What is the sum of n natural numbers: 1+2+...+n?

If

S=1+2+\cdots+(n-1)+n

then we also have

S=n+(n-1)+\cdots+2+1

Pairing up the terms, we can find that

2S=(1+n)+(2+n-1)+\cdots+(n-1+2)+(n+1)

2S=(n+1)+(n+1)+\cdots+(n+1)+(n+1)

S consists of n terms, so there are n copies of n+1 in the sum 2S. Then we find an immediate closed form for the sum:

2S=n(n+1)\implies S=\dfrac{n(n+1)}2

Write a linear function of f with f(-3)=-2 and f(-2)=3
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

y=5x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

when x=-3, y=-2, and when x=-2,  y=3. we know that every time x increases by 1, y also increases by 5. This means that the slope is 5. to find the y-intercept, we need x to be 0. to find that, increase x by 2. if x increases by 2, then y would also increase by 10. add 10 to 3 and add 2 to -2 to get x=0 and y=13. the coordinates would be (0,13). the y-intercept is 13. now that we have enough information, we can conclude that y=5x+13. To check your answer, plug in the values for x.
