Answer:
10 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
equate the sum formula to 55 and solve for n
n(n + 1) = 55 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
n(n + 1) = 110 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
n² + n = 110 ( subtract 110 from both sides )
n² + n - 110 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 110) which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term (+ 1)
the factors are + 11 and - 10 , since
11 × - 10 = - 110 and 11 - 10 = + 1 , then
(n + 11)(n - 10) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 11 = 0 ⇒ n = - 11
n - 10 = 0 ⇒ n = 10
However, n > 0 , then n = 10
number of terms which sum to 55 is 10

Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Lisa and Frank type at the same rate.
They both type 1 page every six minutes.
Lisa types 6 pages every 36 minutes, and if we divide the minutes by the pages, we get
And Frank types 5 pages ever 30 minutes, when we divide we get
In this question, the profit of the restaurant after t months is given by a polynomial function. To find when it begins to show a profit, we find the numerical values of the function for t, and it shows a profit when
Profit after t months:
0 months:
This is P(0). So
1 month:
This is P(1). So
2 months:
This is P(2). So
3 months:
This is P(3). So
4 months:
This is P(4). So
5 months:
This is P(5). So
6 months:
This is P(6). So
7 months:
This is `P(7). So
After 7 months it shows profit, so it starts showing profit on the 6th month, and thus, the correct answer is given by option D.
