Algebra.Com's Answer #325665 by robertb(5830)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic series:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> 8000 = -8000 + (n-1)4 ==> 16000 = 4(n-1)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> n-1 = 4000 ==> n = 4,001, the number of integers from -8,000 to 8, 000 divisible by 4. \n" ); document.write( "(Note that we have let -8,000 be the first term of the arithmetic series, which is actually divisible by 4.) \n" ); document.write( " |
