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

Answer:

Second option

Third option

Fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following quadratic function

f(x) =(x-1)(x+7)

Use the distributive property to multiply the expression

f(x) =x^2+7x-x-7

f(x) =x^2+6x-7

For a function of the form f (x) = ax ^ 2 + bx + c the x coordinate of the vertex is:

x =-\frac{b}{2a}

Then in this case the coordinate of the vertex is:

x =-\frac{6}{2(1)}

x =-3

To obtain the y coordinate of the vertex we evaluate the function at x = -3

f(-3) =(-3)^2+6(-3)-7

f(-3) =9-18-7

f(-3) =-16

Then the vertex is:  (-3, -16)

We can see in the graph that the zeros of the function are x=1 and x=-7

Then the function is decreasing from -∞ to -3 and then it is increasing from -3 to ∞

The function is positive for x and x> 1

The correct answers are:

Second option

Third option

Fourth option

Both the numerator and the denominator can be easily divided by 9. so you get:
2/10
as you can tell it can still be simplified. both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2. so your final answer is
