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.

Identify which of the following is not equivalent to 2 3/4.
mezya [45]

The figure that is not equivalent to 2¾ is 2¼ × 2½. That is option B.

<h3>Simplification of equivalent fractions</h3>

Simplification is a process that is used to make a fraction appear in its simplest forms.

The fraction given is = 2¾

The simplification of the fraction= 2^3/4 = 2

But simplification of 2¼ × 2½ is equal to;

2¼= 0.5

2½= 1

Therefore 2¾ is not equivalent to 2¼ × 2½ when simplified.

Trig. help. How does <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2sin%20%28%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20x%29cos%28%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20x%

Recall that 2sin(x) cos(x) is actually equal to sin(2x).

We can prove this by expanding sin(2x) to sin(x + x).
sin(x + x) = sin(x) cos(x) + cos(x) sin(x) = 2sinxcosx

Thus, 2sin(x/2)cos(x/2) can be rewritten in the form:
sin(2x/2), and this simplifies down to sinx.

Ms. Spencer is packing orders for her bath supply business. One customer ordered 8 bath fizzies and 4 jars of sugar scrub. Each
sergey [27]
8 bath fizzes * 5 (ounces) = 40 ounces. 4 jars of sugar scrub * 1.5 (pounds) = 6 pounds. So 6 pound and 40 ounces. (40 ounces = 2.5 pounds. So 8.5 pounds in total.) ( If you want to convert the answer to ounces, 8.5 pounds is 136 ounces.)
