<span>These are 3 questions and 3 answers.

Part 1.] Indicate the general rule for the arithmetic sequence with A3 = - 4 and A8 = - 29


Answer: option C. An = 6 + (n-1)(-5)

Solution:

1) A3 is the third term
2) A8 is the eigth term
3) The formula for arithmetic sequences is: An = Ao + (n - 1)d

where n is the number of term and d is the difference between two consecutive terms.

=>

4) A8 = Ao + (8 - 1)d = - 29 => Ao + 7d = - 29  ----- [equation 1]

5) A3 = Ao + (3 - 1)d = - 4 => Ao + 2d = - 4 ------- [equation 2]

6) Subtract equation 2 from equation 1 => 7d - 2d = - 29 - (-4) =>

5d = - 29 + 4
5d = - 25
d = - 25/5 = - 5

7) Find Ao using equation 2:

 Ao + 2d = - 4 =>
 Ao = - 4 - 2d = - 4 - 2(- 5) = - 4 + 10 = 6

8) General rule: An = 6 + (n - 1) (-5) <-------- answer: option C.
 

Part 2.] Which of the following is the general term for the sequence m, -m, m, -m, . . .?

Answer: option a. m (-1)^ (n-1).

Justification:

the sign of the coefficient changes for each term.

when n = 1, the sign is positive: (-1)^ (1-1) = 1
when n = 2, the sign is  negative: (-1)^ (2-1) = - 1
when n = 3, the sign is positive: (-1)^ (3-1) = 2

And so on. So, m (-1)^ (n-1) does the work.

Part 3.] Indicate a general rule for the nth term of the sequence when A1 = 5 and r = √3


Answer: option C. An = (5)(√3)^(n-1)

Explanation:

This is a geometric sequence with A1 = 5 and r = √3

The terms of the geometric sequence are:

A1 = 5
A2 = A1 * √3 = 5√3
A3 = A2 * √3 = 5(√3)(√3) = 5(3) = 15
A4 = A3 * √3 = 15√3

So, the general expression is An = 5 * (√3)^(n-1), which is the option C.

Which expression is equivalent to 6(4(6x-4y)-5) ?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

144x - 96y - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute </u>

6(4(6x - 4y) - 5)

6((4 * 6x) + (4 * -4y) - 5)

6(24x - 16y - 5)

<u>Step 2:  Distribute again </u>

<u />(6 * 24x) + (6 * -16y) + (6 * -5)

144x - 96y - 30

Answer:  144x - 96y - 30

Find the equation in slope-intercept form of the line parallel to y = 4x + 23 and passes through the point (2,3).
kupik [55]

Answer: y=4x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of y=4x+23 is:4 m=4  

The parallel line needs to have the same slope of 4

Solve it using the "point-slope" equation of a line:   y− y1 = 2(x − x1)

substitute or put in the point (2,3):

y − (3) = 4(x − 2)

y - 3 = 4x - 8      

 put it in slope intercept form y = mx + b  

y  = 4x − 5
