The explicit formula for arithmetic sequence is:
an=a+(n-1)d
where:
a=first term
d=common difference
given:
a3=22
a(17)=-20
substituting this in our equation we get:
22=a+(3-1)d
22=a+2d
a=22-2d........i
also:
-20=a+(17-1)d
-20=a+16d.....ii
but substituting i in ii we get:
-20=22-2d+16d
-20-22=14d
-42=14d
d=-3
but:
a=22-2d
a=22-2(-3)
a=28
thus the formula will be:
an=28-3(n-1)
thus the first term will be 28
the 2nd term will be:
a2=28-3(2-1)
a2=25
the 3rd term will be:
a3=28-3(3-1)
a3=28-6
a3=22
a4=28-3(4-1)
a4=28-9
a4=15
a5=28-3(5-1)
a5=28-3(4)
a5=28-12
a5=15
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Hey there!</em>
Well given that,
a = 25
b = 3
10(25) - 5(3)
250 - 15
= 235
<em>Hope this helps :)</em>
80
<span>Using the rule of 3, 60x100% =6000(obviously) and 6000/75 = 80</span>
I cant see the question 1 sorry:(
2. x=71(base angle, isos. triangle)
3. x=45 (same reason as the above)
4. the third one
Answer:
Negative
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is negative since as x increases, y decreases.
