Answer:
f(n) = 2n - 3 describes the arithmetic sequence,
-1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13,.......
Step-by-step explanation:
Function:
A function is like a machine that gives an output for a given input.
A function has an independent variable which is called the input of the function.
The output for a given input is called the dependent variable.
Here. 'n' is the independent variable
f(n) is the function dependent variable i.e function of n as an output.
For Arithmetic sequence
Where
= nth number of the sequence.
a₁ = First term
d = common difference = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = so on
For a function which describes Arithmetic sequence,
a₁ = -1
d = 1 - -1 =2
∴ f(n) = a₁ + (n -1 )d
substituting the values we get
∴ f(n) = -1 +(n-1)2
using distributive property
∴ f(n) = - 1 + 2n - 2
∴ f(n) = 2n - 3 ..........is the required function
Answer:
5y = x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Equation of the line ;
y = -5x + 1
Coordinates = (2, -1)
Find the equation of a line perpendicular;
Solution:
A line perpendicular to y = -5x + 1 will have slope that is a negative inverse of the given one.
Equation of a straight line is expressed as;
y = mx + c
y and x are the coordinates
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
So, the slope of the new line perpendicular is ;
Now let us find the y-intercept of the new line;
x = -1 and y = 2
2 = x (-1) + c
c = 2 + =
The equation of the new line is;
y = x +
or multiply through by 5;
5y = x + 11
