Since there is a common difference of one, this is an arithmetic sequence of the form a(n)=a+d(n-1) which in this case is:

a(n)=15+1(n-1)

All arithmetic sequences have a sum which is equal to the average of the first and last terms time the number of terms, mathematically:

s(n)=(2an+dn^2-dn)/2  (that is just the result of ((a+a+d(n-1))(n/2)) )

Since a=15 and d=1 this becomes:

s(n)=(30n+n^2-n)/2

s(n)=(n^2+29n)/2 so

s(10)=(100+290)/2

s(10)=195 logs

There are 195 logs in total.

If the top row has 15 logs, and each row below it has one more log than the one above it, then 15 • 10 (since there are 10 rows in total) plus 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 ( minus the top layer, starting from the 2nd layer down, deducting 1 each time since every time the number gets add to it, a row's requirement that each row below it has one more log gets satisfied.)
(15 • 10) + (9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1) = 150 + 45 = 195.

Marcus should have substituted -10for b, not 10
Marcus should have subtracted 4(1)(25) in the square root
This equation, when solved correctly, only has one real number solution

Kenny had 5/7 more trading cards than lee. After Kenny collected 50% more trading cards, he had 220 more trading cards than lee.
svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the number of cards Kenny has

Let Y is the number of cards Lee has

1. Kenny had 5/7 more trading cards than lee, it means

X = Y + 5/7X (1)

2. After Kenny collected 50% more trading cards, he had 220 more trading cards than lee, it means:

X + 50%X = Y +  220 (2)

So, we solve the 2 equations to find out X and Y

\left \{ {{X=Y + 5/7X} \atop {1.5X=Y +220}} \right.

<=> X = \frac{3080}{17} and Y = \frac{880}{17}

<=> X ≈181 and Y ≈ 52

The graph below shows the line of best fit for data collected on the number of cell phones and cell phone cases sold at a local
Dovator [93]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is given by y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

and

slope (m) is given by:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Where (x_1,y_1) are the first set of point in the line and (x_2,y_2) is the second set of point

<em>Let's take 2 points arbitrarily. (0,0) & (25,20)</em>

<em />

<em>Let's plug it and find the equation:</em>

<em>m=\frac{20-0}{25-0}=0.8</em>

<em>Now</em>

<em>y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-0=0.8(x-0)\\y=0.8x</em>

<em />

<em>C is the correct answer.</em>
