What is the general term equation, a_n , for the arithmetic sequence 5, 1,–3, –7…and what is the 21st term of this sequence?

The difference between each term is -4, so we know that part of the general term is -4n. Now we need to adjust -4n so at u1 it is 5. Therefore -4+x=5 and we rearrange to see x is 9.

Therefore our general sequence is:
\boxed{u_n=-4n+9}

Now we can substitute easily into the second equation with the common difference of 4:
u_n=u_1+(n-1)d \\ u_{21}=5+(21-1)*-4 = 5-80 \\ \boxed{u_{21}=-75}

How do you determine the value of isosceles triangles?
amid [387]

There's really no such thing as the value of a triangle. 

Every triangle has three sides, three angles, a base, a height, and an area,
and there could be problems that ask us to find any one of those. 

Whatever we need to find, the process is always the same: 

-- Take the information that's given.

-- Gather up everything you can remember that talks about a relationship
between what you're given and what you need to find.

-- Use them together to find the missing value.

Determine the equation of the circle graphed below. <br><br> ( please help me )
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Equation : \\(x+3)^2 + ( y -2)^2 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

For standard form the circle's equation we need the centre of the circle and the radius.

Step 1: <em><u>Find the centre</u></em>

If the centre is not given find the end points of the diameter

and then find the mid point.

Let the end points of the diameter be : ( - 3 , 8 ) and ( -3 , -4 )

The mid-point of the diameter is :

                        Mid-point = (\frac{-3 + - 3}{2}, \frac{-4+8}{2}) =  (-3, 2)

Therefore, centre of the circle = ( -3 , 2 )

Step 2 : <u>Find radius</u>

<u></u>Radius = \frac{Diameter }{2}<u></u>

Diameter is the distance between the end points ( -3 , 8) and ( -3 , -4 )

That is ,

 Diameter = \sqrt{(-3-(-3))^2 + ( -4 -8)^2}\\

                 = \sqrt{(-3 + 3)^2 + (-12)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{0 + 144}\\\\=12

Therefore ,

       Radius = \frac{12}{2} = 6

Step 3 : <u>Equation of the circle</u>

Standard equation of the circle with centre ( h ,k )

and radius ,r is :

       (x - h)^2+(y -k)^2 = r^2

Therefore, the equation of the circle with centre ( -3, 2)

and radius = 6 is :

    (x - (-3))^2 +  (y - 2)^2 = 6^2\\\\(x + 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 36
