Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
First day (a) = 1
1 more pebble every subsequent day than the previous day
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
d = common difference ; difference between pebbles in two successive days = 1
n = nth day
At the end of the 12th day;
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
T(12) = 1 + (12 - 1) 1
T(12) = 1 + 11
T(12) = 12
Appling the sun if arithmetic progression formula : Sum of AP:
n/2 (a + Tn)
n = number of terms
12/2 (1 + 12)
6(13)
= 78
Y=mx+b or -2=-1 x 2+b, b= -2(-1)(2) b=0
Therefore the equation of the line is
y=-1x
Y= 13.18x + 36 Blank 1: 13.18 & Blank 2: 36
