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

I am Lyosha [343]

It is given that there are 41 males and 48 females in the small school.

So, the number of ways a male student can be chosen from 41 males is $^{41}C_1$

Likewise, the number of ways a female student can be chosen from 48 females is $^{48}C_1$ .

Thus, the total number of ways in which 2-person combinations are possible to represent the student body at the PTSAC meetings will be given by:

$^{41}C_1\times ^{48}C_1=1968$

Which equation is true?

ch4aika [34]

Answer : $9x^2 - 25 = (3x - 5)(3x + 5)$

(1) $9x^2 - 25 = (3x - 5)(3x - 5)$

Use FOIL method to mulitply (3x – 5)(3x – 5)

$(3x - 5)(3x - 5) = 9x^2 - 30x + 25$

(2) $9x^2 - 25 = (3x - 5)(3x + 5)$

Use FOIL method to mulitply (3x - 5)(3x + 5)

$(3x - 5)(3x - 5) = 9x^2 - 15x + 15x - 25 = 9x^2 - 25$

(3) $9x^2 - 25 = -(3x + 5)(3x + 5)$

Use FOIL method to mulitply -(3x + 5)(3x + 5)

$-(3x + 5)(3x + 5) = -(9x^2 + 30x + 25) = -9x^2 -30x -25$

(4) $9x^2 - 25 = -(3x + 5)(3x - 5)$

Use FOIL method to mulitply -(3x + 5)(3x - 5)

$-(3x + 5)(3x - 5) = -(9x^2 - 25) = -9x^2 + 25$

So equation 2 is true
