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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What fractional part of the brown sugar needed does she have?

The recipe says that you need 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar and she has 1 1/8, so the fraction would be

(1 1/8) / (1 1/2) = 3/4 of the total

2. What method could be used to scale down the other ingredients of the recipe in order to make it with the limited amount of brown sugar?

She has to multiply each ingridient by 3/4

3.

2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups butter

2 1/4 * 3/4 = 1 11/16 cups flour

2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 eggs

1 * 3/4 = 3/4 tsp salt

1 1/4 * 3/4 = 15/16 tsp baking soda

1 * 3/4 = 3/4 tsp vanilla

1/4 * 3/4 = 3/16 cup sugar

1 1/8 cup brown sugar

10 * 3/4 = 7 1/2 ounces choc chips

How many cookies will the scaled down recipe make?

24 * 3/4 = 18 cookies

The graph of 15x + 7y = 15 is shown on the grid. Which ordered pair is in the solution set of 15x + 7y ≥ 15?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The correct option is c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

15x+7y=15

The given inequality is

15x+7y\geq 15

A point will contained in solution set if the above inequality satisfied by that point.

Check the point (0,-3),

15(0)+7(-3)\geq 15

-21\geq 15

This statement is false, therefore option a is incorrect.

Check the point (-3,0),

15(-3)+7(0)\geq 15

-45\geq 15

This statement is false, therefore option b is incorrect.

Check the point (3,3),

15(3)+7(3)\geq 15

66\geq 15

This statement is true, therefore option c is correct.

Check the point (-3,-3),

15(-3)+7(-3)\geq 15

-66\geq 15

This statement is false, therefore option d is incorrect.
