Answer:

425.25


Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given 36th term as 14 and we know common difference is \frac{1}{8}, it means that from the first term, we add \frac{1}{8} to each and get 14 on the 36th term. To figure out the first term, thus, we have to subtract \frac{1}{8} 35 times from 14. Let's do it to get first term:

14-35(\frac{1}{8})=\frac{77}{8}=9.625

The sum of arithmetic sequence formula is:

S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Where,

  • S_{n} is the sum of nth term (we want to figure this out for first 36 terms)
  • a is the first term (we figured this out to be 9.625)
  • n is the term number (36 for our case)
  • d is the common difference (given as \frac{1}{8})

Substituting all the values, we get:

S_{36}=\frac{36}{2}[2(9.625)+(36-1)(\frac{1}{8})]\\S_{36}=18[19.25+4.375]\\S_{36}=18[23.625]\\S_{36}=425.25

First answer choice is right.

ANSWER

S_ {36} = 425.25


EXPLANATION

Since we know the 36th term to be 14, we can find the first term using the formula,

u_n= a+(n-1)d



This implies that,


14= a+(36-1) \times  \frac{1}{8}




14 = a +  \frac{35}{8}

a = 14 -  \frac{35}{8}



a =9.625


We can now find the sum of the first 36 terms using the formula,

S_n= \frac{n}{2} (2a + (n - 1)d)

S_  {36}  = \frac{36}{2} (2 \times 9.625+ (36 - 1) \times  \frac{1}{8} )


S_ {36}= 18(2 \times 9.625+ (35) \times  \frac{1}{8} )



S_ {36}= 18(23.625 ) = 425.25

Well I don't know ! 
Let's take a look and see:

The idea is that there could be more than one way
for a roll of the dice to land with the same number.  

-- If the sum is from 1-4, you get the point.
There are  6  different ways for a roll of the dice to come up 1-4.

-- If the sum is from 5-8, Adam gets the point.
There are  20  different ways for a roll of the dice to come up 5-8.

-- If the sum is 9-12, Lana gets the point.
There are  10  different ways for a roll of the dice to come up 9-12.

-- The game is not fair to all three of you.
-- Lana has a distinct advantage over you.
-- Adam has a big advantage over Lana.
-- Adam has an even bigger advantage over you.
-- You are at a big disadvantage.  (Notice that one of your
numbers ... 1 ... can never come up unless one of the dice
falls off of the table.)

Here's how to figure it:

Ways to roll a 2:
1 ... 1

Ways to roll a 3:
1 ... 2
2 ... 1

Ways to roll a 4:
1 ... 3
2 ... 2

What are the solutions to the equation y² –1 = 24? <br><br>Choose all answers that are correct.
noname [10]
Sadly, you didn't give me any choices to choose from.

y² - 1 = 24

Add 1 to each side :

y² = 25

y = √25

<u>y = +5</u>
and
<u>y = -5</u>

Let f(x) = 5x2 – 4x and g(x) = 5x + 1.
Nastasia [14]

f(x) = 5x^2 - 4x

g(x) = 5x + 1

Therefore f - g = 5x^2 - 4x - (5x + 1)

= 5x^2 - 4x - 5x -1

= 5x^2 -9x - 1


Hope it helps :)
