Math, asked by Papa123, 1 year ago

If s = n/2(2a+(n-1)d) find a) a, when s = 185 n = 10 and d = 3 b) d, when a = 8 s = 380 and n =10


neelimagundu: mentioning units is important dear,in questions especially as well as answers.

a) 185=10/2(2a+(5-1)3)
      = 5(2a+(4*3))
      = 10a+60              (4*3=12; nd 12*5=60)
185-60=10a 
125/10=a
∴a=12.5

neelimagundu: yeah.... ! its wrong!!
vee1: n=10 not 5
dreamgirl123: ik.... bt 10/2= 5
neelimagundu: answer is::
dreamgirl123: is?
neelimagundu: a) a=5 m/s2
neelimagundu: b) d= 60/9 m
vee1: a=5
dreamgirl123: where did m and m/s2 come from?
neelimagundu: those are the units for distance(d)  and acceleration (a)

As s=n/2(2a +(n-1)d put the value where s=185, n=10 and d=3 185=10/2{2a+(10-1)3} 185=5{2a+(9*3)} 185=5{2a+27} 185=10a+135 185-135=10a a=50/10 a=5 As given S=380, a=8 and n=10 380=10/2{2*8+(10-1)d} 380=5{16+9d} 380/5=16+9d 76=16+9d 76-16 = 9d 60 = 9d d = 60/9 d = 6.666
