The Sequence:

1 , 1+2 , 1+2+3 , 1+2+3+4, ...

here, every term is an AP. finding the general formula for the sum of the elements of each term is:

Sₙ = \frac{x}{2}(2a + (x-1)d)    <em>    [where x = number of term, a = first term and d = common difference]</em>

here, the first term is always 1 and so is the common difference.

Sₙ = \frac{x}{2}(2 +x-1)

Sₙ = \frac{x}{2}(1 +x) = \frac{1}{2}(x + x^{2})

which is the formula for a general term in our series

now, we need to find the sum of the first n terms of this series

\displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^{n} [\frac{1}{2}(x + x^{2})]

\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} [\sum_{x=1}^{n} (x) + \sum_{x=1}^{n}(x^{2})]

in this formula, for the first term, it's just an AP from x = 1 to x = n

for the second term, we have a general formula \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}

\frac{1}{2}[\frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d)+ \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}  ]

in this AP (first term), the first term and the common difference is 1 as well

\frac{1}{2}[\frac{n}{2}(2 + n-1)+ \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}  ]

\frac{1}{2}[\frac{n}{2}(n+1)+ \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}  ]

[\frac{n}{4}(n+1)+ \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{12}  ]

\frac{n}{4}(n+1) [1+\frac{(2n+1)}{3} ]

\frac{n}{4}(n+1) [\frac{(3+2n+1)}{3} ]

\frac{n}{4}(n+1) [\frac{(2n+4)}{3} ]

\frac{n}{2}(n+1) [\frac{(n+2)}{3} ]

\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{6}

which is the sum of n terms of the given sequence

The value of U.S exports to China increased from $1480 million in 2011 to $2768 million
aliya0001 [1]

The percentage of increase was 87.027... %

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

The value of U.S exports to China increased from $1480 million to $2768 million.

Suppose, the percentage of increase is  x\%

So, <u>the amount of increase</u> = x\% of 1480 =1480*\frac{x}{100}=14.8x

Thus, the equation will be......

14.8x= 2768-1480\\ \\ 14.8x=1288\\ \\ x= \frac{1288}{14.8}=87.027....

So, the percentage of increase was 87.027... %
