A grocer stacks oranges in a four-sided pyramid that is 7 layers high. How many oranges are in the pile?

1 answer:

4 0

Short Answer D
P(1) = 1(1+1)(2*1 + 1)/6
P(1) = 1(2)(2 +1) / 6
P(1) = 1(2)(3)/6
P(1) = 1

P(2) = 2(2+1)(2*2 + 1) / 6
P(2) = 2(3)(5) / 6
P(2) = 5 So this formula is adding as it goes along. To Find the Total all we need do is use the formula to calculate P(1) to P(7)

P(7) = 7*(7 + 1)(2*7 + 1)/6
P(7) = 7 * 8 * 15 / 6
P(7) = 7 * 4 * 5
P(7) = 140 <<<< Answer

$Given : \frac{(x^\frac{2}{5})^9\;.\;(x^\frac{-4}{15})}{x^\frac{1}{3}}$

$\implies {(x^\frac{18}{5})\;.\; (x^\frac{-4}{15})}\;.\;(x^\frac{-1}{3})$

$\implies x^(^\frac{18}{5} ^-^\frac{4}{15}^-^\frac{1}{3}^)$

$\implies x^(^(^\frac{54 - 4}{15}^)^-^\frac{1}{3}^) = x^(^(^\frac{50}{15}^)^-^\frac{1}{3}^) = x^(^(^\frac{10}{3}^)^-^\frac{1}{3}^) = x^(^\frac{9}{3}^) = x^3$
