Answer:

-499,485.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can transform this to an arithmetic series by working it out in pairs:

6^2 - 7^2 = (6-7)(6+7) = -13

8^2 - 9^2 = (8-9)*8+9) = -17

10^2 - 11^2 = -1 * 21 = -21 and so on

The common difference is -4.

The number of terms in this series is (998 - 6) / 2 + 1

= 992/2 + 1 = 497.

Sum of n terms of an A.S:

= n/2 [2a1 + (n - 1)d

Here a1 = -13, n = 497, d = -4:

Sum = (497/2)[-26 - 4(497-1)]

= 497/2 * -2010

= -499,485.

Option 3:

m∠ABC = 66°

Solution:

Given $\overline {F A D} \| \overline {E H C}$ and ABH is a transversal line.

m∠FAB = 48° and m∠ECB = 18°

m∠ECB = m∠HCB = 18°

Property of parallel lines:

If two parallel lines cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are equal.

m∠FAB = m∠BHC

48° = m∠BHC

m∠BHC = 48°

Exterior angle of a triangle theorem:

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

m∠ABC = m∠BHC + m∠HCB

m∠ABC = 48° + 18°

m∠ABC = 66°

Option 3 is the correct answer.

Which of the following numbers is a Mersenne prime? A: 90 B: 27 - 1 C: 211 - 1 D: 15

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

B: 2⁷-1 = 127

Step-by-step explanation:

A Mersenne prime is a prime of the form 2^n -1, where n is also a prime.

Among the answer choices, neither 90=2·3²·5 nor 15=3·5 is prime. Both 2⁷-1 = 127 and 2¹¹-1 = 2047 are of the right form, but 2047 = 23·89 is a composite number.

2⁷-1 = 127 is a Mersenne prime
