What is the sum of the terms of the series (−1) + (−2) + (−3) + . . . + (−10)?

1 answer:

8 0

You can solve this problem by using the Gauss method. The Gauss method is a method where you can add the first and last numbers together, and then multiply by how many times that appears. Here, the sum of the first and last number is -11. In this sequence, it would appear ten times (since there are ten terms and the terms are used twice in every eleven). -11 * 5 is -55, so that means the answer to this question is -55.

<h3>1.) Dependent Variable:</h3>

A dependent variable is almost always the $(y)$ variable. This also means it depends on another variable. The way you can tell it's dependent for this problem is that the per the rule: distance = time. This means that the distance changes based on the time.
$(y)$ depends on $(x)$
