Find the first 3 terms of arithmetic sequence if t5=-154 and t9=-274. find t1, t2, t3

t1 = -34; t2 = -64; t3 = -94

d is the distance between numbers (d > 0)

we have:

t5 = t1 + 4d = -154

t9 = t1 + 8d = -274

we have the equations:

t1 + 4d = -154

t1 + 8d = -274

<=> t1 = -34

      d = -30

with t1 = -34 and = -30 => t2 = -34 - 30 = -64

                                          t3 = -64 - 30 = -94

step-by-step explanation: 4 cause 2+2=4

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
