What is the explicit formula for this sequence? −7, −4, −1, 2, 5, …
1 answer:
The explicit formula for the sequence is 3n -10
<h3>What is an Arithmetic Sequence ?</h3>An arithmetic sequence is a series of terms which have common difference between its consecutive numbers.
The sequence given is
−7, −4, −1, 2, 5, …
The common difference between each term is d =3
-4-(-7) = 3
-1-(-4) =3
The nth term for a sequence is given by
Here a is the first term = -7
n is the no. of terms = n
d is the common difference = 3
Therefore the equation will be
= -7 +3n -3
= 3n -10
Therefore the explicit formula for the sequence is 3n -10 .

Answer:
A: You plot these points (-3,4) (-3,6) (-5,6) (-7,4)
B: The transformation would be described as a reflection over the y axis
C: The transformation does result in a congruent figure because the shape doesn't change in size or shape and in length or width
Step-by-step explanation:
So our plots from the figure are: (3,4) (3,6) (5,6) (7,4)
So using the rule (x, y) → (-x, y) are new points would be:
(-3,4)
(-3,6)
(-5,6)
(-7,4)
This rule (x, y) → (-x, y) is used for the type of transformation that is a reflection but over the y axis.
