How do you add all even numbers that are less than 123?

Answer:

61(61+1)=3782

The formula for the sum of the first n positive evens is:

n(n+1). Your question is equivalent to what is the sum of the first 61 even positive integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

122 is the highest even less than 123.

If we solve 2n=122 we can find what number term 122 is in the sequence of positive even numbers.

2n=122

Divide both sides by 2:

n=61

So 122 is the 61st positive even integer. This means we are adding 61 positive even integers.

2(1)+2(2)+2(3)+2(4)+2(5)+2(6)+..........+2(61)

Factor out out 2:

2(1+2+3+4+5+6+...+61)

We could write in summation notation if you prefer:

2\sum_{k=1}^{61}k

There is a formula for computing the following:

\sum_{k=1}^{n}k=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}

So we have the following:

2\frac{61(61+1)}{2}

61(61+1)

61(62)

3782

So if you wanted to know the sum of the first n even numbers it is:

n(n+1).

Examples:

The sum of the first 4 positive even numbers:

2+4+6+8=20

Now let's put our formula to the test:

4(4+1)

4(5)

20

The sum of the first 10 positive even numbers:

2+4+6+8+10+12+14+16+18+20=110

Now let's put out formula to the test again:

10(10+1)

10(11)

110

So as you can see the formula works.

Let me know if you want me to actually prove with mathematical induction.

harina [27]

Answer:

The answer is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF is 2z because it is the biggest number that can be factored out of both numbers. Also, since the 8z has no exponent, the GCF of 2z doesn't need one either.

Steps for solving 3x + 18 = 54 are shown.
Lostsunrise [7]

C

By subtracting 18 to both sides you are separating the 3x because you are not ready to isolate the variable (x) in step 1

If a data value in a normal distribution has a negative z-score, which of the following must be true?
mel-nik [20]
Correct Answer:
The data value must be less than the mean.

The formula for the z value is:

z-value = (Data value - Mean) / Standard Deviation

The z-value will be negative when the Numerator of the above expression will be negative. The numerator will be negative only when the Data Value is less than the mean value. For example, for a data value of 5 and mean value 8, the numerator will be -3, and when it will be divided by standard deviation, the resulting z value will be negative.

So, Third option is the correct answer.

Find all polar coordinates of point p where p = (6, -pi/5)
Lelu [443]
Given a point in coordinates form (r,\theta), one can compute the cartesian form like this:
(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta )
We have:
r=6,\theta=-\dfrac{\pi}{5}
We get the cartesian form then:
\left(6\cos-\dfrac{\pi}{5},6\sin-\dfrac{\pi}{5}\right)
