4 1/2 + 2 1/2 =
9/2 + 5/2 =
14/2 ........but 14/2 reduces to 7.....no need for a mixed number.....unless, maybe 7 0/0 ??

How is the series 5+11+17…+251 represented in summation notation?

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Series 5+11+17+...+251

To find:

Summation notation of the given series

Summation Notation:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{k=1}^n a_k}$

Where n is the number of terms and $\displaystyle \large{a_k}$ is general term.

First, determine what kind of series it is, there are two main series that everyone should know:

Arithmetic Series

A series that has common difference.

Geometric Series

A series that has common ratio.

If you notice and keep subtracting the next term with previous term:

11-5 = 6
17-11 = 6

Two common difference, we can in fact say that the series is arithmetic one. Since we know the type of series, we have to find the number of terms.

Now that brings us to arithmetic sequence, we know that first term is 5 and last term is 251, we’ll be finding both general term and number of term using arithmetic sequence:

Arithmetic Sequence

$\displaystyle \large{a_n=a_1+(n-1)d}$

Where $\displaystyle \large{a_n}$ is the nth term, $\displaystyle \large{a_1}$ is the first term and $\displaystyle \large{d}$ is the common difference:

So for our general term:

$\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+(n-1)6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=5+6n-6}\\\displaystyle \large{a_n=6n-1}$

And for number of terms, substitute $\displaystyle \large{a_n}$ = 251 and solve for n:

$\displaystyle \large{251=6n-1}\\\displaystyle \large{252=6n}\\\displaystyle \large{n=42}$

Now we can convert the series to summation notation as given the formula above, substitute as we get:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)$

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. 15x2 - 44x + 32 = 0

krek1111 [17]

If you want to find the solutions for this you have to factor it. Since it's a second degree polynomial, you'll have 2 solutions. Factoring this using the quadratic formula, you'll get factors of (5x-8)(3x-4). Solving these for x you get x = 8/5 and x = 4/3.

Taxicab Ride

Answer: Carlton's cabs is the cheaper option if she wants to travel 15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship can be written as:

c = a*n + b

where a is the slope (in this case, the rate per mile), n is the number of miles driven by the taxi, and b is the y-axis (in this case, the initial cost) intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

Then for each table we only need to take two points and construct the linear equation:

Treveon's Taxis:

We can use the two points (1, $5.25) and (3, $9.75)

Then the rate per mile, or the slope, will be:

a = ($9.75 - $5.25)/(3 - 1) = $2.25

This means that each mile costs $2.25

Then the equation will be written as:

c = $2.25*n + b

To find the value of b, we can just replace one of the points in the equation. For example, I will se the point (1, $5.25) this means that we need to replace n by 1, and c by $5.25

Then:

$5.25 = $2.25*1 + b

$5.25 - $2.25 = b

$3 = b

Then the initial cost here is $3.

And the equation will be:

c = $2.25*n + $3.

Carlton's Cabs:

Same approach as before, here I will use the points (1, $7.00) and (3, $10.50)

Then the rate per mile will be:

a = ($10.50 - $7.00)/(3 - 1) = $1.75

The rate per mile is $1.75 (is cheaper than in the previous case)

Then at the moment, the equation is:

c = $1.75*n + b

To find the initial cost, we do the same as before, here i will use the point (1, $7.00)

$7.00 = $1.75*1 + b

$7.00 - $1.75 = b

$5.25 = b

The initial cost here is $5.25

And the equation will be:

c = $1.75*n + $5.25

Now, which one is cheaper for 15 miles?

We only need to replace n by 15 in both equations, and see in which one the cost is lower:

Treveon's Taxis:

c(15) = $2.25*15 + $3 = $36.75

Carlton's Cabs:

c(15) = $1.75*15 + $5.25 = $31.5

Then Carlton's Cabs is a better option if you want to travel 15 miles.
