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

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

multiplying by negative exponents can be a little tricky. So (1/4x)^-2 becomes 16/x^2 = __/x^2 so the missing number is 16

A mathematics book has 360 pages, of which 50% are on algebra, 20% on geometry and the remainder on arithmetic how many pages ar
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

30% of the pages are arithmetic, or 108 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

50% are on algebra = 180 pages

360 x .5 = 180

20% are on geometry = 72 pages

360 x .2 = 72

30% are on arithmetic = 108

180 + 72 + 108 = 360 pages

50% + 20% + 30% = 100%
