Answer: option D) An = 3an - 9a
Justification:
1) That is an arithmetic sequence which you prove by determining the difference between two consecutive terms (which shall be constant if it indeed is an arithmetic sequence):
2)
Second term - first term = -3a - (-6a) = -3a + 6a = 3a
Third term - second term = 0a - (-3a) = 3a
Fourth term - third term = 3a - 0a = 3a
Fith term - fourth term = 6a - 3a = 3a
Therefore, it is an arithmetic sequence with difference d = 3a.
3) the general rule for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula:
An = Ao + d (n - 1)
Where Ao = -6a and d, as determined above, is 3a
=> An = -6a + 3a (n - 1)
Expand the parenthesis (distributive property) =>
An = -6a + 3an - 3a = -9a + 3an = 3an - 9a = option D. <------- answer.
Answer:
A horizontal line has a gradient = 0 and only has a y-intercept.
In the standard form this would mean that
m
=0, and c
=5 So, y =
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The z-statistic can be calculated as the difference in the population mean and sample mean divided by the standard error. The standard error can be calculated as the standard deviation divided by square root of sample size. The standard error:
SE = 12/ sqrt(20) = 2.68
The z-statistic: (195 -208) 2.68 = -4.86
Equation 1 :
| 5x - 6 | = -41.....no solution because an absolute vlue cannot equal a negative number
equation 2 :
| 7x + 13 | = 27...2 solutions
C. equation 2 has more solutions then equation 1.
