Answer:
24 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of an arithmetic sequence is the average of the first and last terms, multiplied by the number of terms. The last term is given by ...
an = a1 + (n-1)d
We have a sequence with first term a1 = 2 and common difference d = 2. So the last term is ...
an = 2+ 2(n -1) = 2n
Then the average of first and last terms times the number of terms is ...
Sn = 600 = n(2 + 2n)/2 = n(n+1) . . . . . . close to n²
We can solve the quadratic in n, or we can estimate the value of n as the integer just below the square root of 600.
√600 ≈ 24.5
so we believe n = 24.

Answer:
2,973
Step-by-step explanation:
The black bear population B(t), in the park is modeled by the following function:

Where t is the time(in years) elapsed since the beginning of the study.
We want to determine the black bear population in 25 years time, t=25.

There will be 2,973 black bears in 25 years time.
Answer:
1131 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.
First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:


The weight of 26 pallets would be weight of 18 tires minus weight of unloaded truck.


Now, we will divide 29,400 by 26 to find average weight of one pallet of cargo.



Therefore, the average weight of one pallet of cargo is approximately 1131 pounds.
