2. Determine the sum of the first 400 ODD numbers.​

Odd numbers take the form 2n-1, where n\ge1 is an integer. When n=400, the last odd number would be 799. So we're adding

S=1+3+5+\cdots+795+797+799

By reversing the order of terms, we have

S=799+797+795+\cdots+5+3+1

and we can pair up terms in both sums at the same position to write

2S=(1+799)+(3+797)+(5+795)+\cdots(795+5)+(797+3)+(799+1)

so that we are basically adding 400 copies of 800, and from there we can find the value of the sum right away:

2S=400\cdot800\implies S=160,000

###

We could also make use of the formulas,

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n1=n

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni=\dfrac{n(n+1)}2

We have

S=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{400}(2i-1)=2\sum_{i=1}^{400}i-\sum_{i=1}^{400}1=400(400+1)-400=400^2=160,000

Answer:

4\sqrt[3]{7x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Look for the same stuff under the radical symbol. Here, that "stuff" is "7x". Only one answer choice has 7x under the radical.

_____

Here, there are no cubic factors under the radical that can be factored out—either in the problem expression or in the answer choices. If there were cubic factors, you'd want to remove them before making the comparison.

For example, ∛(56x) would be a like radical to ∛(7x) because a cubic factor of 2^3 = 8 can be removed to make it be 2∛(7x).

Solve the equation. 5/6x - 4 = -2
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{5}{6} x - 4 = - 2 ( add 4 to both sides )

\frac{5}{6} x = 2 ( multiply both sides by 6 to clear the fraction )

5x = 12 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = \frac{12}{5} = 2 \frac{2}{5} → A

Need help please!! 15 points
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The average of -2.5, 5.2, 1.7, and -0.8 is <u>0.9</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

You are taking the mean of all the values

So you would add -2.5, 5.2, 1.7, and -0.8 all together

This gives you 3.6

Then you would divide by the number of numbers per se,

Which would give you the answer: 0.9
