We know that a nickel equals $0.05.

We know that a dime equals $0.10.


So we will start by looking at the basic pricing of each coin, then to look into writing this problem out in an basic algebra a format. *key - anytime you are trying to find out the amount (value) that is written out in word format you always want to convert it into an equation to get your solution.*


We will use x (which is the most common) for the number of dimes that we have.


44-x (so x is the amount of dime, and 44 is the total coins that we have all together between the nickles and dimes).


0.10 (the price of a dimes)x+0.05 (the price of the nickles)*(44-x)=3.10 (the total amount of the nickels and dimes together.


Always use your rule of PEMDAS


10x+5*(44-x)=3.10

10x-5x=310-5*44

5x=90

x=18 (this is simplified)


So there are 18 dimes and then there is 26 nickels which = $1.30.


So your answer is going to be $1.30.


You can check your work by, the 18 dimes would be 44-18 which is 26 and then the value of the nickels 26*$0.05=$1.30

Not an expertise on infinite sums but the most straightforward explanation is that infinity isn't a number.

Let's see if there are anything we missed:

 ∞

 Σ  2^n=1+2+4+8+16+...

n=0

We multiply (2-1) on both sides:

       ∞

(2-1)  Σ  2^n=(2-1)1+2+4+8+16+...

      n=0

And we expand;

 ∞

 Σ  2^n=(2+4+8+16+32+...)-(1+2+4+8+16+...)

n=0

But now, imagine that the expression 1+2+4+8+16+... have the last term of 2^n, where n is infinity, then the expression of 2+4+8+16+32+... must have the last term of 2(2^n), then if we cancel out the term, we are still missing one more term to write:

 ∞

 Σ  2^n=-1+2(2^n)

n=0

If n is infinity, then 2^n must also be infinity. So technically, this goes back to infinity.

Although we set a finite term for both expressions, the further we list the terms, they will sooner or later approach infinity.

Yep, this shows how weird the infinity sign is.

Which statements are true based on the diagram? Check all that apply.
GrogVix [38]
First statement: False. Points K, M and N form a triangle.
Second statement: True. Points J, K, and Q are on the same line.
Third statement: False. KN and MQ intersect at N, not at R.
Fourth statement: False. JQ and KM intersect at K, but MQ does not pass through it.
Fifth statement: True. By definition, there is always only 1 line that can be drawn between 2 given points.

You could buy 135 MP3 songs.

($304.25 - $149 = $155.25 | $155.25 / 1.15 = 135)

Please help to find an explicit formula for calculating the sum Mn
defon

The explicit formula for calculating the sum is

S_N=\frac{n(n-1)}{2} \cdot\frac{n(n+1)}{2}

The sum of the nth term of a sequence is expressed as;

S_n=\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)

a is the first term

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms

For the sequence  0 + 1 + 2 + 3  +...

S_n=\frac{n}{2}(2(0)+(n-1)1)\\S_n= \frac{n}{2}(n-1)\\S_n= \frac{n(n-1)}{2}

Similarly for the sequence:

1 + 2+ 3 + 4+...

S_n=\frac{n}{2}(2(1)+(n-1)1)\\S_n= \frac{n}{2}(2+n-1)\\S_n= \frac{n(n+1)}{2}

Taking the product of the sum to get the explicit formula for calculating the sum

S_N=\frac{n(n-1)}{2} \cdot\frac{n(n+1)}{2}
