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
4/6=66.67%
5/8=62.5%
Therfore 4/6 is bigger than 5/8
Answer:
The answer is 5 times
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to read the change in price in 2000 and 2007, from the graph.
So, the change in price in 2000 was $0.14 and in 2007 it was $0.71.
Now, we do the same thing we always do when comparing two values - we divide them. So:
0.71 / 0.14 = 5.07
Of course, we could multiply these values with 100, in order to avoid decimal numbers. Then we would get:
71 / 14 = 5.07
We could also divide this in the form of fractions:
71/100 / 14/100 = 5.07
There are several ways we could divide rational numbers, but the result will always be the same.
Change in price in 2007 was around 5 times greater than the change in 2000.
I hope this helps!!;-)
