Let S be the sum,
S = 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2 (n - 2) + 2 (n - 1) + 2n
Reverse the order of terms:
S = 2n + 2 (n - 1) + 2 (n - 2) + ... + 6 + 4 + 2
Add up terms in the same positions, so that twice the sum is
2S = (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + ... + (2n + 2)
or
2S = n (2n + 2)
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for S :
S = n (n + 1)
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
(2, 0) to (8, 0) is a 4/1 scale factor because 8/2 = 4
The answer is four because there's one line that is placed on the origin which makes it no solution because there's not supposed to be a line on the origin and number 1 is a solution because there are neither lines plotted on the origin and has parallel lines
Since you have to distribute both numbers, you'll end up with x^2-3x+4x-12 then simplify and it is x^2+x-12
