NEED AN A !!!!!!!! MATH HELP!!!!!!!
2 answers:
Plug n = 1 into the original formula to get
an = 14 - 9n
a1 = 14 - 9*1
a1 = 5
So the first term is 5
The common difference is -9 as this is the slope in front of the n term. This means each term is going down by 9 each time. Notice the second term is
an = 14-9n
a2 = 14-9*2
a2 = -4
and so on...
To get the nth term, we subtract 9 from the (n-1)st term
That's the same as saying
So all together, the rule is
Final Answer: Choice B

Answer:
where is the number of laptops, and
is the year.
in 2017:
Step-by-step explanation:
I will define the variable as the number of years that passed since 2007.
Since the school buys 20 lapts each year, after a number of years, the school will have
more laptops.
and thus, since the school starts with 31 laptops, the equation to model this situation is
where is the number of laptops.
since x is the number of years that have passed since 2007, it can be represented like this:
where can be any year, so the equation to model the situation using the year:
and this way we can find the number of laptos at the end of 2017:
and
