Answer:

24 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an arithmetic sequence is the average of the first and last terms, multiplied by the number of terms. The last term is given by ...

an = a1 + (n-1)d

We have a sequence with first term a1 = 2 and common difference d = 2. So the last term is ...

an = 2+ 2(n -1) = 2n

Then the average of first and last terms times the number of terms is ...

Sn = 600 = n(2 + 2n)/2 = n(n+1) . . . . . . close to n²

We can solve the quadratic in n, or we can estimate the value of n as the integer just below the square root of 600.

√600 ≈ 24.5

so we believe n = 24.

If 2x2 + y2 = 17 then evaluate the second derivative of y with respect to x when x = 2 and y = 3. Round your answer to 2 decimal

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

y''=-1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that $2x^2+y^2=17$

We have evaluate the second order derivative of y w.r.t. x when x=2 and y=3.

Differentiate w.r.t x

Then , we get

$4x+2yy'=0$

$2x+yy'=0$

$yy'=-2x$

$y'=-\frac{2x}{y}$

Again differentiate w.r.t.x

Then , we get

$2+(y')^2+yy''=0$ $(u\cdot v)'=u'v+v'u)$

$2+(y')^2+yy''=0$

Using value of y'

$yy''=-2-(-\frac{2x}{y})^2$

$y''=-\frac{2+(-\frac{2x}{y})^2}{y}$

Substitute x=2 and y=3

Then, we get $y''=-\frac{2+(\frac{4}{3})^2}{3}$

$y''=-\frac{18+16}{9\times 3}=-\frac{34}{27}$

Hence,y''=-1.26

An object is moving at a speed of 95 kilometers every 7.5 weeks. Express this speed in

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to use to get the speed is expressed as speed = Distance/Time

Given parameters

Distance = 94km

Time = 7.5weeks

Since we are to express the answer in feet per day, we will convert the distance to feet and time to days.

For the distance:

Given the conversion

1 km = 3280.84 feet

95km = (95*3280.84)feet

95km = 311,679.8 feet

For the time:

If 1 week = 7 days

7.5weeks = (7.5 * 7)

7.5weeks = 52.5 days

Speed In ft/day = 311,679.8 feet/ 52.5 days

Speed in ft/day = 5,936.76 feet/day

<em>Hence the speed in feet per day is 5,936.76 feet/day</em>

Kali left school and traveled toward her friend’s house at an average speed of 40

ioda

Matt needs to travel 3 hours.
If 40km=1 hour
400km=? But there are two distances
200/40*1=5 hours
Therefore Kali needs to travel 5 hours to be 200 km away from the house.
If 50km=1 hour
200km=?
200/50*1hr=4hrs Therefore Matt needs to travel 4hrs to be 200 km away from the house. But Kali traveled 1hr earlier than Matt. 4hrs-1hr=3hrs
Therefore Matt has to travel for 3 hours to be 400km away from Kali.
