Answer:
-14
Step-by-step explanation:
You've got a(1)=20
a(1) means a(n) when n=1
the sequence is telling you to take the previous value of a(n), which is a(n-1) and subtract 17
then:
a(2) = a(1)-17 = 20 - 17 = 3
a(3) = a(2) - 17 = 3-17 = -14
I got 41.4 lbs if you round to the nearest tenths
T is more than -4. Remember that -4 is not included.
Look at your picture
notice the coordinates for the center of the circle, the x,y or h,k values
notice how long the radius is
thus
