Step-by-step explanation:
sum of the arithmetic sequence
a1 = 8
a2 = a1 + 8 = 8+8 = 16
...
an = 8×n
the sum of the first n elements of such a series is
n/2 × (2×a1 + (n - 1)×d]
with d being the difference between 2 consecutive elements (= the added constant).
so,
s30 = 30/2 × (2×8 + 29×8) = 15×(31×8) = 3720
Answer:
x = 3 or x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0
Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.
Split into two equations:
x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.
Add 3 to both sides:
x = 3 or x + 2 = 0
Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: x = 3 or x = -2
Answer:
£110
Step-by-step explanation:
We know how much time it takes for a boiler and a radiator, and we need to know how much it will cost for 1 boiler and 4 radiators. We have an initial cost of £30, and since hes doing a boiler - which we know takes an hour - we can already add £20 for a start of £50.
Now, there are 4 radiators, that take 45 minutes each. We need to use this equation:

We divide by 60 because there are 60 minutes in an hour, and he charges by hour. So:

Now, to find out how much to charge, we need to figure out how much to add to the £50. Since it's £20 an hour, and it takes 3 hours to do the 4 radiators, we need to multiply:

Now we add our totals for a grand total of...
