<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.

lesya [120]

Answer:

The Slope= -13/3

y-intercept= (0,5/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

m= change in y/change in x

m= y2-y1/x2-x1

m=6-(-7)/ -1-(2)

m=-13/3

A map has a scale of 1m represents 2 km. write this scale as a ratio in its simplest form
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.
