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.

What is the average rate of change for the function f(x)=3x^2 -5 on the interval −3 ≤ x ≤ −1 ?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = -1 and a = -3

The average rate of change = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

f(b) = f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2

f(a) = f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 5 =27 - 5 = 22

f(b) - f(a) = -2 - 22 = -24

b - a = -1 + 3 = 2

\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} = -24/2 = -12
