Given:

In an arithmetic sequence,

a_1=2

a_i=a_{i-1}-3

To find:

The sum of the first 335 terms in the given sequence.

Solution:

The recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_i=a_{i-1}+d         ...(i)

Where, d is the common difference.

We have,

a_i=a_{i-1}-3          ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

d=-3

The sum of first i terms of an arithmetic sequence is:

S_i=\dfrac{i}{2}[2a+(i-1)d]

Putting i=335,a=2,d=-3, we get

S_{335}=\dfrac{335}{2}[2(2)+(335-1)(-3)]

S_{335}=\dfrac{335}{2}[4+(334)(-3)]

S_{335}=\dfrac{335}{2}[4-1002]

S_{335}=\dfrac{335}{2}(-998)

On further simplification, we get

S_{335}=335\times (-499)

S_{335}=-167165

Therefore, the sum of the first 335 terms in the given sequence is -167165.

A​ town's population increases in one year from 50,000 to 58,000. If the population is growing​ linearly, at a steady​ rate, the
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

66,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If a relation is linear, then for equal changes in x there are equal changes in y. If in 1 year the population increases by 8,000, then in any 1-year period, the population will also increase 8,000. The population started at 50,000. In 1 year, it became 50,000 + 8,000 = 58,000. At the end of the second year, it will have increased by another 8,000. 58,000 + 8,000 = 66,000.
