S_{30} = 1455

generate a few terms of the sequence using a_{n} = 3n + 2

a_{1} = ( 3 × 1) + 2 = 5

a_{2} = (3 × 2) + 2 = 8

a_{3} = (3 × 3 ) + 2 = 11

a_{4} = (3 × 4 ) + 2 = 14

a_{5} = ( 3 × 5 ) + 2 = 17

the terms are 5, 8, 11, 14, 17

these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence

sum to n terms is calculated using S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a + (n-1)d]

where a is the first term and d the common difference

d = 8 - 5 = 11 - 8 = 14 - 11 = 3 and a_{1} = 5

S_{30} = \frac{30}{2} [( 2 × 5) + (29 × 3) ]

= 15( 10 + 87) = 15 × 97 = 1455

Over the last three evenings, Rita received a total of 91 phone calls at the call center. The third evening, she received 2 time
tatyana61 [14]

Rita received 24 phone calls on the first evening, and 19 phone calls on the second evening and 48 phone calls on the third evening at the call center.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given details,

Rita received a total of 91 phone calls at the call center over the last three evenings.

Let us assume the number of phone calls Rita received in the first evening is X.

The second evening Rita received 5 fewer calls than the first evening

=>X-5

The third evening Rita received 2 times as any calls as the first evening

=>2X

Now as given sum of total number of calls received in the three evenings is

X + X-5 + 2X = 91

4X - 5 = 91

4X = 96

X =24.

Therefore total calls received on first evening is X = 24

On the second evening X-5 = 24-5 = 19

On the third evening 2X = 48.

I NEED HELP ASAP!!
zzz [600]

Answer:

C. {-5,-4, -3, 1, 2, 5}

Step by step explanation:

We have been given a graph and we are asked to find the domain of the relation represented in graph.

We can see that our graph is a series of unconnected points. Our function represents integer values. So we can see that our graph represents a discrete function.    

Since we know that domain of a discrete function is set of inputs values consisting of only certain values in an interval. .

The set of first value from each of the given points would made domain of our function. Upon looking at our graph we can see that domain of our function is -5,-4, -3, 1, 2 and 5.  

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
