Answer: Choice D
=====================================================
Explanation:
The left portion is the interval (-∞, -2)
This is a shorthand way of saying
The curved parenthesis says "do not include this endpoint as part of the solution set". Note the open hole at x = -2 in the diagram.
In contrast, the value x = 4 is included (due to the filled in circle), so we use a square bracket for this endpoint. Therefore, the right-hand portion is represented by [4, ∞) which translates to
Negative and positive infinity will always use a parenthesis, and never a square bracket. This is because we can only approach infinity but never reach it, so we cannot include it as an endpoint.
All of this builds up to the full interval notation to be
The only square bracket is near the 4; everything else is a curved parenthesis. This is why choice D is the final answer.
Answer:
True.
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit form for an arithmetic sequence is:
where is the first term and
is the common difference.
The common difference here is 2 because the y's are going up by 2 while the x's are going up by 1.
Yes, the common difference is the slope.
So we have d=2.
The first term is 9.5 because that is what happens when x=1.
x is n.
y is .
So the answer is true.

You can also verify by plugging in numbers for n and see if you get the outputs mentioned in the pairs given:
Let n=1:
Let n=2:
Let n=3:
Let n=4:
Let n=5:
Let n=6:
We have confirmed that we get all 6 of the mentioned points using the equation they gave.
