Answer:

B)an = 6 - 4n

Step-by-step explanation:Explicit Formula:

Explicit Formula: an = a1 + (n – 1)d

a1 = 2, d = -4

an = 2 + (n – 1)(-4) = 6 - 4n

Given from the question
arithmetic sequence
a₁ = 2
a₂ = -2
a₃ = -6
and so on..

First, find the difference of the sequence
d = a₂ - a₁
d = -2 - 2
d = -4

Second, built the formula
General formula
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)

plug the numbers to the general formula
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
an = 2 -4(n - 1)
an = 2 - 4n + 4
an = 2 + 4 - 4n
an = 6 - 4n

The answer is option B

Please Help with 31 and 32. I am really confused. Will Select Brainliest Answer.
EastWind [94]

Answer: C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

31 - use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

a = 45

b = 28

plug in values

45^{2} +28^{2} =c^{2} = 2809

c = 53

answer choice C

32 - non linear functions are functions that aren't straight. if a function has anything besides a constant or an x variable to the power of 1, it is not linear

A - this is linear because -18 is a constant

B - this is linear because it only contains constants and an x variable to the power of 1

C - this is linear because it only contains an x variable to the power of 1

D - this is not linear because the x variable is on the bottom of the fraction, so x is to a power of -1

answer choice D
