0,  y ≥ 0

This means that the feasible region must have positive coordinates or zero

So, we set x = 0

(x,y) = (0, 2.5)

Hence, the vertices of the feasible region of the constraints is (0,2.5)

Relation

Hope it correct!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

in total we have 3+4 = 7 balls.

when we draw the first ball, the probability to draw a red ball is 3/7, and a blue ball 4/7.

when we draw the second ball, we have now only 6 balls in total.

the probabilty to draw a red back now depends also on the result of the first draw.

if the first ball was already red, then we have only a chance now of 2 out of 6.

if the first ball was blue, then we have now a chance of 3 out of 6.

so, the probably to draw at least 1 red ball in 2 draws is the probability of drawing one on the first draw plus the probability of drawing one on the second :

1 - probability to see 2 blue balls

1 - 4/7 × 3/6 = 1 - 12/42 = 30/42 = 0.714285714...

the expected number of red balls in 2 draws is

1 red in first red in first red in second

but not second and second but not first

1×(3/7 × 4/6) + 2×(3/7 × 2/6) + 1×(4/7 × 3/6) = 12/42 + 12/42 + 12/42 = 36/42 = 6/7 = 0.857142857 ≈ 0.8571

Answer:

48 is 25% of 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

25 and 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lowest number be x then the other is 2x + 7, So:

x(2x + 7) = 1425

2x^2 + 7x - 1425 = 0

2 * - 1425 = -2850 = -2 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 19

We need 2 numbers whose product is -2850 and whose sum is + 7.

These are 3 * 19 = 57 and -2* 5 * 5 = -50 so we write:

2x^2 - 50x + 57x - 1425 = 0  Now we factor by grouping:

2x(x - 25) + 57( x - 25) = 0)

(2x + 57) ( x - 25) = 0

x = -57, 25.

We ignore the negative as we are given that the number is positive,

x = 25 is one number and the other is 2(25) + 7 = 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

the distributive property states that a(bx+c) is equal to abx+ac. in this expression, a is 7, b is 3, and c is negative 4. ab is 7*3, which is 21, so abx is 21x. ac is 7*-4, which is -28. combining these two results in 21x-28.

Answer:

21x-28

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute the 7 to the 3x & the -4

you get 21x-28

m=-1 and c=8 for the line  y = 8 − x

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

The given equation is  y = 8 − x

This equation we can write in the form of slope intercept form

y=-x+8

y=(-1)x+8

Now compare the above equation with slope intercept form

m=-1 and c=8

Hence, m=-1 and c=8 for the line  y = 8 − x
