We call:

as the set of <span>the first 51 consecutive odd positive integers, so:
</span>

Where:





<span>and so on.
In mathematics, a sequence of numbers, such that the difference between two consecutive terms is constant, is called Arithmetic Progression, so:
3-1 = 2
5-3 = 2
7-5 = 2
9-7 = 2 and so on.
Then, the common difference is 2, thus:
</span>

<span>
Then:
</span>

<span>
So, we need to find the sum of the members of the finite series, which is called arithmetic series:
There is a formula for arithmetic series, namely:
</span>

<span>
Therefore, we need to find:
</span>
Given that

, then:

Thus:

Lastly:
Lets look at the hours they are open from. 9 am - 4:30 pm which is 7 and a half hours a day. Now we multiply 7 1/2 by the number of days they are open, which will be 7 1/2 * 255 = 1,912.5. This means that the library is open 1,912 1/2 hours a year.
I hope I've helped! :)
The first number that you see between Michael and John is 40
Answer:
a).1
b).1
c).111
Step-by-step explanation:
a) anything to the zero power is 1
b) any number divided by itself is one
c) 100+10+1=111
Remark
The formula for this series is
t_n = n^2 - 1
Explanation
If the series ends at 288, then the highest value n can have is 17
So you would write t_n = n^2 - 1 {n| 1 ≤ n ≤17}
If you said this to someone, you would say "t_n = n squared minus 1 where n is such that 1 is greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to 17"
Example
What is the 4th term in this series?
t_4 = 4^2 - 1
t_4 = 16 - 1
t_4 = 15
