Answer:
<u>The sequence is</u>
- 1, 1 + 2, 1 + 2 + 3, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4, ...
Each term is the sum of the consecutive numbers from 1 to that number.
<u>The nth term is the sum of the first n numbers:</u>
- aₙ = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n
- aₙ = 1/2n(1 + n) (formula for sum of the n terms of arithmetic progression with the first term of 1 and common difference of 1)
- aₙ = n(n + 1)/2
1) The number of circles in the nth pile is n(n + 1)/2
2) When n tends to infinity the number of circles tends to infinity
Answer:
Gummy bears $3.20/lbs
Jelly beans $7.50/lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
For this we will substitute gummy bear price for "x" and jelly bean price for "y" which creates this system (also assuming there is no sales tax involved):
1.8x + 0.6y = 10.26
1.2x + 1.5y = 15.09
Then once solved, answers come out to be (x,y) = (16/5,15/2) which is (3.2,7.5)
