If

is odd, then

while if

is even, then the sum would be

The latter case is easier to solve:

which means

.
In the odd case, instead of considering the above equation we can consider the partial sums. If

is odd, then the sum of the even integers between 1 and

would be

Now consider the partial sum up to the second-to-last term,

Subtracting this from the previous partial sum, we have

We're given that the sums must add to

, which means


But taking the differences now yields

and there is only one

for which

; namely,

. However, the sum of the even integers between 1 and 5 is

, whereas

. So there are no solutions to this over the odd integers.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a sample, m = 12 g
Heat absobed by the sample, Q = 96 J
It was heated from 20°C to 40°C.
We need to find the specific heat of a material. The heat absorbed by a sample is given by :

So, the specific heat of the material is
.
27, 36, 45...all have factors of 9 and r greater then 20
B because you already know number of cookies eaten, you dont know if the total was 12 cookies because you dont know how many days so, if you dont know how many days then y would be the number of days... Good Luck
