Common differnce
an=a1+d(n-1)
d=common difference
a1=first term
so

given

common difernce is -3 and first term is 7
an=7-3(n-1)
14th term
a14=7-3(14-1)
a14=7-3(13)
a14=7-39
a14=-32

the 14th term is -32
A is answer

I got A, -32, but it has been awhile since I have learned this in my math class. You might want to wait for someone else to verify this answer.

Describe the transformation required to obtain the graph of the given function from the basic trigonometric graph.

Alik [6]

Answer:

Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

If the graph of the function $y=cf(x) +b$ represents the transformations made to the graph of $y= f(x)$ then, by definition:

If $0$ then the graph is compressed vertically by a factor c.

If $|c| > 1$ then the graph is stretched vertically by a factor c.

If $c$ then the graph is reflected on the x axis.

If $b> 0$ the graph moves vertically upwards.

If $b$ the graph moves vertically down

In this problem we have the function $y=cscx -9$ and our parent function is $y = cscx$

therefore it is true that $c =1$ and $b =-9 < 0$

Therefore the graph of $y=cscx$ is not stretched vertically and is not reflected. however as $b$ then the graph moves vertically 9 units down. Observe the image
