Find The Sum Of The First 18 Terms Of An Arithmetic Whose General Term Is An= 3n-5

Find the sum of the first 18 terms of an Arithmetic whose general term is an= 3n-5

 

ANSWER :

The sum of 18th terms of the aritimetic sequence is 423.

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION :

  • Find the first term.

An = 3n - 5

A1 = 3(1) - 5

A1 = 3 - 5

A1 = -2

  • Find the 18th term.

An = 3n - 5

A18 = 3(18) - 5

A18 = 54 - 5

A18 = 49

  • Only , calculating the sum of 18th terms of the sequence.

Sn = (A1 + An) × n/2

S18 = (-2 + 49) × 18/2

S18 = 47 × 18/2

S18 = 846/2

S18 = 423

Therefore , the sum of 18th terms of the aritimetic sequence is 423.

OK.

OK.

What Is Covalent Bond

What is covalent bond   Good Day... Covalent Bond - is a bond formed between nonmetal and nonmetal which shares the minimum number of its valence electron. Example: H2O (water) - example of compound which are bonded covalently H (hydrogen) = nonmetal O (oxygen) = nonmetal In chemical reaction, atoms may gain, loss, or shares its minimum number of valence electron in order to have the same electron configuration of the nearest noble gas. Hydrogen has 1 electron and wanted to have another 1 electron to have the same electron configuration of Helium (nearest noble gas). Oxygen has 8 electrons and wanted to have another 2 electrons to have the same electron configuration of Neon (nearest noble gas). Oxygen shares its 2 electrons 1 in each hydrogen and each of the two hydrogen will share one electron to oxygen. Sharing electrons will make both oxygen and hydrogen will have the same electron configuration of the nearest noble gas. Hope it helps...=)
