Answer:

(a) The value of s_z is (z+1)(3-z).

(b) The next term in the sequence is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

It is given that arithmetic sequence that starts with an initial index of 0.

The initial term is 3 and the common difference is -2.

a_0=3

d=-2

We need to find the value of s_z.

s_z=\sum_{n=0}^{n=z}(a+nd)

where, a is initial term and d is common difference.

s_z=\sum_{n=0}^{n=z}(3-2n)

The sum of an arithmetic sequence with  initial index 0 is

s_n=\frac{n+1}{2}[2a+nd]

where, a is initial term and d is common difference.

Substitute n=z, a=3 and d=-2 in the above formula.

s_z=\frac{z+1}{2}[2(3)+z(-2)]

s_z=\frac{z+1}{2}[2(3-z)]

s_z=(z+1)(3-z)

Therefore the value of s_z is (z+1)(3-z).

(b)

The given arithmetic sequence is

7, 4, 1, ...

We need to find the term in the sequence.

In the given arithmetic sequence the first term is

a=7

The common difference of the sequence is

d=a_2-a_1\Rightarrow 4-7=-3

The first term is 7 and common difference is -3.

Add common difference in last given term, i.e., 1, to find the next term of the sequence.

1+(-3)=1-3=-2

Therefore the next term in the sequence is -2.

Which of the following is equivalent to (16^3/2)^1/2? 6 8 12 64
Pani-rosa [81]
\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies  \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad
\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\left( 16^{\frac{3}{2}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\implies 16^{\frac{3}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}}\implies 16^{\frac{3}{4}}\qquad \boxed{16=2^4}\qquad (2^4)^{\frac{3}{4}}\implies 2^{4\cdot \frac{3}{4}}
