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

. The sum of -8 and a number is at least 9 what is the equation look like​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

-8 + x ≥ 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at your sentence:

The <u>sum of -8 and a number</u> is <u>at least 9 </u>what is the equation look like​

Sum is the result of adding

At least 9 means that the number is 9 or greater.

So what you have here is an inequality expression:

Sum of -8 and a number

-8 + x

x here is the "number" since we do not know the value we will use "x" to represent that number.

At least 9

At least means that it is equal or greater, so we use this expression ≥

and so we use put that all together

-8 + x ≥ 9
