Question

Hi Help me with question 6b) pls

Answer 1

k = 9

Explanation:

Consider the pattern on the right side , that is

`T_(k)` = k(k + 2) + 1 = k² + 2k + 1

Equating

k² + 2k + 1 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

k² + 2k - 99 = 0 ← in standard form

(k + 11)(k - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for k

k + 11 = 0 ⇒ k = - 11

k - 9 = 0 ⇒ k = 9

But k > 0 , then k = 9
