Answer:
Any one of these three works:
plane MOU
plane MNU
plane NOU
Step-by-step explanation:
A plane can be named by a single letter, such as L in this problem, or by any three non-collinear points that lie on the plane. Non-collinear points are points that do not all lie in a single line.
Points M, N, O, and U lie on plane L, so you can choose any 3 of the 4 points to name the plane with, but make sure all 3 points are non-collinear.
To name plane L with points, you cannot use points MNO together since they are collinear, but you can name it using point U plus any two of the points M, N, and O.
plane L can be named
plane MOU
plane MNU
plane NOU
Do not name it plane MNO
Notice that
13 - 9 = 4
17 - 13 = 4
so it's likely that each pair of consecutive terms in the sum differ by 4. This means the last term, 149, is equal to 9 plus some multiple of 4 :
149 = 9 + 4k
140 = 4k
k = 140/4
k = 35
This tells you there are 35 + 1 = 36 terms in the sum (since the first term is 9 plus 0 times 4, and the last term is 9 plus 35 times 4). Among the given options, only the first choice contains the same amount of terms.
Put another way, we have
but if we make the sum start at k = 1, we need to replace every instance of k with k - 1, and accordingly adjust the upper limit in the sum.
