Answer:

(a) 498501

(b) 251001

Step-by-step explanation:

According Gauss's approach, the sum of a series is

sum=\frac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}         .... (1)

where, n is number of terms.

(a)

The given series is

1+2+3+4+...+998

here,

a_1=1

a_n=998

n=998

Substitute a_1=1, a_n=998 and n=998 in equation (1).

sum=\frac{998(1+998)}{2}

sum=499(999)

sum=498501

Therefore the sum of series is 498501.

(b)

The given series is

1+3+5+7+...+ 1001

The given series is the sum of dd natural numbers.

In 1001 natural numbers 500 are even numbers and 501 are odd number because alternative numbers are even.

a_1=1

a_n=1001

n=501

Substitute a_1=1, a_n=1001 and n=501 in equation (1).

sum=\frac{501(1+1001)}{2}

sum=\frac{501(1002)}{2}

sum=501(501)

sum=251001

Therefore the sum of series is 251001.

If rain is falling at 0.5 inches per hour and 1.5 inches have already accumulated, how many hours must have passed if there are
zavuch27 [327]

Given :

Rain is falling at 0.5 inches per hour and 1.5 inches have already accumulated.

To Find :

How many hours must have passed if there are 5 inches of rain .

Solution :

Let , after x hours rain accumulated is 5 inches .

We know , general equation of line :

y = mx +c

Here , m = 0.5 and c = 1 .

So , equation of rain accumulated is :

y=0.5x+1

Now , putting value of x = 5 hours .

We get :

y=0.5\times 5+1\\\\y=2.5+1=3.5\ inches

Hence , this is the required solution .
