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

nexus9112 [7]
G/f(x) = x^2 - 6 / 3x + 1
3x + 1 = x^2 - 6
x^2 - 3x - 6 - 1 = 0
x^2 - 3x - 7 = 0
x = 4.54 , x = - 1.54

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

-0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

f^-1(1024)=(2*1024-2/5)^-1= 0.000488

f(0.000488)=2*0.000488-2/5= -0.399
