Competition Maths Questions – Series and Sequences?

Hi all!
I’ve got some homework from a maths class which I attend that’s got me stumped. I know the basics about series and sequences, but I can’t seem to figure how to work these two questions out.
Full solutions would be helpful!
Question 1:
The sum of the first x terms of a particular sequence is given by an expression ax^2 + bx + c, where x is any positive integer and a, b and c are constants. Prove that the sequence is arithmetic.

Question 2.
The sum of n distinct numbers in ascending order is k. It is known that 53 is one of these numbers, and a is the smallest and 79 is the largest. If 53 is taken out, then the rest of the n-1 numbers form an arithmetic sequence. The values of n and a are given by the equation (n-1)(a+p) = q, where p and q are constants. Find the numerical values of p and find q in terms of k.

Thanks in advance!

Hint for Question 1:

If S(x) is the sum of the first x terms of a sequence, then the xth term is given by S(x) – S(x-1).

Resource Competition


Resource Competition


$317.03


As one of the most quantitative of ecological subdisciplines, resource competition is an important, central area of ecology. Recently research into this area has increased dramatically and resource competition models have become more complex. The characterisation of this phenomenon is therefore the aim of this book. Resource Competition seeks to identify the unifying principles emerging from experimental and theoretical approaches as well as the differences between organisms, illustrating that greater knowledge of resource competition will benefit human and environmental welfare. This book will serve as an indispensable guide to ecologists, evolutionary biologists and environmental managers, and all those interested in resource competition as an emerging discipline.

Regional Competition


Regional Competition


$285.17


Many parts of the world are currently experiencing the outcome of processes of economic integration, globalization and transformation. Technological advances in telecommunications and in transport facilities have opened up new possibilities for contracts and exchanges among regions. External effects among regions have increased in importance. As a result, competition among regions has intensified. Except some pioneering work by regional scientists and scholars of public finance and economics, the phenomenon of regional competition has yet to attract the attention it warrants, despite its importance for policymaking. The present volume is intended to remedy this neglect by providing highlevel contributions to the three main topics of the book, the theory of regional competition, methods of analysis of regional competition and policies of regional competition.
