Given:

The first two terms in an arithmetic progression are -2 and 5.

The last term in the progression is the only number in the progression that is greater than 200.

To find:

The sum of all the terms in the progression.

Solution:

We have,

First term : a=-2

Common difference : d = 5 - (-2)

                                      = 5 + 2

                                      = 7

nth term of an A.P. is

a_n=a+(n-1)d

where, a is first term and d is common difference.

a_n=-2+(n-1)(7)

According to the equation, a_n>200.

-2+(n-1)(7)>200

(n-1)(7)>200+2

(n-1)(7)>202

Divide both sides by 7.

(n-1)>28.857

Add 1 on both sides.

n>29.857

So, least possible integer value is 30. It means, A.P. has 30 term.

Sum of n terms of an A.P. is

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Substituting n=30, a=-2 and d=7, we get

S_{30}=\dfrac{30}{2}[2(-2)+(30-1)7]

S_{30}=15[-4+(29)7]

S_{30}=15[-4+203]

S_{30}=15(199)

S_{30}=2985

Therefore, the sum of all the terms in the progression is 2985.

Does the graph above have an Hamiltonian circuit, Hamiltonian path, or neither? Paths and Circuits Help
Hatshy [7]

a. Only a Hamiltonian path

One such path is

1 → 2 → 0 → 4 → 3

which satisfies the requirement that each vertex is visited exactly once.

There is no Hamiltonian circuit, however, since it is impossible for any Hamiltonian path on this graph to visit vertex 0 exactly once.

The manager at Gabriel's Furniture Store is trying to figure out how much to charge for a bookshelf that just arrived. The books
melomori [17]

First: markup rate × wholesale price = amount of markup

Second: Well the markup rate is a percentage, you have to convert it into a decimal. Percent means "out of one hundred," so <span>80%</span> is equivalent to <span>80/100 </span>which is also equal to <span>80÷100</span>.

<span>Third: 80÷100=0.80</span>

0.80 × $93.00 = $74.40

Fourth: The markup rate is a percentage of the wholesale price that is added to get the retail price, you can find the retail price with the following equation: amount of markup + wholesale price = retail price

<span>$74.40</span> + <span>$93.00</span> = <span>$167.40</span>

The retail price of the chair should be <span>$167.40</span>.
