Answer is 8671/6 which is the third choice
===================================
Work Shown:
Find the first term of the sequence by plugging in n = 1
a_n = (5/6)*n + 1/3
a_1 = (5/6)*1 + 1/3 replace n with 1
a_1 = 5/6 + 1/3
a_1 = 5/6 + 2/6
a_1 = 7/6
Repeat for n = 58 to get the 58th term
a_n = (5/6)*n + 1/3
a_58 = (5/6)*58 + 1/3 replace n with 58
a_58 = (5/6)*(58/1) + 1/3
a_58 = (5*58)/(6*1) + 1/3
a_58 = 290/6 + 1/3
a_58 = 145/3 + 1/3
a_58 = 146/3
Now we can use the s_n formula below with n = 58
s_n = (n/2)*(a_1 + a_n)
s_58 = (58/2)*(a_1 + a_58) replace n with 58
s_58 = (58/2)*(7/6 + a_58) replace a_1 with 7/6
s_58 = (58/2)*(7/6 + 146/3) replace a_58 with 146/3
s_58 = (58/2)*(7/6 + 292/6)
s_58 = (58/2)*(299/6)
s_58 = (58*299)/(2*6)
s_58 = 17342/12
s_58 = 8671/6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse function, solve for y:
![x=f(y)\\\\x=4y^4\\\\\dfrac{x}{4}=y^4\\\\\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}=y\\\\f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3Df%28y%29%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%3D4y%5E4%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cdfrac%7Bx%7D%7B4%7D%3Dy%5E4%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%5Cdfrac%7Bx%7D%7B4%7D%7D%3Dy%5C%5C%5C%5Cf%5E%7B-1%7D%28x%29%3D%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%5Cdfrac%7Bx%7D%7B4%7D%7D)
f(x) is an even function, so f(-x) = f(x). Then the inverse relation is double-valued: for any given y, there can be either of two x-values that will give that result.
___
A function is single-valued. That means any given domain value maps to exactly one range value. The test of this is the "vertical line test." If a vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point, then that x-value maps to more than one y-value.
The horizontal line test is similar. It is used to determine whether a function has an inverse function. If a horizontal line intersects the graph in more than one place, the inverse relation is not a function.
__
Since the inverse relation for the given f(x) maps every x to two y-values, it is not a function. You can also tell this by the fact that f(x) is an even function, so does not pass the horizontal line test. When f(x) doesn't pass the horizontal line test, f^-1(x) cannot pass the vertical line test.
_____
The attached graph shows the inverse relation (called f₁(x)). It also shows a vertical line intersecting that graph in more than one place.
For the fourth term r = 3
Fourth term = 6C3(x)^(6 - 3) (4y)^3 = 20x^3 (64y^3) = 1,280x^3y^3
