Answer: Choice D

This basically says "the nth term is found by computing math, aka evaluating some function, based on the (n-1)th term".
As an example, we could have a function that simply squares the input
Let's say we started at 5. It squares to 25 which in turns squares to 625, and so on. Each new term is based on the old term. Namely, we squared the old n-1 term to get the new nth term.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that you are given an isosceles right-angle triangle to solve, since each of its two acute angles measures
. Then such means that the sides opposite to these acute angles (the so called "legs" of this right angle triangle) must also be of the same length (x).
We can then use the Pythagorean theorem that relates the square of the hypotenuse to the addition of the squares of the triangles legs:

We use just the positive root, since we are looking for an actual length. then, the requested side is:

union=( -2,-1,0,1,2,5,7,8) intersection= -1,1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Points (-1,7) and (1,3)
Formula
m = (y2 = y1) / (x2 - x1)
y2 = 7
y1 = 3
x2 = - 1
x1 = 1
Solution
m = (7 - 3) / (-1 - 1)
m = 4 / - 2
m = - 2
Now use either one of the points to get b in y = mx + b
x = 1
y = 3
m = - 2
y = mx + b
3 = -2 (1) + b
3 = -2 + b
b = 3 + 2
b = 5
Equation: y = - 2x + 5
Second question.
y = -2 + 1
Think money. You have a dollar in your pocket, but you owe your mom 2 dollars. Where are you.
y = -2 + 1
y = - 1
