A skier has decided that on each trip down a slope, she will do 2 more jumps than before. On her first trip she did 6 jumps. Derive the sigma notation that shows how many total jumps she attempts from her fourth trip down the hill through her twelfth trip. Then solve for the number of total jumps from her second to tenth trips.

Give me a sec i'm a little rusty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Want me to explain or just want the answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she will do 2 more jumps than before" means that the common difference between each two jumps is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since in the trip number 1 she jumped 6 times then the constant for 0 jumps is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just plug in the info

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill start it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did the arithmetic seq, You can do it by hand, w/o much work . plug in n=2 into (4+2n) then plug in n=3 into (4+2n) then plug in n=4 into (4+2n) etc until you get to n=10. Add them all up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait your not trying ti find the number of jumps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A 144 jumps B; 180 jumps C ; 234 jumps D ; 306 jumps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok now that makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do the thing i said above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and see how much you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it takes time don't worry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where do you plug the numbers into sigma

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That comes from the sequence look it should come out like this 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 18 + 20 + 22 + 24 Those are the number of jumps for how the sequence is going Just add them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep there you go, a is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yayyy thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Medal?? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with more? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks, good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um sure

Find the 6th partial sum of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A 78,432 B 11,204 C 9,555 D 2,387

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6th partial sum of?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait never mind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Want me to explain or just answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C would be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Identify whether the series(picture) is a convergent or divergent geometric series and find the sum, if possible.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer? or explain :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A This is a convergent geometric series. The sum is 48. B This is a divergent geometric series. The sum is 48. C This is a convergent geometric series. The sum cannot be found. D This is a divergent geometric series. The sum cannot be found

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K let give me a sec to work the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A would be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to go :( good luck with the exam

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noooooo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sure someone will come in and help you. is it timed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sort of
