Help finding the sum

Mathematics

It is asking you to find the sum of k^2 - 1 from k=1 to k=4. Since that is only 4 numbers, calculating the sum by hand wouldn’t be that bad.

(1^2 - 1) + (2^2 - 1) + (3^2 - 1) + (4^2 - 1) = 26

The easier way to find the sum is to use a few simple formulas.

When we have a term that is just a constant c, the formula is c*n.

When we have a variable k, the formula is k*n*(n+1)/2.

When we have a squared variable, the formula is k*n*(n+1)*(2n+1)/6.

In this case, we have a squared variable k^2 and a constant of -1.

So plug in n=4 to the formulas:

4*5*9/6 - 1*4 = 26

The answer is 26

Simplify the expression 4(6x)
xxMikexx [17]
All you have to do is multiply 4 × 6 to get your answer. So, 4 × 6 = 24, and considering we can't leave the variable out, we have to put it with our answer. Our answer is then 24x. Hint: Parentheses mean multiplication.

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(3, 8) , B(11, 8) , and C(9, 12) . Triangle FGH has vertices at F(1, 3) , G(9, 3) , and H(7, 7) .

Hmm, (x,y)
x is horizontal or left right
y is vertical or up down


so

we see that A to F is move left 2 and down 5
B to G is left 2 and down 5
C to H is left 2 and down 5


so translatete ABC left 2 and down 5 and
translate FGH right 2 and up 5

not 1st option
2nd works
3rd works
4th is false


2nd and 3rd
