Answer: 39
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
P(x)=7x+5
r(x)=x-1
r(p(x))=7x+5-1=7x+4
so, r(p(5))
Looks like you just evaluated the summand for the given value of
, whereas the question is asking you to find the value of the sum for the first
terms.
Let
. Then
is the
th partial sum.
happens to be the first term in the series, which is why that box is marked correct:
But the next partial sum is not correct:
and this is not the same notion as the second term (which indeed is 0.75) in the series.
150/4 = 37.5cm. You divide by four because there are four sides on a rectangle. But 37.5 is the cm of a square. Since it says one of the sides is 15cm greater, you subtract 37.5 - 15 = 27.5cm on 2 of the width. While the other 2 lengths are greater than the width by 15 cm, so you add 15 to 37.5 which gives you 52.5cm. So the 2 width are 27.5cm and the length is 52.5cm.
