Answer:
10 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
equate the sum formula to 55 and solve for n
n(n + 1) = 55 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
n(n + 1) = 110 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
n² + n = 110 ( subtract 110 from both sides )
n² + n - 110 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 110) which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term (+ 1)
the factors are + 11 and - 10 , since
11 × - 10 = - 110 and 11 - 10 = + 1 , then
(n + 11)(n - 10) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 11 = 0 ⇒ n = - 11
n - 10 = 0 ⇒ n = 10
However, n > 0 , then n = 10
number of terms which sum to 55 is 10
Answer: 10 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide the shape along the y-axis to get 2 separate triangles. If we find the area of each and add them up, we can get the total area of the figure.
We can get each triangle's area using the formula
base length - 4 units
height - 4 units
base length - 2 units
height - 2 units
Total = 8 units² + 2 units² = 10 units²
For this case we have the following polynomial:
We make the following change of variables:
Rewriting we have
Factoring the second order polynomial we have:
Then, returning the change we have:
Finally, we factor the expression in the parentheses of the second term:
Answer:
the completely factored form is:
