= 9n + 63
generate the first few terms using the recursive equation
f(1) = 72
f(2) = 72 + 9 = 81
f(3) = 81 + 9 = 90
f(4) = 90 + 9 = 99
the sequence is 72, 81, 90, 99, .....
This is an arithmetic sequence whose n th term formula is
= + (n - 1 )d
where is the first term and d the common difference
d = 99 - 90 = 90 - 81 = 81 - 72 = 9 and = 72
= 72 + 9(n - 1) = 72 + 9n - 9 = 9n + 63 ← explicit formula
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- The equation of the line in the slope intercept form is:
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line
- Let's choose two points of the line: (8,-1) and (-4,-4).
- You must calculate the slope of the line as following:
- As you can see in the graph attached, the line intersects the y-axis at -3, then b=-3.
- Substituting values into the equation of the line, you obtain:
8x-4=-32 so thats an equation that you can use
