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.

S24 = 24·25 = 600 . . . . . . as required.

Answer:

$arc\ JM=132^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

step 1

we know that

$arc\ JM+arc\ ML+arc\ LK+arc\ KJ=360^o$ ----> by complete circle

substitute the given values

$(13x+2)^o+(8x-3)^o+(7x+7)^o+(5x+24)^o=360^o$

solve for x

$(33x+30)^o=360^o\\33x=360-30\\33x=330\\x=10$

step 2

Find the measure of arc JM

$arc\ JM=(13x+2)^o$

substitute the value of x

$arc\ JM=(13(10)+2)^o=132^o$

An antique store increases all of its prices by $40\%$, and then announces a $25\%$-off-everything sale. What percent of the ori

Nostrana [21]

Let X be the original price.
Do a 40% increase we get the price: X+0.4X=1.4X
Doing a 25% off we get the new price:
(1.4X)-0.25(1.4X)=1.05X
=X+0.05X.
The new prices are 5% increase from the original price.

What is the scale factor of polygon qrstu to poligon defgh

koban [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two polygons are similar, corresponding sides will have a constant ratio. So, the ratio between ST and FG will be the same as the scale factor between the two shapes.

$\dfrac{FG}{ST}=\dfrac{15}{36}=\dfrac{5}{12}$

Therefore, the correct answer is choice A. Hope this helps!

Which of these ordered pairs is a solution to the inequality y – 2x ≤ –3?

Archy [21]

The answer is D.(1,-1) the reason is -1(y)-2*1(x)=-3 so, -1-2*1 is less than or equal to -3.
