Calculate S58 for the arithmetic sequence {an}= {5/6n+1/3} If you could show me the steps that would be great. I keep following

the directions in the lesson and getting 8,613/6 but all I have to choose from for answers are
146/3
91/2
8671/6
9267/6

Answer is 8671/6 which is the third choice

===================================

Work Shown:

Find the first term of the sequence by plugging in n = 1

a_n = (5/6)*n + 1/3

a_1 = (5/6)*1 + 1/3    replace n with 1

a_1 = 5/6 + 1/3

a_1 = 5/6 + 2/6

a_1 = 7/6

Repeat for n = 58 to get the 58th term

a_n = (5/6)*n + 1/3

a_58 = (5/6)*58 + 1/3    replace n with 58

a_58 = (5/6)*(58/1) + 1/3

a_58 = (5*58)/(6*1) + 1/3

a_58 = 290/6 + 1/3

a_58 = 145/3 + 1/3

a_58 = 146/3

Now we can use the s_n formula below with n = 58

s_n = (n/2)*(a_1 + a_n)

s_58 = (58/2)*(a_1 + a_58)    replace n with 58

s_58 = (58/2)*(7/6 + a_58)   replace a_1 with 7/6

s_58 = (58/2)*(7/6 + 146/3)   replace a_58 with 146/3

s_58 = (58/2)*(7/6 + 292/6)

s_58 = (58/2)*(299/6)

s_58 = (58*299)/(2*6)

s_58 = 17342/12

s_58 = 8671/6

Determine whether y varies with x. If so, find the constant of variation and write the function rule.
ira [324]

Answer:  Yes, y does vary directly with x.

Constant of variation = 1/4

The function rule is  y = (1/4)x

=========================================================

Explanation:

Let's assume that y does vary directly with x.

If that's the case, then we have an equation in the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.

Solving for k gets us k = y/x

For each row, divide the y value over the x value

  • row one: k = y/x = 14/56 = 0.25
  • row two:  k = y/x = 20/80 = 0.25
  • row three: k = y/x = 22/88 = 0.25

Each row yields the value k = 0.25 and it fully confirms y does vary directly with x.

So y = kx becomes y = 0.25x as the function rule, which is equivalent to y = (1/4)x

Janine inflated a ball to a radius of 18 cm and another ball to a radius of 12 cm.
Sladkaya [172]
Volume of a ball = (4/3)πr³

When r = 18cm, V = (4/3)×3.14×18³ =24416.64 cm³
When r = 12cm, V = (4/3)×3.14×12³ =7234.56 cm³
 Difference = 24416.64 - 7234.56 = 17182.08 cm³

the volume of air in the larger ball is <span>17182.08 cm³ greater than smaller ball </span>
