tnguyen,
the sum of the first n even integers is calucated by using n(n+1). therefore, the sum of teh first 20 even integers is 20 (20+1) or 20(21) =420

#3:
_1__ 2__ 3__ 4__ 5__ 6__
4 10 18 28 40 54
then you factor which results with
4*1 5*2 6*3 7*4 8*5
then the nth term is:
n(n+3)
50(50+3)
50(53)
2650

7) find the 50th term
5, 40/3, 77/3, 42, 187/3
n is 2n+1(3n+2)/3
Answer: 84

August 27, 2007 at 5:29 PM
yeah for tnguyen,
all you do is factor the numbers, then you will find the pattern "2n" fot the first set of numbers then just "n" for the second then just make them fit with the pattern in the factored numbers

For number nine, you just have to find the first difference and then find the difference of the differences and find the N value...and then just plug 50 into it.

By

August 27, 2007 at 8:03 PM
tennis_player_pedro
for number 9
just find the difference of the numbers. Then you have to find the differences of those numbers and then just factor the values
remeber thats how you know what the N value is because you use the two-different colored numbers to find the relationship between the term and the factors of the values..
And then just plug 50in for N
By
D.Herrera, At

Bryan a.k.a fell in a well
the pattern is you take the number and multiply it by -2. 64 x -2 is the answer

when we have to make 2 term & value charts. when we factor. to get the 2nd part.. do we multiply to -- get the green [ or w/e colored ] FACTORED number?. or original number?

...Wooowwies. I still remember my password. Ah-whiicka-wiicka-whaat!
Heeey, everybody. XD
'Tis Mary! I just wanted to give a shout-out so you know who I am. I'm a Sophomore, a Chan-Survivor, and a corny-joke and chocolate o'holic. I like long walks on the beach--
...Kidding! XD Ahahaha! It's wonderful to see that the blog's actually being used. You guys should feel lucky Ms.Chan sets these babies up--they do have a reason, you know. Imagine how much easier classes would be if every teacher gave you the opportunity to discuss homework after school.
...Ooh, and about number eleven. *grin* Don't worry, I feel your pain. Or at least I did until two minutes ago--*laugh!* I just had an epiphany.
For anyone still struggling, don't stress yourself out on that one little problem. Trust me. Once you figure it out, you'll smack yourself on the forehead.
If you need a clue or two about number eleven, even though Ms. Chan told you what you needed to know, just comment while I'm still procrastinating on Chemistry and Spanish homework. *snerk* XD I'd be happy to give you some advice.
If not, come stalk Chen and I at the library tomorrow! :D I'll beee there, too! Goodnight, everyone. Rest well.
Sincerely,
--Mary.
P.S. Hiiii, Ms. Chan! *hughug* Chen just gave me a call about a half-hour ago. I'm sorry I didn't know about the tutoring sessions sooner. I'll see you soon! I looove yoooou~. XD

Hey, Sean.
If you're still awake, here's a little hint for you. C: I'm sorry I took so long [I decided to stop procrastinating].
how do you get rid of the negatives?
I think you've got your goal mixed up a bit there. You're not trying to get rid of the negatives. There is a pattern within the terms--having negatives are perfectly acceptable, so you don't have to kick them to the curb. XD It's just finding the pattern that's a doozey.
The first thing I suggest is to, for example, in number five, start factoring before the negative number. And in number eight and nine, start factoring after the negative integers and zero. If you can figure out the rest of the pattern, you can figure out those last few as well. :D
Let's do a problem together?
I see a lot of people are frustrated with number nine.
...If you want to talk about it, come to tutoring tomorrow. >:D Now, now, I'm not trying to be mean, but hey. You'll feel better once you figure it out for yourself. [[Saxelrod is on the right track, though. *high-five!*]]
So number five, yes?
Number Five:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|-3 | 8 |25 |48 |77 |112|
Factor out these lovelies. Start from number eight if you can't figure out negative-three off the bat.
Let's see, factors for eight.
Well, y'got 1x8. 2x4. Anything else besides -1x-8, -2x-4, mixed and matched hubblah-blubblah? No? Well, tallyho!
Now for twenty-five. 1x25. You also have 5x5.
Forty-eight: 1x48, 2x24, 3x16, 4x12, 8x6...woahwoah! Wait. Check it out!
8: 2x4
25: 5x5
48: 8x6
The italicized factors have a difference of three. The bold have a difference of one. Eeeeh? XD Enough information to blaze through number five, right? So go on and find the pattern for the rest of the terms, get your nth term rule, and find the fiftieth term. :D
To add on to Saxelrod, yes. Everyone, you will have to double the factors, so don't forget to divide your rule over two in the end. XD
Sincerely,
--Mary.
