Answer:

a_n=42n-621

Step-by-step explanation:

This is arithmetic sequence so you should go to linear equations in your head.

Think of the question asking you to find the equation of line going through the points:

(14,-33) and (15,9).

First, let's find the slope.

You need to compute y's change over x's change.

The way I like to do that is line up the points vertically, subtract them, and then put 2nd difference over first.

Like this:

(  15  ,   9)

-(  14  ,  -33)

------------------

   1         42

So the slope is 42/1=42.

(The slope is our common difference.)

Now point slope form is:

y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point you know on the line.

So we have m=42 and (x1,y1)=(15,9).  (You could have chose the other point.)

y-9=42(x-15)

I'm going to put in slope-intercept form.  Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y-9=42(x-15)

Solve for y by adding 9 on both sides:

y=42(x-15)+9

Distribute 42 to terms in the ( ) :

y=42x-42(15)+9

y=42x-630+9

y=42x-621

So we can which back to n now:

a_n=42n-621

Answer:

   ACBD-BDAC

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to compare the values of each of the functions when h=1. On the graphs, find 1 on the horizontal axis, then read the value of the function at that point from the vertical axis.

For the equations, the value for h=1 will be its coefficient in the equation.

__

1) a: 80,b: 50, c: 75, d: 30

Fastest to slowest is ACBD.

__

2) a: 4, b: 2, c: 8, d: 3

Slowest to fastest is BDAC

__

The code is these lists, separated by a dash: ACBD-BDAC.
