The sum of any arithmetic sequence is the average of the first and last terms times the number of terms.

Any term in an arithmetic sequence is:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), where a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number

So the first term is a, and the last term is a+d(n-1) so the sum can be expressed as:

s(n)(a+a+d(n-1))(n/2)

s(n)=(2a+dn-d)(n/2)

s(n)=(2an+dn^2-dn)/2

However we need to know how many terms are in the sequence.

a(n)=a+d(n-1), and we know a=3 and d=2 and a(n)=21 so

21=3+2(n-1)

18=2(n-1)

9=n-1

10=n so there are 10 terms in the sequence.

s(n)=(2an+dn^2-dn)/2, becomes, a=3, d=2, n=10

s(10)=(2*3*10+2*10^2-2*10)/2

s(10)=(60+200-20)/2

s(10)=240/2

s(10)=120

What is 23.826 correct to two decimal places
inessss [21]

Answer:

23.83

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number next to it is above 5 then you round it up.

So the 2 becomes a 3 because the 6 to the right of it is above 5.

Hope this helps

Some friends of yours collected books for a book drive. They collected 64 Fiction, and 48 Non-Fiction books. They asked you to m
Cloud [144]

As all of the bundles have the same content inside, so assuming that there is x number of Fiction books and y number of Non-fiction books in each bundle.

Let n be the total number of bundles that my team can send.

There are 64 Fiction books, so

nx=64 ...(i)

Or x=64/n ...(ii)

also, there are 48 Non-Fiction books, so

ny=48 ...(iii)

Or y=48/n ...(iv)

Observing that the numbers x, y, and n are counting numbers and from equations (i) and (iii), n is the common factor of 64 and 48.

The possible common factors of 64 and 48 are,

n=1,2,4,8, and 16.

So, my team can send 1,2,3,4,8 or 16 bundles of books.

Now, from equations (ii) and (iv),

For n=1:

x=64/1=64

y=48/1=48

So, for 1 bundle the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 64 and 48 respectively.

For n=2:

x=64/2=32

y=48/2=48

So, for 2 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 32 and 24 respectively.

For n=4:

x=64/4=16

y=48/4=12

So, for 4 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 16 and 12 respectively.

For n=8:

x=64/8=8

y=48/8=6

So, for 8 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 8 and 6 respectively.

For n=16:

x=64/16=4

y=48/16=3

So, for 16 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 4 and 3 respectively.
