Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A quick review on PEMDAS, the order of how to solve an equation:
P - parentheses. When parentheses are being used, you have to do everything inside them before doing everything outside of them.
E - exponents. We'll skip these, since there aren't any exponents we need to worry about in this equation.
M/D - multiplication/division. I include these both together because they can be done at the same time.
A/S = addition/subtraction. Can also be done at the same time.
Some other things to note:
You add all the things with an x attached to it, and you add all the things without an x attached to it, and these never cross.
When you bring something from one side of an equal sign to another, you make it negative.
Let's solve for x using what we've learned:
Answer:
3, 5, 7, 9, 11, .........
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
= n(n + 2) , then
S₁ = 1(1 + 2) = 1(3) = 3 ⇒ a₁ = 3
S₂ = 2(2 + 2) = 2(4) = 8
S₃ = 3(3 + 2) = 3(5) = 15
Thus
a₂ = S₂ - S₁ = 8 - 3 = 5
a₃ = S₃ - S₂ = 15 - 8 = 7
The first 3 terms are 3, 5, 7
This is an AP with common difference d = 2, then
a₄ = a₃ + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
a₅ = a₄ + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11
and so on
