It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet. Please help

The set of natural numbers is the set of all positive integers, then this set is:

{1, 2, 3, ...}

and the 24th letter of the alphabet is x

Now we want to write the expression given in the sentence "It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"

We can "break" this in parts, so it is easier to understand.

Then:

"...the sum of the first 3 natural numbers..."

is:

1 + 2 + 3

Then:

"...the sum of the first 3 natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"

This can be written as:

(1 + 2 + 3) + x

Now we can analyze the complete sentence:

"It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"

This is equal to the expression we found above plus one, then we can write this as:

[(1 + 2 + 3) + x] + 1

[6 + x] + 1

6 + x + 1

7 + x

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
