Answer:

5778

Step-by-step explanation:

1+2+3+4+5+....+105+106+107

The sequence of numbers (1, 2, 3, … , 107) is arithmetic and when we are looking for the sum of a sequence, we call it a series. Thanks to Gauss, there is a special formula we can use to find the sum of a series:

S=n(n+1)/2=11556÷2=5778

S is the sum of the series and n is the number of terms in the series, in this case, 107

There are other ways to solve:

This is an arithmetic series, for which the formula is:

S = n[2a+(n-1)d]/2

where a is the first term, d is the difference between terms, and n is the number of terms.

For the sum of the first 107 whole numbers:

a = 1, d = 1, and n = 107

Therefore, sub into the formula:

S = 107[2(1)+(107-1)(1)]/2 =

107(2+106)/2=107*108/2=5778

so she blow out 5778 candless during her lifetime

7) A real number that is less than zero. These represent opposites.
enot [183]

Answer:

A negative number

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this is right. Negative numbers represent opposites. If positive represents a movement to the right, negative represents a movement to the left.In the context of negative numbers, a number that is greater than zero is referred to as positive. Thus every real number other than zero is either positive or negative, while zero itself is not considered to have a sign. Positive numbers are sometimes written with a plus sign in front, e.g. +3 denotes a positive three.
