Answer:
C. 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference d = 4 and first term a = -3.
Sum of n terms = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]
Sum of six terms = (6/2)[2(-3) + (6 - 1)4]
= 3 * (-6 + 20)
= 42.
It would be true because 10,000-99,999=-89999 -89999<0 is true
The answer may be 7 or 12
Answer:
n =
, n = 
Step-by-step explanation:
6n² - 5n - 7 = - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
6n² - 5n + 1 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term
product = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 3 and - 2
Use these factors to split the n- term
6n² - 3n - 2n + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3n(2n - 1) - 1(2n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2n - 1) from each term
(2n - 1)(3n - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n = 
2n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2n = 1 ⇒ n =
