Given the sequence: 8, 11, 14, 17,…, determine the 84th term and the sum of the first 59 terms.

1 answer:

8 0

It can be seen that the difference or subtraction between two successive terms of the sequence is always equal to 3.

11-8 = 3.
14-11 = 3.
This means that the following term is always equal to the previous term plus three.
Knowing this you can draw a formula or "rule" for succession.
Assuming that the term 0 or X0 of the sequence is 8, then:

X (n) = 8 + 3n.
So, the term 84 is:
X (84) = 5 + 3 * (84).
X (84) = 260.
The series would be:
∑ 8 + 3x. from x=0 to x=59
The result of that sum is: 5790

Julie keeps rabbits and hamsters as pets she has four rabbits and an odd number of hamsters she has more hamsters than rabbits t

son4ous [18]

Answer:

H is greater than 4, less than 6, and is odd. H, therefore, must be 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write down what we know:

Julie keeps Rabbits ("R") and Hamsters ("H") as pets.

R=4

She has more H than R, so:

H>4

and H is odd.

The total of R and H is less than 10, so

R+H<10

we can substitute in for R:

4+H<10

and now we can solve for H:

H<10−4=6

So we know that H is greater than 4, less than 6, and is odd. H, therefore, must be 5.

An elevator is rated to safely hold ten 250 lb people. The elevator is loaded as follows: three 600 lbs cartons of books, Jim (1

iris [78.8K]

To do this, we will need to find how much the elevator can hold in all. Multiply 10 by 250 to get 2500. Since it can also hold 10% more, multiply 2500 and 0.10 to find out how much 10% is. You get 250. Add 2500 and 250 to get how much the elevator can safely hold. It would be 2750.

To find out how much more weight can be added, first find out how much weight is on the elevator collectively. (books) 600+ (Jim) 180+ (Gavin) 330 + (Deb) 250 + (Susan) 120 = 1480. Subtract this from the amount the elevator can hold, and you get how much more weight can be added. 2750-1480= 1270.

The elevator can hold 1270 more ibs.
