|2.5| because 2 and 1/2 are also 2.5 written in decimal, and the absolute value is always positive
You multiply 0.4 by 4.2 and that equals 1.68 so sumeet uses 1.68 gallons of gas in 4.2 hours.
Answer:
Option b is correct 175
Step-by-step explanation:
n = 7
k = 6
3k -2 ------1
put k = 6 in above eq. for finding first term
a1 = 3(6) - 2 = 18 - 2 = 16
put k = 7 in above eq. for finding first term
a2 = 3(7) - 2 = 21 - 2 = 19
a3 = 3 (8) - 2 = 24 - 2 = 22
16, 19 , 22, ... //Arithmetic series formation
a1 = 16 , a2 = 19
d = a2 - a1 = 19 - 16 = 3 //Difference of first two terms
Using sum forumula for arithmetic series
sum = 
= 
= 
=
=
= 7 * 25
= 175
