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

PLEASE HELP<br><br> x = ___ units
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

x = <u>16</u> units

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ABC is a 45-45-90 triangle, and ∆BCD is a 30-60-90 triangle.

If side opposite of 90° [∆] = x, side opposite of 45° [∆] = x / √2 = x √ 2 / 2.

Given side AC is opposite of 90° [∆ABC] = 32 √ 2, side opposite of 45° [∆ABC] = 32 √ 2 / √ 2 = 32 which is AB or BC.

Since side BC is part of BCD.

Side opposite of 90° [∆BCD] = BC = 32.

Since x is opposite of 30° [∆BCD].

x = Side opposite of 90° [∆BCD] / 2 = 32 / 2 = 16.

Which Data set has the smallest IQR ?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

<h2 /><h2>The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between the upper (Q3) and lower (Q1) quartiles, and describes the middle 50% of values when ordered from lowest to highest. The IQR is often seen as a better measure of spread than the range as it is not affected by outliers. Interquartile Range. 25% of values.</h2>
