Answer:

102.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a_38 = -5

difference d= -2.9

We use general formula

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

WE make the formula for a_38 th term

Plug in 38 for n

a_{38} = a_1 + (38-1)d

Now plug in -2.9 for d and -5 for a_38

-5 = a_1 + (38-1)(-2.9)

-5 = a_1 - 107.3

Now add 107.3 on both sides

102.3 = a_1

option A is correct

Consider the square root function f(x) = sqrt x + 2 + 1 to complete the table of values below. find each missing value and then
Scrat [10]

Given the function :

f(x)=\sqrt[]{x+2}+1

We need to find each missing value

Given x = -3 , -2 , -1 , 2 , 7

So, substitute with each value of x to find the corresponding value of f(x)

x=-3\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-3+2}+1=\sqrt[]{-1}+1

So, there is no value for f(x) at x = -3 (the function undefined because the square root of -1)

\begin{gathered} x=-2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{0}+1=0+1=1 \\  \\ x=-1\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-1+2}+1=\sqrt[]{1}+1=1+1=2 \\  \\ x=2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{4}+1=2+1=3 \\  \\ x=7\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{7+2}+1=\sqrt[]{9}+1=3+1=4 \end{gathered}

the graph of the function and the points will be as shown in the following image :
