Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a1 = 6
an = 3 + 2(an-1),
Substitute n = 2 into the formula
a2 = 3 + 2(a1)
a2 = 3 + 2(6)
a2 = 3+12
a2 = 15
Hence the second term of the sequence is 15
-3/11

Answer:
500 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the pressure applied to the leverage bar be represented by p
Let the distance from the object be represented by d.
The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object.
Written mathematically, we have:

Introducing the constant of proportionality

If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object

Therefore, the relationship between p and d is:

When d=3 Inches

The pressure applied when the distance is 3 inches is 500 pounds.
A short way of writing really large numbers or really small numbers
Ex:
360,000,000 is written in scientific nation as.. 3.6 x 10^8
