An arithmetic sequence is an ordered list of numbers where the next number is found by adding on to the last number (ex: 2,5,8,11... is a sequence where 3 is added on to find the next number).
The equation for an arithmetic sequence is


is the "n-th" number in the sequence (ex: is the first term in the sequence)
d is the number you add (common difference) to find the next number
The first number in the sequence is 47 so

<span>d=-2 because the question gives you that

♥ To solve find how much this will cost
AFTER the price increases.
♥ Solve:
Multiply the original price as it is by: <span>1.057 (5.7 as a decimal would be 0.057, but as i said to keep the original price, the 1 will keep it there.)
</span>
Final answer: <span>
$195.54</span>
If your question is 25 dollars for the shirt then the ansewer is $26.5 hope this helps.
Answer:
-2 - 5n
Step-by-step explanation:
-7, -12, -17, -22, -27.....
Arithmetic Sequence
first term a = -7
difference = d = -12 - (-7) = -12 + 7 = (-5)
nth term = a + (n-1)d
= -7 + (n-1)*(-5)
= -7 + (-5)*n -1 * (-5)
= -7 - 5n + 5
= -2 - 5n
The first option is correct
