Answer:

a_n = 12 - 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is 9.

Term 1 is 9.

Term 2 is 9 - 3.

Term 3 is 9 - 2(3).

Term 4 is 9 - 3(3).

Term 5 is 9 - 4(5)

Notice the pattern in terms 3 through 5. For each term, subtract 1 less than the term number multiplied by 3 from 9.

For term n, you subtract 1 less than n times 3 from 9.

The nth term is 9 - (n - 1) * 3

a_n = 9 - (n - 1) \times 3

Now we simplify the expression on the right side.

a_n = 9 - 3(n - 1)

a_n = 9 - 3n + 3

The expression for the nth term is

a_n = 12 - 3n

Let's see if it works.

n = 1

a_n = 12 - 3(1) = 12 - 3 = 9

n = 2

a_n = 12 - 3(2) = 12 - 6 = 6

n = 3

a_n = 12 - 3(3) = 12 - 9 = 3

n = 4

a_n = 12 - 3(4) = 12 - 12 = 0

n = 5

a_n = 12 - 3(5) = 12 - 15 = -3

n = 6

a_n = 12 - 3(6) = 12 - 18 = -6

As you can see, following this rule fro the nth term, we got the same first siz terms you got above. Our answer is correct.

Answer: a_n = 12 - 3n

Answer:

  £6/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Molly is paid £280 for 35 hours' work, so

  £280/(35 h) = £8/h

In the next 5 hours, her pay jumps to £350, so she earns at a rate of ...

  (£350 -280)/(5 h) = £70/(5 h) = £14/h

The difference in her pay rates is £14/h -£8/h = £6 per hour.

The Moon is about 240,000, or x _____ 10 miles from earth
andriy [413]

Step-by-step explanation:

240,000 = 24 x 10^4

24 followed by 4 zeros = 24 x 104

Just make the number of zeroes be the exponent for 10

24 = 24 x 10^0

240 = 24 x 10^1

2400 = 24 x 10^2

24000 = 24 x 10^3

240,000 = 24 x 10^4 miles
