Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₅ is double a₇ , then

a₁ + 4d = 2(a₁ + 6d) , that is

a₁ + 4d = 2a₁ + 12d ( subtract a₁ from both sides )

4d = a₁ + 12d ( subtract 12d from both sides )

- 8d = a₁

The sum of n terms of an AP is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ] , substitute values

S_{17} = \frac{17}{2} ( 2(- 8d) + 16d)

     = 8.5(- 16d + 16d)

     = 8.5 × 0

     = 0

<span>25.7 years The rule of 72 is a simple approximation on how long it will take to double your money. You simply divide 72 by the interest rate and you'll have your estimate on the number of years it will take. So 72 / 2.8 = 25.7 years. To demonstrate that it's just an estimate, you can take the log of 2 and divide by the log of 1.028 to get the exact value. This far more complicated calculation gives the result of 25.1 years. And to be honest, the estimate of 25.7 years is more than close enough for such an quick and easy rule of thumb.</span>

Find the sum of (–4 + i) and (10 – 5i). –3 + 5i –3 – 5i 6 – 4i 6 – 6i
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The answer is 6 – 4i

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex values:

Have the following format: a + bi

In which a is the real part and b is the complex part.

Addition:

Suppose we are going to add two complex numbers. We add their real parts, and their complex parts separatly.

So

(–4 + i) + (10 – 5i) = (-4 + 10) + i(1-5) = 6 - 4i

The answer is 6 – 4i
