1 ton= 2,000 pounds
STEP 1:
Multiply number of tons by 2,000 pounds
= 3 tons * 2,000 lbs/ton
= 6,000 lbs
STEP 2:
Add the extra pounds given (600 pounds) to calculated pounds in step 1
= 6,000 lbs + 600 lbs
= 6,600 pounds
ANSWER: 3 tons 600 pounds is equal to 6,600 pounds.
Hope this helps! :)
The general formula for an arithmetic sequence is:
<span>a(n) = a + d(n - 1) </span>
<span>a : first term </span>
<span>d : common difference (6) </span>
<span>n : number of the term </span>
<span>In your example, you are told the 6th term is 22. </span>
<span>a(6) = a + 6(6 - 1) = 22 </span>
<span>a + 30 = 22 </span>
<span>a = 22 - 30 </span>
<span>a = -8 </span>
<span>So now you have the general formula: </span>
<span>a(n) = -8 + 6(n - 1) </span>
<span>If you like you can simplify it: </span>
<span>a(n) = -8 + 6n - 6 </span>
<span>a(n) = 6n - 14 </span>
<span>Then you can plug in n = 50: </span>
<span>a(50) = 6(50) - 14 </span>
<span>= 300 - 14 </span>
<span>= 286</span>
Answer:
6n( n - 1 )( n^3 - 3n - 3)
