Explanation:

Note we subtract 3 off the previous term (t1) to get the next term (t2). Each new successive term is found this way

and so on. This process may take a while to reach 
There's a shortcut. The nth term of any arithmetic sequence is

We plug in
and simplify

Then we can plug in various positive whole numbers for n to find the corresponding
value. For example, plug in n = 2

which matches with the second term we found earlier. And,

---------------------
The notation
refers to the sum of the first ten terms 
We could use either the long way or the shortcut above to find all
through
. Then add those values up. Or we can take this shortcut below.

The sum of the first ten terms is -85
-----------------------
As a check for
, here are the first ten terms:
- t1 = 5
- t2 = 2
- t3 = -1
- t4 = -4
- t5 = -7
- t6 = -10
- t7 = -13
- t8 = -16
- t9 = -19
- t10 = -22
Then adding said terms gets us...
5 + 2 + (-1) + (-4) + (-7) + (-10) + (-13) + (-16) + (-19) + (-22) = -85
This confirms that
is correct.
Yeah sure, but i need to see the picture to get your answer
Answer:
37.68
Step-by-step explanation:
Circumference = Diameter x pi
Diameter = 12 feet
12 x 3.14 = 37.68
The circumference of the pool is 37.68 feet.
Answer:
that would be -2200 sorry if im wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
You could easily change the 2 1/2 to a 2.5 and do 2.5-6=-3.5
