Answer:

\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Series 5+11+17+...+251

To find:

  • Summation notation of the given series

Summation Notation:

\displaystyle \large{\sum_{k=1}^n a_k}

Where n is the number of terms and \displaystyle \large{a_k} is general term.

First, determine what kind of series it is, there are two main series that everyone should know:

  • Arithmetic Series

A series that has common difference.

  • Geometric Series

A series that has common ratio.

If you notice and keep subtracting the next term with previous term:

  • 11-5 = 6
  • 17-11 = 6

Two common difference, we can in fact say that the series is arithmetic one. Since we know the type of series, we have to find the number of terms.

Now that brings us to arithmetic sequence, we know that first term is 5 and last term is 251, we’ll be finding both general term and number of term using arithmetic sequence:

<u>Arithmetic Sequence</u>

\displaystyle \large{a_n=a_1+(n-1)d}

Where \displaystyle \large{a_n} is the nth term, \displaystyle \large{a_1} is the first term and \displaystyle \large{d} is the common difference:

So for our general term:

\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+(n-1)6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+6n-6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=6n-1}

And for number of terms, substitute \displaystyle \large{a_n} = 251 and solve for n:

\displaystyle \large{251=6n-1}\\\displaystyle \large{252=6n}\\\displaystyle \large{n=42}

Now we can convert the series to summation notation as given the formula above, substitute as we get:

\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)

What is the converse of the following statement? If a number is odd, it is not divisible by two.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Converse in discrete mathematics is switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.

So the correct answer will be that If a number is not divisible by two, then it is an odd number. Which is option D.

The math converse of a statement switches the if and then, resulting in a statement that may or may not be true so we have no guarantee that the preposition is true or not.

Please help! Correct answer only! This assignment is due today.
Bas_tet [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Well they made 19 clay, where 12 were vases. That means 7 were not vases. She randomly chooses 16 clay objects, which then also means 3 were left behind. so if the vases are  12/19, which is approximately 63%, then 63% of the objects are vases. Makes sense, right? Well now we need to multiply that by the initial 11 in the question. After all of this work..

Answer: 6.9474 or 6.94736.
