The 1st row has 15 chairs.

The 2nd row has 15 + 3 = 18 chairs.

The 3rd row has 18 + 3 = 15 + 2•3 = 21 chairs.

The 4th row has 21 + 3 = 15 + 3•3 = 24 chairs.

The pattern continues, so that the n-th row has 15 + (n - 1)•3 = 3n + 12 chairs.

If there are 15 rows, then the total number of chairs is

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{15} (3n + 12) = 3 \sum_{n=1}^{15} n + 12 \sum_{n=1}^{15} 1 = 3\cdot\frac{15\cdot16}2 + 12\cdot15 = \boxed{540}

where we use the formulas

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N 1 = N

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N n = \frac{N(N+1)}2

If someone ran over a dog could they die if they neck breaks
bixtya [17]

Explanation:

it depends on which part he ran over. dogs are said to be of high strength, any action of inadequate pressure or power would not necessarily be fatal. if the right amount of energy is used at the right spot, for example an artery running through the neck ( like the carotid artery) or something. but since the dog apparently vanished, we could make out that it is not exactly dead

Jack invested $500 in the shares of a company x and $750
-BARSIC- [3]

Assuming he sold all the shares of both companies for $600 and $900 respectively. what the ratio of return on investment from company x to that from company y will be is : 2:3

First step is to calculate x return on investment

x return on investment = $600 - $500

x return on investment= $100

Second step is to calculate y return on investment

y return on investment= $900 - $750

y return on investment= $150

Now let determine the ratio of return on investment from company x to that from company y

Using this formula

Ratio of return on investment=x return on investment/y return on investment

Let plug in the formula

Ratio of return on investment=100/150

Ratio of return on investment=2/3

Ratio of return on investment=2:3

Inconclusion assuming he sold all the shares of both companies for $600 and $900 respectively. what the ratio of return on investment from company x to that from company y will be is : 2:3

Identify the functions of and problems with schemas.
vivado [14]

The Functions of Schemas:
1. Schemas help us to quickly interpret and categorize information. They allow us to make sense of the world around us by organizing it into meaningful categories and providing us with a framework for understanding and interpreting new information.

Problems with Schemas:
1. Schemas can lead to oversimplification and premature closure. Once we have a schema in place, we may be inclined to assume that it is the only way to interpret a situation or to assume that all new information will fit into the same categories. This can lead to inaccurate interpretations or assumptions.

What is Schemas?
Schemas
are mental structures that help organize and interpret information. They are used to interpret sensory information, organize memories, and make predictions about the future. Schemas provide a framework for understanding and interpreting the world around us. They influence the way we perceive, think, and act. Schemas are often developed through experience and can be used to guide behavior. They can also be used to understand how people create meaning in their lives. Schemas are constantly evolving and changing as we encounter new experiences. They help us make sense of the world around us and can be used to explain why people behave the way they do.
