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

Only find the vertex and axis of symmetry
lara [203]

Answer:

vertex (5,2)

axis of symmetry: x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

vertex (h,k)

y = a(x - h)² + k

f(x)=(x-5)²+2        a = 1     h = 5      k = 2

vertex (5 , 2)

The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola. The x -coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola.

x = 5

Small Square: 2, Area of 4

Mid Square: 3, Area of 9

Mid White Square: 5, Area of 25

Big Square: 8, Area of 64

1 + 4 + 9 + 64 = 78
