Find the sum Sn of the first n terms from the given sequence.

Mathematics
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]3 years ago
5 0

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

( I NEED THIS FAST)A speedometer has a percent error of 10%. The actual speed of the car is 40 mph. Select from the drop-down me
ikadub [295]

Answer = 36.0 mph


As per the question,


Actual speed of the car = 40 mph.

Speedometer has a percent error of 10%.

The error can be negative as well as positive.

If the error is negative, it means speedometer is showing less speed than actual speed= - 10%

10  % of 40 = 4

speed shown by speedometer = 40 - (10% of 40) = 36 mph

If the error is positive, it means speedometer is showing more speed than actual speed = +10%

speed shown by speedometer = 40 + ( 10% of 40) = 44 mph

as per the given options, correct option is 36.0 mph

Y=3x\4 if y= -6 find the value of x<br>please answer this for me, it's graded​
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x/4

Substitute the value of -6 into y.

-6 = 3x/4

Multiply both sides by 4.

-24 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3.

x = -8.

What digits makes 3,71? Divisible by 3 (connections academy unit test)
wlad13 [49]

Since we know that a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all digits is divisible by 3.

Let us check which digits will make 371? divisible by 3.

3+7+1+0=11

11 is not divisible by 3.

Now let us check other digits as well.

3+7+1+1=12

12 is divisible by 3.

3+7+1+4=15

15 is also divisible by 3.

3+7+1+7=18

18 is divisible by 3 as well.

Therefore, 1, 4 and 7 in tenth place will make our number divisible by 3 and our numbers will be 3711, 3714 and 3717.

No the value of functions are not same .

What is function in math?

  • A quantitative expression, rule, or law that describes the link between an independent variable and a dependent variable (the dependent variable).
  • In mathematics, functions occur widespread, and they are essential for defining physical links in the sciences.
  • A function is a type of rule that generates one output for a single output.
  • This is represented by the equation y=x2. Any inputs for x result in an output for y. Given that x is the input value, we would state that y is a result of x.
