Answer:

\sum_{n=1}^{10}(-1)^n\left ( \frac{n+1}{n+4} \right )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: \frac{-2}{5}+\frac{3}{6}-\frac{4}{7}+...+\frac{11}{14}

To write: the given expression using summation notation

Solution:

Summation notation helps to write a long sum as a single expression.

In the summation notation, the variable \sum is called the index of summation.

Let x_1,x_2,x_3,...,x_n denote a set of n numbers.

Then in summation notation,

x_1+x_2+x_3+...+x_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_i

\frac{-2}{5}=(-1)^1\left ( \frac{1+1}{1+4} \right )\\\frac{3}{6}=(-1)^2\left ( \frac{2+1}{2+4} \right )\\\frac{-4}{7}=(-1)^3\left ( \frac{3+1}{3+4} \right )\\.\\.\\.\\\frac{11}{14}=(-1)^10\left ( \frac{10+1}{10+4} \right )\\\therefore \frac{-2}{5}+\frac{3}{6}-\frac{4}{7}+...+\frac{11}{14}=\sum_{n=1}^{10}(-1)^n\left ( \frac{n+1}{n+4} \right )

What is the area of the largest rectangle that can be inscribed in an isosceles triangle with side lengths $8$, $\sqrt{80}$, and
e-lub [12.9K]
First let's solve the general case for an isosceles triangle of base 2 and height k. If the triangle is drawn so the base is on the x-axis and the apex is on the y-axis, the equation for the line containing the right side is
  y = -k(x-1)
Then a rectangle with x-dimension w will have an area that is the product of this width and the height y = -k((w/2)-1).
  area = w(-k(w/2 -1)) = (-k/2)w² +kw
The derivative of area with respect to w will be zero where the area is a maximum:
  d(area)/dw = 0 = -kw +k
  w = 1 . . . . . . add kw and divide by k
Using the formula for area, we find
  area = 1(-k(1/2-1)) = k/2
This value is 1/2 the total area of the triangle we started with.

If the side lengths of your triangle are 8, √80, and √80, the height will be given by the Pythagorean theorem as
  h = √((√80)² - (1/2·8)²) = √(80-16) = 8
Your triangle's area will be
  triangle area = (1/2)(8)(8) = 32

The maximum area of the inscribed rectangle will be half this value,
  16 square units

In a mathematics class, half of the students scored 79 on an achievement test. With the exception of a few students
Yakvenalex [24]
In this situation, you have:
The mode is 79 (that’s the most common number).
The median is 78.5 (the middle value or the average of the two middle values, since there is an even number of test scores).
The mean is less than both of those, as it was brought down by the few scores of 49.

The means the mean will be less than median.

Find the sum using the formulas for the sums of powers of integers ( problem attached )
Natasha2012 [34]

Correct Answer: - 550

We can use the distributive property to distribute the summation to the variables and then get the constant out to apply the summation formulas as shown below in the attached image.

The equation editor does not have a summation symbol, so I have attached the solution using the image.

The correct answer to this question is -550. First option is the correct one.
