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

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

Please help me. this is hard

Since it is a square that means each side is equal.
The perimeter is 24, and since there is four sides we would divide it by four to find the length of each side.

24/4 = 6

Each side is 6.
By looking at the picture, one side of the square, is the length of the radius.

The radius of the square is 6.

The only thing left to do is to find the circumference.
The circumference formulas are:

C = \pid
C = 2\pir

We can use the first one Diameter x pi (3.14)
To find the diameter we would just multiply the radius by two.

6 x 2 = 12

Diameter = 12

So multiply it by pi

12 x 3.14 = 37.68
or D 12\pi

15. (3x + 6) - (3x - 6)
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the negative which would get your 3x + 6 -3x + 6. The 3x would cancel out and you would add 6+6 = 12
