Answer:

S₁₆ = 328

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

given a₄ = 7 and a₇ = 16 , then

a₁ + 3d = 7 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 16 → (2)

subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

0 + 3d = 9

3d = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

d = 3

substitute d = 3 into (1) and solve for a₁

a₁ + 3(3) = 7

a₁ + 9 = 7 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

a₁ = - 2

the sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

with a₁ = - 2 and d = 3 , then

S₁₆ = \frac{16}{2} [ (2 × - 2) + (15 × 3) ]

     = 8(- 4 + 45)

     = 8 × 41

     = 328

8 to 11 do it with equations thx
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8. 4\geq x+\frac{3}{4}

4(4\geq x+\frac{3}{4} )

16\geq 4x + 3

-3         -3

13\geq 4x

\frac{13}{4}\geq \frac{4x}{4}

\frac{13}{4} \geq x = x\leq \frac{13}{4}

x\leq \frac{13}{4}=3.25

9. x-3\leq -8

       +3     +3

x\leq -5}

10. 4\leq x-7

  +7         +7

11\leq x=x\geq 11

11. 6.9 < x - 2.3

 + 2.3      + 2.3

 9.2 < x = x > 9.2

Hope this helps!
