Melissa has started training for a race. The first time she trains, she bikes 5 miles. Each subsequent time she trains, she bikes 0.5 mile farther than she did the previous time.
a) Use summation notation to write an arithmetic series to represent the total distance Melissa has biked
after she has trained n times. (2 points)
b) Use the formula for a partial sum of the series you wrote in part a, above, to answer this question: What
is the least number of times Melissa must bike for her total distance biked during training to exceed 60
miles? (3 points)

the correct answer is 828.07

answer: answer: d) v= 1/6 bh  

step-by-step explanation:

since according to the given question,   a pyramid is placed inside a prism.

step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 3*(8(3^(x−2))+2)

g(x) = 24 (3^(x-2) )+6

the factor is 2

step-by-step explanation:

let f(x)=8(3^(x−2)+2)

to stretch a graph by 3, it would be 3f(x)

g(x) =3f(x)

g(x) = 3*(8(3^(x−2))+2)

g(x) = 24 (3^(x-2) )+6

x     −2     0     2     4     6

f(x) 1/64 1/16   1/4     1     4

1/64 * z * z = 1/16

i multiplies by z twice because it its 2 steps from -2 to 0

1/64 z^2 = 1/16

multiply by 64 to clear the fraction on the left side

1/4 * 64 z^2 =1/16 *64

z^2 = 4

take the square root of each side

sqrt(z^2) = ±sqrt(4)

z = ±2  

we are multiplying by 2 each time.
