Answer:
first we find the common difference.....do this by subtracting the first term from the second term. (9 - 3 = 6)...so basically, ur adding 6 to every number to find the next number.
we will be using 2 formulas....first, we need to find the 34th term (because we need this term for the sum formula)
an = a1 + (n-1) * d
n = the term we want to find = 34
a1 = first term = 3
d = common difference = 6
now we sub
a34 = 3 + (34-1) * 6
a34 = 3 + (33 * 6)
a34 = 3 + 198
a34 = 201
now we use the sum formula
Sn = (n (a1 + an)) / 2
S34 = (34(3 + 201))/2
s34 = (34(204)) / 2
s34 = 6936/2
s34 = 3468 <=== the sum of the first 34 terms:

Answer:
-13a^2 + 170ab - 13b^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 36(a+b)^2 - 49(a-b)^2
This is the difference of 2 squares: a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b).
36(a+b)^2 - 49(a-b)^2
= (6(a + b) + 7(a - b))( 6(a + b) - 7(a - b))
= (6a + 7a + 6b - 7b)( 6a - 7a + 6b + 7b)
= (13a - b)(-a + 13b)
If you require the expansion of this it is:
-13a^2 + 170ab - 13b^2.
I only could find part of the triangle sorry, but u1 is 2 radical 2
A graphing calculator can do a linear regression on these points very easily. The y-intercept is 107.

If you want to do this by hand, you can use the 2-point form of the equation for a line, then evaluate for x=0.
.. y = (100 -102)/(35 -25)*(x -25) +102
.. y =-2/10*(0 -25) +102
.. y = 107
