The answer would be -4
Hope this helps
Answer: Choice A
S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)
===============================================
The formula is
Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)
where
Sn = sum of the first n terms (nth partial sum)
n = number of terms
a1 = first term
an = nth term
In this case,
n = 9
a1 = 2 (plug in n = 1 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)
an = a9 = 26 (plug n = 9 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)
So,
Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)
S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)
will help us find the sum of the first 9 terms of this arithmetic sequence
Answer:
Graph D
Step-by-step explanation:
it does not pass the linear test to qualify as a function
I believe it's increasing on all fronts, because if you start from the right, you see that the y values always increase, hence they are increasing. They do it for when x<0 and when x>0. So, it should be increasing on all real numbers
