The sum S of the first n integers is given by the formula S=1/2n(n+1). How many integers must be taken to have a sum of
1 answer:
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
We require to solve for n, hence
n(n + 1) = 325
multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction
n(n + 1) = 650
n² + n = 650
subtract 650 from both sides to have equation in standard form
n² + n - 650 = 0 ← in standard form
(n + 26)(n - 25) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 26 = 0 ⇒ n = - 26
n - 25 = 0 ⇒ n = 25
however, n > 0 ⇒ n = 25

Step-by-step explanation:
5p + 6p -10 = -29 - 8p
11p - 10 = -29 - 8p
+10 +10 +8p
+8p = -19
19p=-19
p=-1
