Step-by-step explanation:

Word Problems are mathematical problems presented in complete languages, rather than in mathematical notations.

Example:

A certain number is divided by half, the result is added to itself to give 6, what is the number?

Solution:

- Let the number be x

- Divide x by half:

In word problem, extra caution is to be taken, as misinterpretation can be very chaotic. Dividing a number by 2, is totally different from dividing the number by half.

4 divided by 2 is 4÷2 = 2

4 divided by half is 4÷½ = 4×2/1 = 8

2 and 8 are different, reason to be cautious.

So dividing x by half, we have:

x ÷ 1/2 = x × 2/1 = 2x.

- Now, what we have is

2x + x = 6

Solving this equation, we can obtain the value of x.

2x + x = 6

3x = 6

Dividing both sides by 3

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2.

Therefore, the solution to the word problem is x = 2.

use the explicit formula an = a1 + (n - 1) * d to find the 500th term of the sequence below. 24,30,36,42,48,... A. 3018 B. 3042
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is  

24, 30, 36, 42, 48, ...

It is an AP. Here,  

First term = 24

Common difference = 30-24 = 6

The given explicit formula for nth term is

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

where, a_1 is first term, d is common difference.

Substitute a_1=24, d=6 \text{ and }n=500 in the above formula.

a_{500}=24+(500-1)(6)

a_{500}=24+(499)(6)

a_{500}=24+2994

a_{500}=3018

The 500th term of the sequence is 3018.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
