<h3>The sum expressed in sigma notation is:</h3>

11+17+23+29+35+41=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}5+6i

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

Given that,

11 + 17 + 23 + 29 + 35 + 41

We have to express the sum in sigma notation

Analyse the series

5 + 6(1) = 11

5 + 6(2) = 17

5 + 6(3) = 5 + 18 = 23

5 + 6(4) = 5 + 24 = 29

5 + 6(5) = 5 + 30 = 35

5 + 6(6) = 5 + 36 = 41

<em><u>Thus the series goes on like this:</u></em>

5 + 6(n) , where n = 1 to 6

<em><u>This can be expressed in sigma notation as:</u></em>

11+17+23+29+35+41=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{6}5+6n

<em><u>We can expand the sigma notation and verify the results</u></em>

\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}5+6i=(5+6(1))+(5+6(2))+(5+6(3))+(5+6(4))+(5+6(5))+(5+6(6))\\\\\\\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}5+6i=(5+6)+(5+12)+(5+18)+(5+24)+(5+30)+(5+36)\\\\\\\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}5+6i=11+17+23+29+35+41

The given sum is expressed by the notation, ∑ 11 + 6n, where the lower limit is n = 0 and the upper limit is n =5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; First, we need to determine how the numbers in the series (11 + 17 + 23 + 29 + 35 + 41) are related to one another. The initial value is 11 and for every successive number, there is a difference of 6.

First number = 11,

Second number = 11 + 6 = 11 + (6) × 1 = 17,

Third number = 11 + 6 + 6 = 11 + (6) × 2 = 23,

Fourth number = 11 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 11 + (6) × 3 = 29,

Fifth number = 11 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 11 + (6) × 4 = 35,

Sixth number = 11 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 11 + (6) × 5 = 41.

Step 2; So for the sigma notation, we insert the initial term i.e. 11 and to represent the term that is added, we put 6n.

So by substituting the values in the notation, ∑ 11 + 6n, where the lower limit is n = 0 and upper limit is n =5, we get;

n = 0,  11 + 6n = 11 + (6) × 0 = 11,

n = 1,  11 + 6n = 11 + (6) × 1 = 17,

n = 2,  11 + 6n = 11 + (6) × 2 = 23,

n = 3,  11 + 6n = 11 + (6) × 3 = 29,

n = 4,  11 + 6n = 11 + (6) × 4 = 35,

n = 5,  11 + 6n = 11 + (6) × 5 = 41.

The value of ∑ for all these values is given by 11 + 17 + 23 + 29 + 35 + 41 = 156.

Arranging the given distances from sea level on the number line, we have;

  • The error made by taking Egypt as being further from the sea level is assuming that the sea level is at the beginning (left) of the number line.

<h3>How can the number line be used to find the distance from the sea level?</h3>

The given elevation of the lowest points in the six countries are;

Country. Lowest point elevation (m)

China. →. -154

Egypt →. -133

Azerbaijan → -28

Serbia. →. 35

Israel. → -408

Laos. →. 70

Sorting the above countries from the country with the lowest point below sea level to the country with the highest point above sea level gives;

Israel → -408

China → -154

Egypt → -133

Azerbaijan → -28

Serbia. → 35

Laos. →. 70

On a number line, we have;

Israel < China < Egypt < Azerbaijan < Serbia < Laos

Relative to zero, which is the sea level, points -133 and -154 are located to the left of zero.

However, point -133 > -154, therefore, -154 < -133, the symbol < represents lesser (in this case 'lower') which indicates that China (point -154) is lower or further left from zero which is the sea level than Egypt (point -133).

The error is therefore mistaking the location of the sea level as being at the extreme left of the number line, rather than at the middle.

Simplify: StartRoot StartFraction 576 Over 64 EndFraction EndRoot The prime factorization of 576 is. The prime factorization of
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The prime factor of the 576 is 2^6 * 3^2 and the prime factor of the 64 is 2^6. And the expression \sqrt{\dfrac{576}{64}} is equal to 3.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

Simplification is to make something easier to do or understand and to make something less complicated.

Given

The expression is \sqrt{\dfrac{576}{64}}

The prime factor of the 576 will be

576 = 2^6 * 3^2

The prime factor of the 64 will be

64 = 2^6

Then the expression will be

\sqrt{\dfrac{576}{64}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2^6 * 3^2}{2^6}}\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{576}{64}} = \sqrt{3^2}\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{576}{64}} = 3

If you know the names of the remaining nine students in the spelling​ bee, what is the probability of randomly selecting an orde
rjkz [21]
The probability of getting the correct order in the spelling bee is 1 chance in 362,880.

This is a permutation problem. Our goals is to find the total number of ways that the 9 students can be ordered.

For the first spot there are 9 choices, then 8 choices, then 7 choices....

We need to evaluate:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880

Another way to write this is: 9!
