Answer:

1. a_n = a_(n-1) + n where a_1 is 1 or a_n = n(n+1)/2

2. 231

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that from 1 to 3, you add 2; from 3 to 6, you add 3; from 6 to 10, you add 4, etc. The pattern here is add 2, add 3, add 4, add 5, etc.

1. Let the nth term be a_n. The recursive equation can be written as a_n = a_(n-1) + n where a_1 = 1 (Use this because they most likely teach you this in schools)

<em>Here is it written in an arithmetic equation (most likely not taught in school):</em>

We can write an arithmetic expression using the summation formula because it is basically the sum of the numbers from 1 to n, so a_n = n(n+1)/2

2. Using the recursive, we would need to constantly add until you get up to a_21, which would take a while. Using the arithmetic equation, we can simply get:

21(21+1)/2 = 21(11) = 231

I hope this helps! :)

As we can see that common difference is increasing to one more digit after every term

so it means

a21 = 231

<span>Equivalent ratios are ratios that name the same comparison. Meanwhile, equivalent fractions </span><span>are fractions that name the same amount or part.

Length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width. Four squares are constructed outside the rectangle such that each of the sq
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is one of those questions that can throw you. The problem is that do you include the original rectangle or not. The way it is written it sounds like you shouldn't

However if you don't the question gives you 2 complex answers. (answers with the sqrt( - 1) in them.

Solution

Let the width = x

Let the length = x + 5

Area of the rectangle: L * w = x * (x + 5)

Area of the smaller squares (there are 2)

Area = 2*s^2

x = s

Area = 2 * x^2

Area of the larger squares = 2 * (x+5)^2

Total Area

x*(x + 5) + 2x^2 + 2(x + 5)^2 = 120                 Expand

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2(x^2 + 10x + 25) = 120     Remove the brackets

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2x^2 + 20x + 50 = 120      collect the like terms on the left

5x^2 + 25x +  50 = 120                                   Subtract 120 from both sides.

5x^2 + 25x - 70 = 0                                         Divide through by 5

x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0                                               Factor

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0                                                 x + 7 has no meaning  

x - 2 =  0

x = 2                                                              

Perimeter

P = 2*w + 2*L

w = 2

L = 2 + 5

L = 7

P = 2*2 + 2 * 7

P = 4 + 14

P = 18

taurus [48]
Product of two consecutive integer so this mean that x and y but y = x+1 than

x(x+1)=1332

x^2 +x -1332 =0  so bc. you get 36*37=1332 and 37x-36x=x so you can rewriting this quadratic factorized completlie 

x^2 +x -1332 = 0

(x+37)(x-36)=0

x+37=0

x=-37 so the larger integer result that will be 37
