Explicit Formula
Just in case you don't know what this is, the explicit formula is the formula that solves for any term in the series without necessarily knowing what came before the term you are solving.
<em><u>Givens</u></em>
d = t_(n + 1) - t_n You can take any term and the next term for this part of the formula
d = t_3 - t_2
t_3 = 1
t_2 = -7
d = 1 - - 7 = 8
a = -15
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = a + (n - 1)*d
t_n = -15 + (n - 1)*8
For example find the 5th term.
t_5 = - 15 + (5 - 1)*8
t_5 = - 15 + 4 *8
t_5 = -15 + 32
t_5 = 17 Which is what you have.
Recursive Formula
Computers really like this formula. They use it in what is called a subroutine and they pass values from one part of the program to a subroutine which evaluates the given and sends the result back. I'm telling you all this so you see why you are doing it. The disadvantage of it for humans is that you must know the preceding term to use the recursive formula.
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = t_(n - 1) + d
<em><u>Example</u></em>
t_6 = t_(6 - 1) + d
t_6 = t_5 + 8
t_6 = 17 + 8
t_6 = 25
You can check this by using the explicit formula.
*im sorry but I cant see the bottom number but I'll consider it as x
tan 45° = 3/x
x = 3/tan45
x is 3
hope this helps :)
Answer:
-3x + y = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
m = 3/1 = 3
1 = 15 + b
b = -14
Y = 3x - 14
-3x + y = -14
Answer:
The answer to your question is 13 u²
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the small triangle is surrounded by right triangles so we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the lengths of the small triangle
AD² = 3² + 2²
Simplify
AD² = 9 + 4
AD² = 13
AD = 
Find the area of the square
Area = side x side
Area = AD x AD
Area = 
Area = 13 u²
