The sequence is defined as

an = 3an - 1 + 7

This means that

a2 = 3(a(2 - 1) + 7

a2 = 3a1 + 7

From the information given ,

a1 = - 4

Thus,

a2 = 3 * - 4 + 7 = - 12 + 7

a2 = - 5

a3 = 3(a(3 - 1) + 7

a3 = 3a2 + 7

a3 = 3 * - 5 + 7 = - 15 + 7

a3 = - 8

a4 = 3(a(4 - 1) + 7

a4 = 3a3 + 7

a4 = 3 * - 8 + 7 = - 24 + 7

a4 = - 17

Thus, the first four terms of the sequence are

- 4, - 5, -

LABC measures 90° and ZABD measures<br> 25. What is the measurement of ZDBC?
makkiz [27]

Answer: The measurement of angle DBC is 65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Line BD splits ABC into two angles ABD and DBC.

If ABC is 90 then the measures of ABD + DBC will be 90. Since we know the measure of ABD we can make this equation and solve it

90=25+x\\90-25=25+x-25\\65=x
