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

Simplify (tan(θ)+cot(θ))/(sec(θ)•csc(θ)) completely

AlekseyPX

$\dfrac{\tan\theta+\cot\theta}{\sec\theta\csc\theta}=\dfrac{\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}+\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}}{\dfrac1{\cos\theta}\dfrac1{\sin\theta}}=\dfrac{\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta}1=1$

A jar contains 8 4/9 pounds of jam. If Sam eats 3 2/5 pounds of the jam, how many pounds of jam remains in the jar?

zepelin [54]

$\bf 8\frac{4}{9}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 9+4}{9}\implies \cfrac{76}{9}
\\\\\\
3\frac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+2}{5}\implies \cfrac{17}{5}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{76}{9}-\cfrac{17}{5}\impliedby \textit{let's use an LCD of 45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 76-9\cdot 17}{45}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{380-153}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}\implies \boxed{5\frac{2}{45}}
\\\\\\
5\frac{2}{45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 45+2}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}$

Which best describes the strength of the model? a weak positive correlation a strong positive correlation a weak negative correl

Akimi4 [234]

Correlation coefficient helps us to know how strong is the relation between two variables. The strength of the model is a strong positive correlation.

<h3>What is the correlation coefficient?</h3>

The correlation coefficient helps us to know how strong is the relation between two variables. Its value is always between +1 to -1, where, the numerical value shows how strong is the relation between them and, the '+' or '-' sign shows whether the relationship is positive or negative.

1 indicates a strong positive relationship.
-1 indicates a strong negative relationship.
A result of zero indicates no relationship at all, therefore, independent variable.

Hence, the strength of the model is a strong positive correlation.
