._.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bs dis is arithmtic progrsson

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u knoe formula of ap a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i don't think i learned that??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it s incrzing by 6 evry lvl

OpenStudy (aripotta):

ok, i know that formula

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so a_25 = 4 + (25 - 1)6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u need sum of arthmtic progrssion

OpenStudy (aripotta):

148??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

S = n/2(2a1 + (n-1)d)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use n=30,a1 = 4 and d=6 in d abv formula i gave

OpenStudy (aripotta):

why does n = 30??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

srry, n=25

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i used that formula and got 1900

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y did u use dat formula

OpenStudy (aripotta):

this formula S = n/2(2a1 + (n-1)d) because that's the arithmetic series formula??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rite ans!!!

OpenStudy (aripotta):

but?? the answer isn't 1900???

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

1300 ?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i'm so confused T-T

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

is the answer 1300 though?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i don't think so?? maybe?? seems a bit much for kid's building blocks??

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

wait no. calculation mistake. it should be 1900.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

it's 148. i just did it manually with the calculator; adding 6 25 times...

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so this is the formula i would use?? a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d ??

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

nope.. 1850.. calculation mistake again. nah you cant do that.. the first level has 4, then 10, then 16, then 22.. so you gotts add 4+10+16+22.... so on.

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

yeah calculate an.. 148?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

wtf do i do omg

OpenStudy (aripotta):

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d a_25 = 4 + (25 - 1)6 a_25 = 4 + 24(6) a _25 = 4 + 144 a_25 = 148

OpenStudy (aripotta):

but is that the right formula??

OpenStudy (aripotta):

or is that just telling me there's 148 blocks on level 25??

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

wtf.. 1900 is the answer.. i cant do simple multiplication. :/ yeah thats the right formula..

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so the answer is 1900?

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

next you use S_n= n/2 [a1+ an]

OpenStudy (aripotta):

n/2[2a1 + (n - 1)d] 25/2[2(4) + (25 - 1)6] 12.5[8 + 24(6)] 12.5(8 + 144) 12.5(152) 1900 this is correct?

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

yup.. looks right. i dont see any reason why 1900 shouldnt be correct.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so i had it correct this whole time lol. omg. thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 1900

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

Ha. You're welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
