Make a conjecture about the sum of the first 15 positive even number

I conclude that the sum will be even because any even number can be represented by 2n where n is a whole number
and even numbers are 2 apart, so
the sum of the first 15 are
2n+2(n+1)+2(n+2) etc until we get to 2(n+14)
we can undistribute the 2 from all of them and get
2(n+n+1+n+2...n+14)
and we are sure that whatever is in the parenthasees is a whole number because whole+whole=whole
therefor, the sum is even

if you did want to find the sum then
an=2n
the 15th even number is 30
the first is 2
S15=15(2+30)/2=15(32)/2=15(16)=240
which is even

Which expressions are equivalent to 2^5•2^4? Check all that apply.

Maurinko [17]

Option A: $2^9$

Option E: $2^{-2}.2^{11}$

Option F: $(2.2.2.2.2)(2.2.2.2)$

Solution:

Given expression is $2^5.2^4$ .

To find which expression is equivalent to the given expression.

Option A: $2^9$

Using exponent rule: $a^b.a^c=a^{(b+c)}$

$2^5.2^4=2^{(5+4)}=2^9$

Therefore $2^9$ is equivalent to the given expression.

Option B: $2^{20}$

It is not equivalent to the given expression.

Option C: $2.2^9$

$2.2^9=2^{(1+9)}=2^{10}$

Therefore, It is not equivalent to the given expression.

Option D: $2^{10}.2^2$

$2^{10}.2^2=2^{(10+2)}=2^{12}$

Therefore, It is not equivalent to the given expression.

Option E: $2^{-2}.2^{11}$

$2^{-2}.2^{11}=2^{(2-11)}=2^9$

Therefore, It is equivalent to the given expression.

Option F: $(2.2.2.2.2)(2.2.2.2)$

$(2.2.2.2.2)(2.2.2.2)=2^5.2^4$

Therefore, It is equivalent to the given expression.

Hence option A, Option E and Option E are equivalent to the given expression.
