Answer:

a) 1+2+3+4+...+396+397+398+399=79800

b) 1+2+3+4+...+546+547+548+549=150975

c) 2+4+6+8+...+72+74+76+78=1560

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a summation formula for the first n natural numbers:

1+2+3+...+(n-2)+(n-1)+n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}

We use the formula, we get

a) 1+2+3+4+...+396+397+398+399=\frac{399·(399+1)}{2}=\frac{399· 400}{2}=399· 200=79800

b) 1+2+3+4+...+546+547+548+549=\frac{549·(549+1)}{2}=\frac{549· 550}{2}=549· 275=150975

c)2+4+6+8+...+72+74+76+78=S / ( :2)

1+2+3+4+...+36+37+38+39=S/2

\frac{39·(39+1)}{2}=S/2

\frac{39·40}{2}=S/2

39·40=S

1560=S

Therefore, we get

2+4+6+8+...+72+74+76+78=1560

You begin with $90 in your savings account and your friend begins
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

F(f) = 15t + 35 represents the total amount of savings your friend would make in t weeks.

F(d) = 10t + 90 represents the total amount of saving you, darian, would make in t weeks.

When you graph the equations, plugging in different values for t, you can see that the graphs  intersect at (11,200). This means that at 11 weeks, both you and your friend have the same amount of money saved up, $200.  They will not have the same amount of money in 10 weeks.

so,
(-6,-2) (-7,-2)
slope: -2-(-2)/-7-(-6)
slope:0/ -1
slope: 0
which looks on the graph like this:
