Answer:
390
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of sum of arithmetic sequence is
The number of this series are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, . . . . , 60.
The first term ( a ) = 2
The 30th even number is 60
The Tn is the term of the sequence
So the equation is
30/2 x ( 2 + )
= 60
30/2 x ( 2 + 60 )
30/2 x (62)
1860/2
390
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So when you express a linear function in slope-intercept form it's given in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. This is because as x increases by 1, the y-value will increase by m (because multiplication), and since the slope is defined as rise/run, the rise will be m, and run will be 1, giving you a slope of m/1 or m. The reason b is the y-intercept, is because whenever the linear function crosses the y-axis, the x-value will always be 0. Meaning that mx will be 0 because m * 0 will equal 0... and that leaves b by it self, so b will determine the y-intercept.
So if you look at the graph, the linear function crosses the y-axis as (0, 2) so the value of b will be 2. This gives you the equation y=mx+2.
Now to calculate the slope, we can take any two points and see how much the rise was and how much the run was. It can also be more formally defined in the equation: . So let's take the points (0, 2) and (8, 8). As you can see the x-value increases by 8 or "ran" by 8, and the y-value increased by 6. So the rise over run in this case is 6/8 which can simplified as 3/4. That is the slope. This gives you the complete equation of:
