We notice that the sum is Σ= n(n+1),

Then the SUM of the first 25 even numbersis equal to 25(25+1) = 25 x 26

Even number are of the form 2n. The sum of this sequence is the average of the first and last terms times the number of terms.

So the first term is 2 and the 25th term is 50 so the sum is:

(2+50)(25/2)

52*12.5=650

The conjecture they wish you to make is that for n terms, the sum will be:

s=n(n+1)

And for 25 terms that would give you:

s=25*26=650

Whenever you have __% more of something and want to find the new value, first convert the percent to a decimal. Then multiply the original value by (1.00+that decimal).

You have 6480 kg of sugar. 75%=0.75. If you want 75% more sugar, you would want 6480*(1.00+0.75) = 6480*(1.75) = 11,340 kg of sugar.

an equation of a circle is x2 + y2 + 10x – 6y + 18 = 0. . . . A.Show all your work in determining the center and radius of this

MariettaO [177]

A circle is a set of points in a plane equidistant from a fixed point. It has a general formula of x² + y² = r². This is if the center is at the origin. However, if the center at point h and k, the equation becomes (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r².

We write the given equation in the form (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² by completing the square.

x² + y² + 10x – 6y + 18 = 0

(x² + 10x + 25 )+ (y² - 6y + 9) = −18 + 25 + 9 = 16
(x + 5)² + (y + 3)² = (4)²

Therefore,

center = (-5, -5)
radius = 4

The smallest object visible with your eyes is similar to the width of a piece of hair, which is 1×10−4 meters wide. Using an opt

Sloan [31]

Answer:

B. $5\times10^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the smallest object visible with our eyes is similar to the width of a piece of hair, which is $1\times 10^{-4}$ meters wide.

Using an optical microscope, we can see items up to $2\times 10^{-7}$ meters wide.

To find the objects we can see with our eyes are how much larger than the objects we can see with an optical microscope, we can set an equation as:

$\frac{\text{The width of the object we can see with our eyes}}{\text{The width of the objects we can see with microscope}}=\frac{1*10^{-4}}{2*10^{-7}}$

Using the exponent rule of quotient $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$ we will get,

$\frac{\text{The width of the object we can see with our eyes}}{\text{The width of the objects we can see with microscope}}=\frac{1}{2}*10^{-4-(-7)}$

$\frac{\text{The width of the object we can see with our eyes}}{\text{The width of the objects we can see with microscope}}=0.5*10^{-4+7}$

$\frac{\text{The width of the object we can see with our eyes}}{\text{The width of the objects we can see with microscope}}=0.5*10^{3}$

$\frac{\text{The width of the object we can see with our eyes}}{\text{The width of the objects we can see with microscope}}=0.5*10\times 10^{3-1}$

$\text{The object we can see with our eyes}=5\times10^{2}*\text{The objects we can see with microscope}$

Therefore, the objects we can see with our eyes are $5\times10^{2}$ times larger than the objects we can see with an optical microscope and option B is the correct choice.
