Answer:
The sum of the first 650 terms of the given arithmetic sequence is 2,322,775
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term here is 4
while the nth term would be ai = a(i-1) + 11
Kindly note that i and 1 are subscript of a
Mathematically, the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence can be calculated using the formula
Sn = n/2[2a + (n-1)d)
Here, our n is 650, a is 4, d is the difference between two successive terms which is 11.
Plugging these values, we have
Sn = (650/2) (2(4) + (650-1)11)
Sn = 325(8 + 7,139)
Sn = 325(7,147)
Sn = 2,322,775
Its adding the current number by the previous number so the next three would be 21,34,55
Okay, so total dogs are 49.
So we know if x=large dogs and y=small dogs, then x+y=49.
Next we are told that there are 36 MORE small dogs than large dogs. We can take that more meaning addition, and x being our value for large dogs. So y=x+36.
After that we now know what value we can plug in for y. So x+x+36=49.
We can then simplify it to 2x+36=49.
Subtracting the 36 from both sides, leaves you with 2x=13.
Followed by dividing both sides by 2, gives you x=6.5. Or 6.5 large dogs.
Now we can plug this into our formula for the small dogs (y=x+36) to give us y=6.5+36, which simplifies to y=42.5. Or 42.5 small dogs. Which is our answer.
We can double check it by adding the small and large dogs together, 6.5+42.5, which gives us 49, our total entries.
