a_1=1,\ a_2=2.5,\ a_3=4,\ a_4=5.5,\ ...\\\\a_2-a_1=2.5-1=1.5\\a_3-a_2=4-2.5=1.5\\a_4-a_3=5.5-4=1.5\\a_{n+1}-a_n=1.5=constans\\\\\text{It's an arithmetic sequence with}\\a_1=1,\ \boxed{d=1.5}\\\\a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\to a_n=1+(n-1)(1.5)=1+1.5n-1.5\\\\a_n=1.5n-0.5\\\\a_5=1.5(5)-0.5=7.5-0.5=7\\\boxed{a_5=7}\\\\\text{The formula of a Sum of the First n Terms of an Arithmetric Sequence:}\\\\S_n=\dfrac{2a_1+(n-1)d}{2}\cdot n\\\\\text{We have:}\\a_1=1,\ d=1.5,\ n=100\\\\\text{Substitute}

-54+23

<u>23-54=-31</u>

78--4

<u>78+4=82</u>

For which values of x is the function
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

x = - 5, x = - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = \frac{x+4}{(x+5)(x+11)}

The denominator cannot be zero as this would make y undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be, that is

(x + 5)(x + 11) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x + 11 = 0 ⇒ x = - 11

Thus

x = - 11 and x = - 5 are excluded values.
