Answer:

a) The error is that, the initial value is n=1 NOT n=3

b) The sum is a_n=a_{n+1}+5=192

c)The explicit formula is  a_n=5n+3

The recursive formula is a_n=a_{n+1}+5,

Step-by-step explanation:

The given arithmetic series is  8 + 13 + ... + 43.

The first term is a_1=8, the  common difference is d=13-8=5

The nth term is given by:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

We substitute the values to get:

a_n=8+5(n-1)\\a_n=8+5n-5\\\\a_n=3+5n

To find how many terms are in the sequence we solve the equation:

3+5n=43\\\implies 5n=43-3\\5n=40\\n=8

The summation notation is  \sum_{n=1}^8(3+5n)

The error the student made is in the initial value.

It should be n=1 NOT n=3

b) The sum of the arithmetic series is calculated using:

S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a+l)

We substitute o get:

S_8=\frac{8}{2}(5+43)

S_8=4(48)

S_8=192

c) The explicit formula we already calculated in a), which is a_n=3+5n

The recursive formula is given as:

a_n=a_{n+1}+d

We substitute d=5 to get:

a_n=a_{n+1}+5

Answer:

The average rate of change from 3 to 6 storms = 0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of Storms = N

And Predicted Gas Price = P

it is required to find the average rate of change from 3 to 6 storms.

At N = 3 ⇒ P = $2.44

At N = 6 ⇒ P = $2.56

So, the average rate of change = \frac{2.56-2.44}{6-3}=\frac{0.12}{3}=0.04

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with sides 2/3x+10 and 1/3x+5
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The perimeter of the rectangle  is 2x+ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of the rectangle are 2/3x+10 and 1/3x+5

Now, Perimeter of the Rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

Here, sum of the sides = (\frac{2}{3}x + 10 )  + (\frac{1}{3}x + 5 )  = (\frac{2}{3}x +\frac{1}{3}x  )  + ( 10+ 5 )

adding like terms with like terms, we get

(\frac{2x + x}{3})  + 15 = \frac{3x}{3}  + 15

Hence, Sum = (x + 15)

Now,  2(Length + Breadth)  = 2(x+15) = 2x + 30

hence, the perimeter of the rectangle  = 2x+ 30
