Answer:
a₂ = - 28.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
here a₁ = - 45 and given a₃ = - 12 , then
a₁ + 2d = - 12 , that is
- 45 + 2d = - 12 ( add 45 to both sides )
2d = 33 ( divide both sides by 2 )
d = 16.5
Then
a₂ = a₁ + d = - 45 + 16.5 = - 28.5
d=rt
9.50mi/hr(.50 for half hour) *1.75(.75 because 3/4 equals that) =distance
=16.625
=16.63
how does that sound?
Answer:
A tangent line touches a curve at one point and has the same slope as the curve at that point. A secant line intersects at 2 or more points and has a slope equal to the average rate of change between those points.
In step 2 she made a mistake of not having a positive sign for 3x because if you multiply -3 and -x that would end up as +3x
