Answer:

-2+1+6+13+22+...=\sum(n^2+2n-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Series in Summation Notation</u>

We must try to find a general formula for each term and then use summation to generalize the sum of all the terms for any value of n, the term number.

The series is

-2+1+6+13+22+...

The difference between consecutive terms will be computed:

a_2-a_1=1-(-2)=3

a_3-a_2=6-1=5

a_4-a_3=13-6=7

We can see that

a_{n+1}-a_n=2n+1

Applying summation on both sides:

\sum [a_{n+1}-a_n]=\sum (2n+1)=\sum 2n+\sum 1

Knowing that

\displaystyle \sum n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}

\sum [a_{n+1}-a_n]=n(n+1)+n=n^2+2n

Similarly, the sum of the left side is found to be

\sum [a_{n+1}-a_n]=a_{n+1}-a_1

Replacing into the above equation, we find

a_{n+1}-a_1=n^2+2n

Solving

a_{n+1}=n^2+2n+a_1=n^2+2n-2

Having the general term, the series is expressed as

-2+1+6+13+22+...=\sum(n^2+2n-2)

For n=0 to infinity

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 4.

Let's find the slope between your two points.

(1,−2); (3,6)

(x1,y1) = (1,−2)

(x2,y2) = (3,6)

Use the slope formula:

m = y2−y1 / x2−x1

= 6− −2 / 3−1

= 8 / 2

= 4

Answer:

m = 4

The millers are going to put a pool in their backyard this summer. The pool will have a depth of 5 feet, and the dimensions show
erica [24]

Answer:

D : 510 units

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE:

Something to consider when solving problems like this is to break the large shape down into smaller, more managable shapes. So for this problem, you can break down this irregular shape into two rectangles. This will make solving problems similar to this easier in the future :)

WORK:

I broke down this shape into two rectangles with the following dimensions:

- 12 meters by 5 meters

- 3 meters by 14 meters

You also know that the depth has to be 5 feet (the problem itself did not account for differences in feet and meters, as when I converted the 5 feet to meters and solved that way, none of the answers were correct)

Using this information, you can now solve for the volume of each of the rectangles

12*5*5 = 300 units

3*14*5 = 210 units

Then, you simply add the two volumes together to find the total volume needed to fill the pool which equals

510 units
