<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.

A sweet factory produces 5 different chocolate bars. the different flavors are always produced in the same proportions, for ever
IRISSAK [1]

a. There are 933 chocolate bars

b. There are 1200 chocolate bars

c. There are 1580 chocolate bars

<h3>How to calculate the number of chocolate bars</h3>

Since there are 5 different flavors,

let

  • x = orange flavored bars,
  • y = coconut flavored bars,
  • z = coffee flavored bars,
  • a = strawberry flavored bars and
  • b = honeycomb flavored bars and
  • X = total number of bars

Since the different flavors are always produced in the same proportions, for every 4 coconut flavored bars 5 honeycomb 6 orange 1 coffee and 4 strawberry

So, the ratio of their proportions are x:y:z:a:b = 6:4:2:1:5

So, the total ratio is T = 6 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 5 = 20

<h3>a. What is the total number of chocolate bars if there are 280 orange flavored bars?</h3>

Since we have 6 orange flavored bars, the ratio of orange flavored bars to total is 6/20

So, the amount of orange flavored bars is x = 6/20 × X

Making X subject of the formula, we have

X = 20x/6

So, if there are 280 orange bars, there will be

X = 20x/6

X = 20 × 280/6

X = 5600/6

X = 933.33

X ≅ 933 chocolate bars

So, there are 933 chocolate bars

<h3>b. What is the total number of chocolate bars if there are 960 coconut flavored bars?</h3>

Since we have 4 coconut flavored bars, the ratio of coconut flavored bars to total is 4/20

So, the amount of coconut flavored bars is y = 4/20 × X

Making X subject of the formula, we have

X = 20y/4

So, if there are 960 coconut flavored bars, there will be

X = 20y/6

X = 20 × 960/4

X = 5 × 240

X = 1200 chocolate bars

So, there are 1200 chocolate bars

<h3>c. What is the total number of chocolate bars if there are 79 coffee flavored bars?</h3>

Since we have 1 coffee flavored bars, the ratio of coffee flavored bars to total is 1/20

So, the amount of coconut flavored bars is z = 1/20 × X

Making X subject of the formula, we have

X = 20z

So, if there are 79 coffee flavored bars, there will be

X = 20z

X = 20 × 79

X = 1580 chocolate bars

So, there are 1580 chocolate bars
