Answer:

Shyla's have not done any mistake.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that, The explicit rule for the series 0, 1, 2, 3, ... is given by $a_n = n - 1$ .

Shyla's attempt to find the fifth term in the sequence is shown below:

i.e. substitute n=5

$a_5 = 5 - 1=4$

Looking at the sequence, the 4th number would be 3.

According to explicit rule the fourth term is

$a_4 =4-1=3$

Which is correct.

Similarly all the terms will get in this way.

So, Shyla's have not done any mistake.

Find the point on the x-axis that is equidistant from the points (−3,−1) and (1,6)

Klio2033 [76]

well, we'll be using the distance formula twice here.

that point, is on the x-axis, what's the value of "y" at the x-axis? well y = 0, since it's way down at the 0 level, so the point must be (x , 0).

the distance then from (x,0) to (-3,-1) is the same distance as from (x,0) to 1,6).

$\bf \begin{array}{rcllll} \stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (-3,-1)}}{\sqrt{(-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2}}&=&\stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (1,6)}}{\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2}} \\\\\\ (-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2&=&(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2 \\\\\\ 9+6x+x^2+1&=&1-2x+x^2+36 \\\\\\ x^2+6x+10&=&x^2-2x+37 \end{array} \\\\\\ 6x+10=-2x+37\implies 8x+10=37\implies 8x=27 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{27}{8}\implies x = 3\frac{3}{8}~\hfill \blacktriangleright \left( 3\frac{3}{8}~,~0 \right) \blacktriangleleft$
