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

PLEASE HELP IM STUCK. <br><br> List the factors of the third term: 6n^3-n^2+5n/8-11
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The factors for 5 are going to be 1 and 5 or their negative counterparts, since no other whole number within the range of 5 can be multiplied to get 5.

Make sense?

N a basketball game, Archie made 3/5 of his shots. Which numbered choice has a value that is the same as the ratio Archie made i
Mamont248 [21]

Basically you want to find an equivalent fraction for 3/5 in the answer choices.

12/20 equals 3/5 because 3/5 x 4/4 (or 1) = 12/20

answer: 4
