What is the sum of the sequence 1+3+5+7+...+99 Use Gauss's approach to find the following sum.

1 answer:

5 0

Gauss's approach is to add the same sequence in reverse order, namely

S=1+3+5+7+......+95+97+99
S=99+97+95+......+7+5+3+1
---------------------------------------
2S=(1+99)+(3+97)+(5+95)+......(95+5)+(97+3)+(99+1)=50*100=5000
=> sum = (2S)/2 = 5000/2=2500.

How to do this question??

dusya [7]

I'm going to suppose that this is asking for the volume.
The formula to find volume for a cylinder is V= pi r 2(squared) h
The radius is 10cm and the height is 14cm
Then plug the numbers in
So you should get V=3.14 x 10(squared) x 14
The once you multiply all that you should get 4396 cm(cubed)

Given the function f(x)=|x|,describe the transformation lys to f(x)=|x-2|+5

earnstyle [38]

C is the correct answer
Since it says x-2 which is a horizontal translation and everything horizontal says you say the other way around. So left to you go right 2

Hope that helps
