What is the sum of the finite arithmetic series?

Mathematics
1 answer:
mariarad [96]3 years ago
4 0

The underlying arithmetic progression is

-15, 0, 15, 30, ...

starting with a_1=-15 and with a common difference of d=15 between terms. Recursively, this sequence is given by

\begin{cases}a_1=-15\\a_n=a_{n-1}+15&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}

So we have

a_2=a_1+15

a_3=a_2+15=a_1+15\cdot2

a_4=a_3+15=a_1+15\cdot3

and so on, so that the explicit rule for the sequence is

a_n=a_1+15(n-1)=15n-30

for n\ge1.

The series consists of 15 terms, since

195=15n-30\implies15n=225\implies n=15

So we have

-15+0+15+\cdots+195=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{15}(15n-30)=15\cdot\frac{15\cdot16}2-30\cdot15=1350

and the answer would be B.

98x24(100-2)x24 using the distributive property
boyakko [2]

Answer:

98 x 24 = 2352

2352 x 2400 = 5,644,800

2352 x (-48) = - 112,896

5,644,800 - 112,896 = 5,531,904

5,531,904 x 24 = 132,765,696

All the cubes below have a different image on each side.
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

  • <u>Figure G</u>

Explanation:

The figure labeled A cannot be because the cross and the line are not oriented in  the same relative position as in X.

The figure labeled B cannot be because the line and the the image with the three lines are not oriented in the same relative position as in X.

You cannot tell about the figures labeled C because you do not see the images of the cross and the line.

The figure labeled E cannot be because the image with the three lines is not oriented in the same relative positiion with respect to the other two as in X.

You cannot tell about the figure labeled F because the image of the cross and with the three lines are not shown.

The figure labeled G is correct: you can just rotate the cube labeled X 90 degrees counterclockwise about a vertical axis that passes through the center of the cube and get the cube labeled G.
