The given series is -1 + -3 + -5 + -7 +...

Alternatively it can be written as , say s then

S= -1 -3 -5 -7 ...\\ \\ S=-(1+3+5+7+........)\\ \\ \text{This is an arithmetic series with first term=a=1 and }\\ \text{common diffrence=d=3-1=2}\\ \\ \text{Using the arithmetic series sum formula we can say}\\ \\ S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\\ \\ S_{15}=\frac{15}{2}[2*1+(15-1)*2]\\   \\ S_{15}=\frac{15}{2}[2+28]\\ \\ S_{15}=\frac{15}{2}*30\\ \\ S_{15}=225\\ \\ \text{Hence the sum of the given sequence is }= -225\\

Answer:

(I can't figure out number one)

2. 7 1/2 feet below sea level or -7 1/2 feet

3. It would stop on the 17th floorl

Step-by-step explanation:

2. You subtract 20 1/2 by 28 to get your answer. Flipped around, 28 - 20 1/2 is 7 1/2 so back to the right way would be -7 1/2 or 7 1/2 feet below sea level.

3. 23 + 5 = 28

28 - 14 = 14

14 + 3 = 17

So the 17th floor would be the answer.

Explain how solving $2x<-8$ is different from solving $-2x<8$ .
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

When we divide by a negative value, the sign for the inequality changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x < -8, to solve we would divide by 2 and receive x < -4. However, in solving -2x < 8, we would divide by negative 2, which would result in x > -4. Clearly, these sequences provide opposite answers and that is a rule to inequalities, that when dividing by a negative number, we must flip the less than/greater than sign.
