Answer:
9 or 27
Step-by-step explanation:
2x8 -3 ^2 + 2
2x8 -9 + 2
16 - 9 + 2
= 9
or
2 x 8 - 3^2 + 2
2 x 8 + 9 + 2
16 + 9 + 2
= 27
Given sequence:
-2,-7,-12 ,..
Unknown;
Find the sum of the first 20 terms = ?
Solution:
The sequence is -2,-7,-12 ,..
To find he sum of n-terms of a sequence, we use the expression below;
Sₙ = 
where n is the number of terms = 20
a is the first term = -2
d is the common difference= -7 - (-)2 = -5
Now input the parameters and solve;
Sₙ = 
Sₙ = 10(-4 + -5(19)) = 10(-99) = -990
The sum of the first 20 terms of the sequence is -990
Step-by-step explanation:
garden a:
perimeter=2xlength+2xwidth = 2x(5x(2x-3))+2x(2x-3) = 20x-30 + 4x-6 = 24x-36 / 12(2x-3) feet
garden b:
perimeter= 5x+5 + 4x+2 + 8x-8 = 17x - 1 feet
Use long or synthetic division
The correct choice is B
