What is the sum of the numbers in the series? 15 + 11 + 7 + . . . + (–129)

1 answer:

3 0

Using Gauss's method
Total number of terms = [15-(-129)]/4+1=36+1=37
Add
S=15+11+7+....-125-129
S=-129-125-...+7+11+15
--------------------------------
2S=-114-114-114...(37 times)
=>
sum=S=(1/2)*(-114)*37=-2109

Using AP, T(n)=15+11+7+....-129
T(n)=19-4n => T(1)=15, T(37)=-129
S(n)=(1/2)(37)(T(1)+T(37)=(1/2)37(15-129)=2109

Answer:

Is the w2, w(2) or

${w}^{2}$

If it's w(2) the answer is -4--8+1=-4+8+1=5

if it's w^2 then the answer would be 4--8+1=4+8+1=13

Robin can clean 72 rooms in 6 days how many can he clean in 9 days

Monica [59]

Let's put it this way.
It's a ratio of 6:72 and we need to change it in a way to find number of rooms cleaned in 9 days.

Divide 6 & 72 both by 2
Ratio is now 3:36

Multiply 3 & 36 both by 3
Ratio is now 9:108

The number of rooms in which Robin can clean in 9 days is 108 rooms.
