The explicit formula for arithmetic sequence is:
an=a+(n-1)d
where:
a=first term
d=common difference
given:
a3=22
a(17)=-20
substituting this in our equation we get:
22=a+(3-1)d
22=a+2d
a=22-2d........i
also:
-20=a+(17-1)d
-20=a+16d.....ii
but substituting i in ii we get:
-20=22-2d+16d
-20-22=14d
-42=14d
d=-3
but:
a=22-2d
a=22-2(-3)
a=28
thus the formula will be:
an=28-3(n-1)
thus the first term will be 28
the 2nd term will be:
a2=28-3(2-1)
a2=25
the 3rd term will be:
a3=28-3(3-1)
a3=28-6
a3=22
a4=28-3(4-1)
a4=28-9
a4=15
a5=28-3(5-1)
a5=28-3(4)
a5=28-12
a5=15
Answer is a. (2,2)
Because for it to be a function each x value can only have one y value. And in the chart it says x is 2 and 8
625/1000= 0.625
100/625= 0.16
5/8= 0.625
125/200= 0.625
20/125= 0.16
Lets get common fractions between 1/10 and 1/4, so we now have the fractions 2/20 and 5/20. After we add them we have 7/20. If 35% (7/20) of the points scored is 21, then total points scored is 60. (21 / .35)
