Explanation:

Note we subtract 3 off the previous term (t1) to get the next term (t2). Each new successive term is found this way

and so on. This process may take a while to reach 
There's a shortcut. The nth term of any arithmetic sequence is

We plug in
and simplify

Then we can plug in various positive whole numbers for n to find the corresponding
value. For example, plug in n = 2

which matches with the second term we found earlier. And,

---------------------
The notation
refers to the sum of the first ten terms 
We could use either the long way or the shortcut above to find all
through
. Then add those values up. Or we can take this shortcut below.

The sum of the first ten terms is -85
-----------------------
As a check for
, here are the first ten terms:
- t1 = 5
- t2 = 2
- t3 = -1
- t4 = -4
- t5 = -7
- t6 = -10
- t7 = -13
- t8 = -16
- t9 = -19
- t10 = -22
Then adding said terms gets us...
5 + 2 + (-1) + (-4) + (-7) + (-10) + (-13) + (-16) + (-19) + (-22) = -85
This confirms that
is correct.
No, a & b are not independent if they're mutually exclusive.
Mutually exclusive means the two events cannot occur simultaneously. So if "a" happens "b" cannot. In contrast, two events are independent if the occurrence of one has no effect on the occurrence of the other.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
cot(-11pi/6)=cot(-pi-5pi/6)= -cot(5pi/6)=cot(pi/6)=
≈1.73
There will be 42 in each row with 2 left over
