4.110 is the greater number
That is an arithmetic sequence of the form:
a(n)=2n-1
Now the sum of an arithmetic sequence is just the average of the first and last terms times the number of terms...
We know the first term is 1, let's find the last term...
a(1000)=2(1000)-1=1999
So the sum of that sequence is:
1000(1999+1)/2
1,000,000
K= 8. If you look at the pattern each x value is multiplied by 8 to give you the y value. You could also solve it by:
40=k5
40/5=k
8=k
you could do this with any of the x or y values and still end up with 8.
The equation of this parabola will have the form f(x) = a(x+5)(x-4), which works out to f(x) = a(x^2 + x - 20). Since the parabola passes thru (3,40),
40 = a(3^2 + 3 - 20), or 40 = a(-8), so a = -5.
Thus, the equation of this parabola is y = -5(x^2 + x - 20).
Answer: A
You’re basically adding m - 2 nine times
So it’s 9m - 18
Or 9m - 9(2)
