If the series is made up of numbers in an arithmetic progression, you have

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{18}a_n=\sum_{n=1}^{18}(a_1+(n-1)d)=18a_1+153d=4185

where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference between terms.

Since the last term in the series is a_{18}=275, you have

a_{18}=a_1+(18-1)d\implies a_1+17d=275

Solve the system

\begin{cases}18a_1+153d=4185\\a_1+17d=275\end{cases}

and you'll find that the first term is a_1=190 (with d=5).

The length of a rectangular computer chip is 22 x 10 cm and the width is 7 x 104 cm. Explain how to
mash [69]

Answer:

area = 160160 inches²

area = 1.6016 × 10⁵ inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangular computer chip is 22 × 10 cm and the width is 7 × 104 cm .  

The area of the rectangular computer chip is the product of the length and the width.

area = length × width

area = (22 × 10) × (7 × 104)  

area = 220 × 728

area = 160160  inches²

In scientific notation

area = 1.6016 × 10⁵ inches²

160160 is written as 1.6016 × 10⁵ because 1.60160 × 100000 = 1.6016 × 10⁵
