There is a difference of 8 between consecutive terms:

6 = 6

6 + 8 = 14

6 + 8 + 8 = 22

6 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 30

and so on. The n'th term of the progression is then 6 + 8(n - 1). This means the last term is 180th in the sequence, since

1438 = 6 + 8(n - 1)  ==>  1432 = 8(n - 1)  ==>  179 = n - 1  ==>  n = 180

Let S be the sum of the series,

S = 6 + 14 + 22 + 30 + ... + 1438

Reversing the series, we have

S = 1438 + 1430 + 1422 + 1414 + ... + 6

Adding together terms in the same position gives

2S = (6 + 1438) + (14 + 1430) + (22 + 1422) + ... + (1438 + 6)

2S = 1444 + 1444 + 1444 + ... + 1444

We know there are 180 terms in the progression, so there are 180 copies of 1444 on the right side,

2S = 180 * 1444  ==>  S = (180 * 1444)/ 2

and so the sum is S = 129,960.

dmitriy555 [2]
At least 14 economy and at least 5 deluxe...total of 45 seats. He makes a bigger profit from selling economy seats....so we need the most economy seats we can get.

45 seats - 5 deluxe = 40 economy

so the most profit would be 40 economy and 5 deluxe
40 economy = (40 x 30) = 1200 profit
5 deluxe = (5 x 25) = 125 profit
for a maximum profit of : $ 1325

A penny fell off the top of the building and hit the sidewalk below 3.1 seconds later how many meters did the penny fall to the
Sedbober [7]
To solve this we are going to use the free distance fallen formula: d=0.5gt^2
where
d is the distance
g is the gravity of Earth 9.8m/s^2
t is the time in seconds

We know from our problem that the penny fell off the top of the building and hit the sidewalk below 3.1 seconds later, so t=3.1. Lets replace the value in our formula:
d=0.5gt^2
d=0.5(9.8)(3.1)^2
d=47.089 meters

We can conclude that the penny fell a distance of 47.098 meters
