Arithmetic Sequence
Find:'nth' term of each
i)n^2+2n
ii) n^2- 2n
Solution:1) Sum of first n terms = n² + 2n
We know that,
Sum of first n terms = n/2 * [ a + l ]
Where,
a is first term
l is nth or last term.
Substitute n = 1 to find the sum of first 1 terms i.e., first term (a) of the AP.
→ S₁ = a = (1)² + 2(1)
→ a = 1 + 2
→ a = 3
Hence,
→ n/2 * [ a + l ] = n² + 2n
→ a + l = n(n + 2) * 2/n
→ a + l = 2n + 4
→ l = 2n + 4 - a
→ l = 2n + 4 - 3
→ l = 2n + 1
Hence, the nth term is 2n + 1.
2)S(n) = n² - 2n
→ S₁ = a = (1)² - 2(1)
→ a = - 1
Hence,
→ n/2 * [ - 1 + l ] = n² - 2n
→ l - 1 = n(n - 2) * 2/n
→ l - 1 = 2n - 4
→ l = 2n - 4 + 1
→ l = 2n - 3
Hence, the nth term is 2n - 3.
I hope it will help you.

Step-by-step explanation:
Series
The series of a sequence is the sum of the sequence to a certain number of terms. It is often written as Sn. So if the sequence is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... , the sum to 3 terms = S3 = 2 + 4 + 6 = 12.
The Sigma Notation
The Greek capital sigma, written S, is usually used to represent the sum of a sequence. This is best explained using an example:
This means replace the r in the expression by 1 and write down what you get. Then replace r by 2 and write down what you get. Keep doing this until you get to 4, since this is the number above the S. Now add up all of the term that you have written down.
This sum is therefore equal to 3×1 + 3×2 + 3×3 + 3×4 = 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 30.
3
S 3r + 2
r = 1
This is equal to:
(3×1 + 2) + (3×2 + 2) + (3×3 + 2) = 24 .
The General Case
n
S Ur
r = 1
This is the general case. For the sequence Ur, this means the sum of the terms obtained by substituting in 1, 2, 3,... up to and including n in turn for r in Ur. In the above example, Ur = 3r + 2 and n = 3.
Arithmetic Progressions
An arithmetic progression is a sequence where each term is a certain number larger than the previous term. The terms in the sequence are said to increase by a common difference, d.
For example: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, is an arithmetic progression where d = 2. The nth term of this sequence is 2n + 1 .
In general, the nth term of an arithmetic progression, with first term a and common difference d, is: a + (n - 1)d . So for the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, ... Un = 3 + 2(n - 1) = 2n + 1, which we already knew.
The sum to n terms of an arithmetic progression
This is given by:
Sn = ½ n [ 2a + (n - 1)d ]
You may need to be able to prove this formula. It is derived as follows:
The sum to n terms is given by:
Sn = a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) + … + (a + (n – 1)d) (1)
If we write this out backwards, we get:
Sn = (a + (n – 1)d) + (a + (n – 2)d) + … + a (2)
Now let’s add (1) and (2):
2Sn = [2a + (n – 1)d] + [2a + (n – 1)d] + … + [2a + (n – 1)d]
So Sn = ½ n [2a + (n – 1)d]
Example
Sum the first 20 terms of the sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ... (i.e. the first 20 odd numbers).
S20 = ½ (20) [ 2 × 1 + (20 - 1)×2 ]
= 10[ 2 + 19 × 2]
= 10[ 40 ]
= 400
Geometric Progressions
A geometric progression is a sequence where each term is r times larger than the previous term. r is known as the common ratio of the sequence. The nth term of a geometric progression, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio, is:
arn-1
For example, in the following geometric progression, the first term is 1, and the common ratio is 2:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...
The nth term is therefore 2n-1
The sum of a geometric progression
The sum of the first n terms of a geometric progression is:
a(1 - rn )
1 – r
We can prove this as follows:
Sn = a + ar + ar2 + … + arn-1 (1)
Multiplying by r:
rSn = ar + ar2 + … + arn (2)
(1) – (2) gives us:
Sn(1 – r) = a – arn (since all the other terms cancel)
And so we get the formula above if we divide through by 1 – r .
Example
What is the sum of the first 5 terms of the following geometric progression: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 ?
S5 = 2( 1 - 25)
1 - 2
= 2( 1 - 32)
-1
= 62
The sum to infinity of a geometric progression
In geometric progressions where |r| < 1 (in other words where r is less than 1 and greater than –1), the sum of the sequence as n tends to infinity approaches a value. In other words, if you keep adding together the terms of the sequence forever, you will get a finite value. This value is equal to:
a
1 – r
Example
Find the sum to infinity of the following sequence:
1 , 1 , 1 ,
1
,
1
,
1
, ...
2 4 8 16 32 64
Here, a = 1/2 and r = 1/2
Therefore, the sum to infinity is 0.5/0.5 = 1 .
So every time you add another term to the above sequence, the result gets closer and closer to 1.
Harder Example
The first, second and fifth terms of an arithmetic progression are the first three terms of a geometric progression. The third term of the arithmetic progression is 5. Find the 2 possible values for the fourth term of the geometric progression.
The first term of the arithmetic progression is: a
The second term is: a + d
The fifth term is: a + 4d
So the first three terms of the geometric progression are a, a + d and a + 4d .
In a geometric progression, there is a common ratio. So the ratio of the second term to the first term is equal to the ratio of the third term to the second term. So:
a + d = a + 4d
a a + d
(a + d)(a + d) = a(a + 4d)
a² + 2ad + d² = a² + 4ad
d² - 2ad = 0
d(d - 2a) = 0
therefore d = 0 or d = 2a
The common ratio of the geometric progression, r, is equal to (a + d)/a
Therefore, if d = 0, r = 1
If d = 2a, r = 3a/a = 3
So the common ratio of the geometric progression is either 1 or 3 .

How can you graphically tell if a quadratic equation will have a complex solution?
Answer:
If it does not cross the x axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the quadratic equation does not cross the x axis (or more specifically, if the quadratic is an upward opening parabola and the vertex is above the x axis, or if the quadratic is a downward opening parabola and the vertex is below the x axis), it will have no real solution
The fundamental theorem of algebra says that quadratics must have 2 solutions, so the solutions must be imaginary.

Tran planned a rectangular pool and made a scale drawing using centimeters as the unit of measerment he oringinaly planned for the lenth of the pool to be 40m but decided to change to 32 m if the lenth of the pool in his scsale drawing is 8 centimeters which statement about the change of scale is true
Answer:
The question is not complete, fortunately, I found a match:
Tran planned a rectangular pool and made a scale drawing using centimeters as the unit of measurement. he originally planned for the length of the pool to be 40 m but decided to change it to 32 m. if the length of the pool in his scale drawing is 8 cm, which statement about the change of scale is true?
one cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.
one cm represented 40 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 32 m in the second scale.
one cm represented 1 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 ft in the second scale.
one cm represented 4 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 m in the second scale.
answer:
one cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the scaling factor, we will divide the actual figure by the figure in the scale.
Before the change: 8cm in the drawing represents 40m
8cm ≡ 40m
∴ 1cm ≡ 40 ÷ 8 = 5m
∴ 1 cm represents 5m
After the change: 8cm in the drawing represents 32m
8cm ≡ 32m
∴ 1cm ≡ 32 ÷ 8 = 4
∴ 1cm represents 4m
Therefore, one cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.

Answer:
number 10
dy/dx =(dy/dt).(dt/dx)
now find
dy/dt=4t-1. , dt/dx=1
so : dy/dx=(4t-1).(1)
dy/dx= 4t-1 ,we have x=t-3-----> t=x+3
subtitute at t
dy/dx= 4(x+3)-1=4x+12-1= 4x+11
Consider the system of equations in standard form. x + 4y = 26, 3x – 4y = 30 What is the best window range for the x-values to determine the solution? What is the best window range for the y-values to determine the solution? What is the exact solution to the system of equations?
Answer: x + 4y = 26 Slope = -0.500/2.000 = -0.250
x-intercept = 26/1 = 26.00000
y-intercept = 26/4 = 13/2 = 6.50000
Step-by-step explanation: x + 4y = 26
Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 6.500 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 6.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 6.000 - 6.500 = -0.500 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)
Slope = -0.500/2.000 = -0.250
"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.
In this formula :
y tells us how far up the line goes
x tells us how far along
m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is
b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis
The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line x+4y-26 = 0 and calculate its properties
Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 13/2 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 6.50000
y-intercept = 26/4 = 13/2 = 6.50000
When y = 0 the value of x is 26/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=26.00000
x-intercept = 26/1 = 26.00000
3x – 4y = 30 Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750
x-intercept = 30/3 = 10
y-intercept = 30/-4 = 15/-2 = -7.50000
Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 15/-2 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-7.50000
y-intercept = 30/-4 = 15/-2 = -7.50000
y = 0 the value of x is 10/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=10.00000
x-intercept = 30/3 = 10
Answer:
What is the best window range for the x-values to determine the solution?
x-min=-10, x-max = 15
What is the best window range for the y-values to determine the solution?
y-min= 0, y-max = 5
What is the exact solution to the system of equations?

can someone help me with this
2x+4y+3z=6
x-2y+z=-5
-x-3y-2z=-7
solve for x,y,z
Answer:
x = -7 2/3, y = 1 1/3 and z = 5 1/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+4y+3z=6 ..... 1
x-2y+z=-5 ...... 2
-x-3y-2z=-7 .......3
Add equations 2 and 3 to eliminate x:
-5y - z = -12 .....4
Multiply equation 2 by - 2:
-2x + 4y - 2z = 10
Add this to equation 1:
8y + z = 16 ........ 5
Now add equation 4 to equation 5:
3y = 4
y = 4/3 = 1 1/3.
Now find z by substituting for y in equation 4:
-5(4/3) - z = -12
z = 12 - 20/3
z = 36/3 - 20/3 = 16/3 = 5 1/3.
Finally, we find x by substituting for y and z in equation 1:
2x + 4*4/3 + 3*16/3 = 6
2x = 6 - 16/3 - 16
2x = 18/3 - 16/3 - 48/3 = -46/3
x = 23/3 = 7 2/3.

Larry spends a total of 45 minutes running. He begins at a pace of 8 miles per hour and then reduces his speed to 5 miles per hour. Let t represent the number of minutes Larry spent running at the faster pace. Larry models his distance with the expression 8t+5(45−t) to model the situation. Did Larry correctly model the situation
Answer:
Yes, he did
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:.
Total time = 45
At time t, he moves at 8mph.
This gives: 8t
The time left is: 45 - t and he moves at 5mph, this gives 5(45 - t).
Hence, the total is
8t + 5(45 - t)
By comparison, we can conclude that Larry modeled the situation correctly.
