Let's start from what we know.

Note that:

(sign of last term will be + when n is even and - when n is odd).
Sum is finite so we can split it into two sums, first

with only positive trems (squares of even numbers) and second

with negative (squares of odd numbers). So:

And now the proof.
1) n is even.
In this case, both

and

have

terms. For example if n=8 then:

Generally, there will be:

Now, calculate our sum:



So in this case we prove, that:

2) n is odd.
Here,

has more terms than

. For example if n=7 then:

So there is

terms in

,

terms in

and:

Now, we can calculate our sum:




We consider all possible n so we prove that:
Answer:
B. s = 24t
Step-by-step explanation:
Since s varies directly with t, therefore, equation that will represent the relationship would take the form of s = my
m = rate of change
✔️Find the rate of change:
Rate of change using two given pairs, (0.5, 12) and (2.5, 60),
Rate of change (m) = ∆s/∆t = (60 - 12)/(2.5 - 0.5) = 48/2 = 24
✔️Substitute m = 24 into s = mt
s = 24t
3/4 × 2 2/5
Turn 2 2/5 into an improper fraction.
2 2/5 = (5 × 2) + 2 = 12
So, 2 2/5 = 12/5
So, our new question is : 3/4 × 12/5
Multiply the numerators (top numbers) with one another.
Numerators : (3 × 12) = 36
Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) with one another.
Denominators : (4 × 5) = 20
So, our answer is 36/20
However, we need this to be a mixed number.
So, how many times does 20 go into 36? Once!
So, Multiply 20 with 1, and then subtract that number from 36! :)
20 × 1 = 20
36 - 20 = 16
So, our answer is :
1 16/20
Then, you simplify it once more.
Divide the numerator and denominator by 4.
16 ÷ 4 = 4
20 ÷ 4 = 5
So, our final answer is 1 4/5

Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Please read explanations
Step-by-step explanation:
By direct calculations, we know that the nearest perfect square to 29 is 25
The next is 36;
Hence, since 29 is between 25 and 36; it is only proper that the square root of 29 is also between the square roots of both numbers
So, we can conclude that the square root is between 5 and 6
For actual values by calculating, we have this as 5.38 which to the nearest number is 5.4
so, we have the dot at the next 4 small lines after the number 5
