Answer:
The sum of the first 20 terms is -1440.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the sum of the first 20 terms of the arithmetic sequence:
4, -4, -12, -20...
The sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by:
Where <em>k</em> is the number of terms, <em>a</em> is the initial term, and <em>x</em>_<em>k</em> is the last term.
Since we want to find the sum of the first 20 terms, <em>k</em> = 20.
Our initial term <em>a</em> is 4.
Our last term is also the 20th term as we want the sum of the first 20 terms.
To find the 20th term, we can write an explicit formula for our sequence. The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:
Where <em>a</em> is the initial term, <em>d</em> is the common difference, and <em>n</em> is the <em>n</em>th term.
Our initial term is 4. From the sequence, we can see that our common difference is -8 since each subsequent term is eight less than the previous term. Therefore:
Then the last or 20th term is:
Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms are:
Answer:
it will be 10
Step-by-step explanation:
There seems to be a flaw with this question because it says that there are five x-intercepts but the given information only gives you 4 x-intercepts to work with.
Even means the graph is symmetric about the y-axis
The best answer is <span>A.(–6, 0), (–2, 0), and (0, 0)
because you do not have to worry about another point (0,0). Plus we need (-6,0) for it to be symmetric with (6,0).
Consider function f(x) = x²(x-6)(x+6)(x+2)</span>²(x-2)<span>². It is even and fits these conditions as it has x-intercepts at (6,0), (-6,0), (-2,0), (2,0), and (0,0). again, the question does not tell us the fifth x-intercept, so we need to assume that there is another one that needs to be there...and so (-2,0) must have (2,0) for it to be even as well.</span>
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
choice A is not guaranteed since the values varied from 0 to 7.
choice B seems alright, but doesn't include about or anything about the long run.
choice C is incorrect because 50% are less than 3.12 and 50% are greater than 3.12.
choice D seems pretty good, since it says average, long run, approach, etc.
choice E is incorrect because it says "will be". It is not definite.
