Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answers:
The first five terms are: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23
This is a linear sequence
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
Plug in n = 1 to get the first term
E(n) = 5*n-2
E(1) = 5*1-2
E(1) = 3
So 3 is the first term
Do the same for n = 2 to get the second term
E(n) = 5*n-2
E(2) = 5*2-2
E(2) = 8
So 8 is the second term
And again for n = 3
E(n) = 5*n-2
E(3) = 5*3-2
E(3) = 13
This means 13 is the third term
And again for n = 4
E(n) = 5*n-2
E(4) = 5*4-2
E(4) = 18
This means 18 is the fourth term
Finally, repeat for n = 5
E(n) = 5*n-2
E(5) = 5*5 - 2
E(5) = 23
So 23 is the fifth term
This sequence is linear because we're incrementing by the same amount each time. In this case, we're adding 5 each time for the sequence 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, and so on.
12 pounds multiplied by 31 as there are 31 days in January.
So she will need 372 pounds.
You would have to divide 14588 by 313, so on average about 46-47 books.
