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

Mathematics

VMariaS [17]3 years ago

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 could use some help , i really cant do geometry :(
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

I am not sure but for

CAE it is 65˚

CBD it is 65˚

Step-by-step explanation:

x+40=3x-10

Move the 3x to the other side by subtracting by 3x on both sides

x-3x+40=3x-3x-10

The equation now looks like this:

-2x+40=-10

Move 40 to the other side by subtracting 40 both sides:

-2x+40-40=-10-40

-2x=-50

Divide by -2 on both sides:

-2x/-2=-50/-2

x=25

Since we found out what x is we can replace x in both CAE and CBD:

For CBD: 25+40 is 65

For CAE: 3(25)-10 is 65

What is the inverse of the function g(x) = x^3/8 + 16 ?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

\hookrightarrow \: { \rm{f(x) =  \frac{ {x}^{3} }{8}  + 16}} \\

• let f(x) be m:

{ \rm{m =  \frac{ {x}^{3} }{8}  + 16}} \\

• make x the subject of the function:

{ \rm{8m =  {x}^{3}  + 128}} \\  \\ { \rm{ {x}^{3} = 8m - 128 }} \\  \\ { \rm{ {x}^{3} = 8(m - 16) }} \\  \\ { \rm{x =  \sqrt[3]{8}  \times  \sqrt[3]{(m - 16)} }} \\  \\ { \rm{x = 2 \sqrt[3]{(m - 16)} }}

• therefore:

{ \boxed{ \rm{ {f}^{ - 1} (x) = 2 {(m - 16)}^{ \frac{1}{3} } }} }\\

A spinner has equal regions numbered 1 through 20. What is the probability that the spinner will stop on an odd number or a mult
klio [65]

Answer:

<em>Probability that the spinner will stop on an odd number or a multiple of 5 is </em><em>0.6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = \frac{Required outcomes}{Total possible outcomes}

We are given the equal regions numbered from 1 through 20 which means that our total possible outcomes are 20

<em>Total possible outcomes: 20</em>


<em>Outcomes that spinner will stop on an odd number, n(Odd): 10</em>

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19

Probability of spinner stoping on Odd number:

P(Odd) = \frac{n(Odd)}{Total} = \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5


Outcomes that spinner will stop on a multiple of 5, n(5): 4

5, 10, 15, 20

Probability of spinner stoping on multiple of 5:

P(5) = \frac{n(5)}{Total} = \frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2

Odd numbers which are a multiple of 5 are: 5 and 15

So,

P(Odd and 5) = \frac{2}{20}=\frac{1}{10}=0.1

Thus Probability of spinner stopping at odd number or a multiple of 5 becomes:

P(Odd or 5) = P(Odd) + P(5) - P(Odd and 5) = 0.5 + 0.2 - 0.1 = 0.6

Find the sin in the triangle
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

.324 or 18.9 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

rule is

sine equals opposite over hypotenuse,

cosine equals adjacent over hypotenuse, and

tangent equals opposite over adjacent

OR

soh cah toa

sine = soh = 12/37 = .324

arcsin(.324) or sin^-1(.324) in DEGREES not radians =

18.9 degrees
