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

The cost for taking a taxi is $1.80 plus $0.10 per eighth of a mile. What is the cost of a ride that is 4.5 miles long?

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$1.80 + (8x$0.10)*4.5 = $5.40

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.80 base cost

$0.10 for an 8th of a mile, thus multiply by 8 = $0.80 per mile

So, $1.80 + (4.5 * $0.8) = $5.40

Mandy used the input and output in this table to write ratios. She concluded that because that they are not all equivalent, this

wolverine [178]

The problem is stating that Mandy found the ratio between input and output of many points on the graph, which are displayed by the fractions. Mandy's conclusion was that they were not equivalent, meaning they were different and that is why the function is not proportional. Mandy's conclusion is wrong, the relation is proportional. If we take all the functions we have:

$\frac{5}{1}=\frac{10}{2}=\frac{25}{5}=\frac{50}{10}$

Where the input is the denominator and the output is the numerator we will have a ratio of "5". Mandy's mistake was to invert the last fraction, she inserted the output in the denominator, this is why she said the were different.
