The sum of the interior angles of a polygon measure 2880°. what is the name of the polygon?

The name of the polygon is an Octdecagon, or in other words, a 18-sided polygon. You find the total angles of a polygon by the formula (n - 2) * 180. What I did in this case to find the number of sides, was that I divided 2,880 by 180. My quotient was 16. Then, I added 2 in order to get 18. I did the reverse by doing (18 - 2) * 180 to check my answer, and it equaled 2,880.

erik [133]
We can consider that the runner did an acceleration of 0.8 m.s during the 10 seconds of difference.
We can deduce that the runner did an acceleration of 0.08 m.s every second during this time.

Find the nth term of the sequence 7,25,51,85,127​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Let <em>a </em>(<em>n</em>) denote the <em>n</em>-th term of the given sequence.

Check the forward differences, and denote the <em>n</em>-th difference by <em>b </em>(<em>n</em>). That is,

<em>b </em>(<em>n</em>) = <em>a </em>(<em>n</em> + 1) - <em>a </em>(<em>n</em>)

These so-called first differences are

<em>b</em> (1) = <em>a</em> (2) - <em>a</em> (1) = 25 - 7 = 18

<em>b</em> (2) = <em>a</em> (3) - <em>a</em> (2) = 51 - 25 = 26

<em>b </em>(3) = <em>a</em> (4) - <em>a</em> (3) = 85 - 51 = 34

<em>b</em> (4) = <em>a </em>(5) - <em>a</em> (4) = 127 - 85 = 42

Now consider this sequence of differences,

18, 26, 34, 42, …

and notice that the difference between consecutive terms in this sequence <em>b</em> is 8:

26 - 18 = 8

34 - 26 = 8

42 - 34 = 8

and so on. This means <em>b</em> is an arithmetic sequence, and in particular follows the rule

<em>b</em> (<em>n</em>) = 18 + 8 (<em>n</em> - 1) = 8<em>n</em> + 10

for <em>n</em> ≥ 1.

So we have

<em>a </em>(<em>n</em> + 1) - <em>a </em>(<em>n</em>) = 8<em>n</em> + 10

or, replacing <em>n</em> + 1 with <em>n</em>,

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 1) + 8 (<em>n</em> - 1) + 10

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 1) + 8<em>n</em> + 2

We can solve for <em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) by iteratively substituting:

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = [<em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 2) + 8 (<em>n</em> - 1) + 2] + 8<em>n</em> + 2

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a </em>(<em>n</em> - 2) + 8 (<em>n</em> + (<em>n</em> - 1)) + 2×2

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = [<em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 3) + 8 (<em>n</em> - 2) + 2] + 8 (<em>n</em> + (<em>n</em> - 1)) + 2×2

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (<em>n</em> - 3) + 8 (<em>n</em> + (<em>n</em> - 1) + (<em>n</em> - 2)) + 3×2

and so on. The pattern should be clear; we end up with

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (1) + 8 (<em>n</em> + (<em>n</em> - 1) + … + 3 + 2) + (<em>n</em> - 1)×2

The middle group is the sum,

\displaystyle 8\sum_{k=2}^nk=8\sum_{k=1}^nk-8=\frac{8n(n+1)}2-8=4n^2+4n-8

so that

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = <em>a</em> (1) + (4<em>n</em> ² + 4<em>n</em> - 8) + 2 (<em>n</em> - 1)

<em>a</em> (<em>n</em>) = 4<em>n</em> ² + 6<em>n</em> - 3
