There are 4 terms in this series
That's because the summation (Sigma) goes from 3 to 6 inclusive. So k takes on values of 3,4,5,6
You could use this summation formula
Formula
Sum = (a + L)n/2
Substitution
a is the first term.
k = 3 for the first term
a = -5k + 20
a = -5(3) + 20
a = -15 + 20
a = 5
For the last term k = 6
L = -5(6) + 20
L = -30 + 20
L = - 10
Sum
Sum = (5 - 10)*4/2
Sum = -5 * 2
Sum = -10
Comment
You may wonder how come the last term and the sum are the same. The reason to be found by figuring out the 4 terms and adding them together.
When k = 3, -5k + 20 = -15 + 20 = 5
When k = 4, -5k + 20 = -20 + 20 = 0
When k = 5, -5k + 20 = -25 + 20 = -5
When k = 6, -5k + 20 = -30 + 20 = -10
Sum = 5 + 0 - 5 - 10 = - 10
Conclusion.
It is an accident of the numbers.
Answer: - 10 = the Sum
The answer is choice 4, they add up to 180°
Answer:
Angle 8 = 84 degrees
Angle 5 = 96 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle 8 = 84 degrees because Angle 2 and Angle 8 are inside opposite which makes them equivalent.
Angle 5 = 96 degrees because 180-84=96
Answer:
The selling price would be Rs 52.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Rs 50 is the actual cost and the 5% profit will amount to Rs 2.5 (50*5%) so total total sales price would be Rs 52.5( Rs 50 + Rs 2.5)
Another way to calculate is (Rs 50 * 1.05) = 52.5
Check the picture below.
bear in mind that, a perpendicular line stemming from the right-angle like so, creates three similar triangles, a
large one, containing the other two smaller ones, a
medium and a
small.
so.. .we can just use the medium and small proportions.
solve for "x".
