Answer:

The explicit formula for the given expression is 2 n - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the first term of sequence = -1

The common difference = 2

In a ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION:

The nth term of a sequence is given as

a(n) = a + (n-1) d

⇒ Here, a(n) = -1 + (n-1)(2)

= -1 + 2n -2

= 2n - 3

or, a(n) = 2n - 3

Hence, the explicit formula for the given expression is 2n - 3.

In Santana's last basketball game he made a total of 22 baskets. Santana

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Santana scored 12 2-point baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Santana converted 22 baskets in his last basketball game, totaling 54 points at the end of the game, and that in basketball the baskets are worth 2 and 3 points, to determine the number of baskets of each value that Santana converted, the following logic reasoning must be done:

If all the baskets were 2 points, the total of points made would have been 44 (22 x 2). Now, there are 10 more points, which are attributable to the 3-point baskets (that is, each extra point is a 3-point basket). Therefore, since 54 minus 44 equals 10, Santana made 10 3-point baskets and 12 2-point baskets.

This is verified through the following calculation:

(10 x 3) + (12 x 2) = X

30 + 24 = X

54 = X
