sum of sequence Find the sum of 46 + 42 + 38 + ... + (-446) + (-450) is -25,250

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We need to find sum of sequence  : 46 + 42 + 38 + ... + (-446) + (-450)

Given sequence is an AP with following parameters as :

a=46\\d=42-46=-4

So , Let's calculate how many terms are there as :

⇒ a_n=a +(n-1)d

⇒ -450=46 +(n-1)(-4)

⇒ -496=(n-1)(-4)

⇒ \frac{-496}{-4}=n-1

⇒ 124=n-1

⇒ n=125

Sum of an AP is :

⇒ S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)

⇒ S_1_2_5 = \frac{125}{2}(2(46)+(125-1)(-4))

⇒ S_1_2_5 = \frac{125}{2}(-404)

⇒ S_1_2_5 =-25,250

Therefore , sum of sequence Find the sum of 46 + 42 + 38 + ... + (-446) + (-450) is -25,250

The sum of the given sequence is -25500.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The given Arithmetic sequence is 46 + 42 +38... +(-446) +(-450).

  • The first term of the sequence = 46
  • The last term of the sequence = -450
  • The common difference ⇒ 42 - 46 = - 4

<u>To find the number of terms in the sequence :</u>

The formula used is n = (\frac{a_{n}-a_{1}} {d})+1

where,

  • n is the number of terms.
  • a_{n} is the late term which is -450.
  • a_{1} is the first term which is 46.
  • d is the common difference which is 4.  

Therefore, n =(\frac{-450-46}{-4}) +1

⇒ n = (\frac{-496}{-4}) + 1

⇒ n = 124 + 1

⇒ n =125

∴ The number of terms, n = 125.

<u>To find the sum of the arithmetic progression :</u>

The formula used is S = \frac{n}{2}(a_{1} + a_{n} )

where,

  • S is the sum of the sequence.
  • a_{1} is the first term which is 46.
  • a_{n} is the late term which is -450.

Therefore, S = \frac{125}{2}(46+ (-450))

⇒  S = \frac{125}{2}(-404)

⇒ S = 125 \times -202

⇒ S = -25500

∴ The sum of the given sequence is -25500.

4 x 2/4 as a mixed fraction
aliina [53]

4 x 2/4

2/4 can be reduced to 1/2

Now you have 4 x 1/2

Multiply 4 by 1 then divide by 2:

4 x 1 = 4

4/2 = 2

The answer is 2
