Answer:

The sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence is 2,273,920.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

The difference between consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference, and the nth term is given by:

a_{n} = a_0 + (n-1)d

In which d is the common difference.

Sum of the first n terms:

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

S_{n} = \frac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}

ai = ai-1 + 6

This means that d = 6

In this question:

Sum of the first 800 terms, so n = 800

First term is -53, so a_1 = -53

The 880th term is:

a_{880} = -53 + (880-1)*6 = 5221

Sum

S_{n} = \frac{880(-53+5221)}{2} = 440(-53+5221) = 2273920

The sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence is 2,273,920.

Evaluate the following expression. Express your answer in simplest form. 3/16 + 5/8 × 1/2​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to follow the order of operations. Since there are no parenthesis or exponents, we do multiplication first. to multiple fractions, we multiply the two numerators (top parts), which in this situation would get us 5*1=5. Then, we multiply the two denominators (bottom parts), which would get us 8*2=16. then we put the first result over the second, and we get 5/16. since the two denominators are the same, we don't need to change anything. we can just add the numerator, and get 8/16, which simplifies to 1/2.

Find the value of x.<br><br> RZ = 30<br> SW = 5x - 20
Murrr4er [49]
|RZ|=0.5|SW| therefore 2|RZ|=|SW|.

5x - 20 = 2 · 30

5x - 20 = 60    |add 20 to both sides

5x = 80    |divide both sides by 5

x = 16
