Answer:
The fifth line contains the error.
Step-by-step explanation:
Line 1 is the equation.
Lines 2, 3, and 4 are correct.
The error is in the 5th line.
The square root of a negative number is not a real number, so if this problem is solved only with real numbers, there is no solution.
If imaginary numbers are allowed, then the last line should read:
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.
Answer:
a₇ = 2.375
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is
r = 
= 
= 
= - 
This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term
= a₁ 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 152 and r = - , then
= 152 
, so
a₇ = 152 
= 152 × 
= 2.375
Answer:
It increases x3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the fraction to begin with was 100/100. Ignore the fact that it isn't fully reduced and it is an improper fraction.
10% of 100 is 10, so the numerator is now 90 (decrease=get smaller; 100-10=90).
70% of 100 is 70, so the denominator is now 30 (decrease=get smaller; 100-70=30).
Our fraction is now 90/30 which, when fully reduced, equals 3.00. Since 100/100 equals 1.00, it has increased by 2.00 (3x bigger).
