Algebra.Com's Answer #622335 by josgarithmetic(39618)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! check for the formulas in your book; but t is for term and s is for a summation. You have arithmetic sequence and series. This help is for your part (a).\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t1+(n-1)d=tn, excuse the poor subscripting; and you have t1+(3-1)d=6.5.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next facts give you s=(n/2)(t1+tn) but I really should show this to you better as \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You will have two equations in the two unknowns |
