"The sum of the number 'n' and 31" . . . . . (n + 31)

"17 times the sum" . . . . . 17(n + 31)

The equation . . . . . 17(n + 31) = 357

Marlon and Michelle have to graph a function with the equation y=x2and are having to debate about which is the most important el

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Correct answer is the domain.

Step-by-step explanation:

A domain is the input set of a function.

A range is the output set of the function.

It is more important to know the domain of the function to be able to determine the corresponding output set so the function can be graphed. To start with the domain is very useful because every domain element has a corresponding unique output element.

Suppose you started with the range element of 9. The input set for an output of 9 is {-3,3}. This makes it hard to match up the elements. This example highlights why it is important to start with the domain rather than the range.

How many terms of the arithmetic sequence {1,22,43,64,85,…} will give a sum of 2332? Show all steps including the formulas used

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

There's a slight problem with your question, but we'll get to that...

Consecutive terms of the sequence are separated by a fixed difference of 21 (22 = 1 + 21, 43 = 22 + 21, 64 = 43 + 21, and so on), so the n-th term of the sequence, a (n), is given recursively by

• a (1) = 1

• a (n) = a (n - 1) + 21 … … … for n > 1

We can find the explicit rule for the sequence by iterative substitution:

a (2) = a (1) + 21

a (3) = a (2) + 21 = (a (1) + 21) + 21 = a (1) + 2×21

a (4) = a (3) + 21 = (a (1) + 2×21) + 21 = a (1) + 3×21

and so on, with the general pattern

a (n) = a (1) + 21 (n - 1) = 21n - 20

Now, we're told that the sum of some number N of terms in this sequence is 2332. In other words, the N-th partial sum of the sequence is

a (1) + a (2) + a (3) + … + a (N - 1) + a (N) = 2332

or more compactly,

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N a(n) = 2332$

It's important to note that N must be some positive integer.

Replace a (n) by the explicit rule:

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N (21n-20) = 2332$

Expand the sum on the left as

$\displaystyle 21 \sum_{n=1}^N n-20\sum_{n=1}^N1 = 2332$

and recall the formulas,

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n1=\underbrace{1+1+\cdots+1}_{n\text{ times}}=n$

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^nk=1+2+3+\cdots+n=\frac{n(n+1)}2$

So the sum of the first N terms of a (n) is such that

21 × N (N + 1)/2 - 20N = 2332

Solve for N :

21 (N ² + N) - 40N = 4664

21 N ² - 19 N - 4664 = 0

Now for the problem I mentioned at the start: this polynomial has no rational roots, and instead

N = (19 ± √392,137)/42 ≈ -14.45 or 15.36

so there is no positive integer N for which the first N terms of the sum add up to 2332.
