Answer:

Summation notation is:

\sum_{n=1}^{16}[5(x-1)-9]

If you prefer it a little more simplified:

\sum_{n=1}^{16}(5x-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

First my favorite part, finding a pattern between the consecutive terms.

This is an arithmetic series because the terms are going up by 5 each time.

So arithmetic sequence, think linear equations:

x     |      y

1            -9

2           -4

3             1

4             6

..................

n             66

We are going to have to find that n but will will eventually...

The equation for a line in point slope form is y-y_1=m(x_x_1) where (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

We are already have the slope is 5 (the slope is the common difference in arithmetic sequence).

I'm going to use the first point (1,-9).

So the equation in point slope form is y-(-9)=5(x-1)

Subtract 9 on both sides:

y=5(x-1)-9

Now we need to know how many terms we are adding so what is x if y=66.

66=5(x-1)-9

Add 9 on both sides:

75=5(x-1)

Divide both sides by 5:

15=x-1

Add 1 on both sides:

16=x

We have 16 terms in this sequence where the 16th term is 66.

Summation notation is:

\sum_{n=1}^{16}[5(x-1)-9]

You could simplify the 5(x-1)-9.

Distribute:  5x-5-9

Add like terms:  5x-14

Side AB of parallelogram ABCD has endpoints at (-1,6) and (6,9). What is the slope of the opposite side, CD?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite sides on a parallelogram are parallel, and parallel lines have the same slope, so once we find the slope of AB, we'll know the slope of CD. Point A is (-1,6) and point B is (6,9), so the slope of AB (and by extension, CD) is

\dfrac{9-6}{6-(-1)}=\dfrac{3}{7}
