What is the general term equation, an, for the arithmetic sequence 5, 1, −3, −7, . . . , and what is the 21st term of this seque

nce?
Hint: an = a1 + d(n − 1), where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

an = 17 − 4n, a21 = −67
an = 17 + 4n, a21 = 101
an = 13 − 4n, a21 = −71
an = 9 − 4n, a21 = −75

The common difference, d, can be determined by subtracting the two consecutive values:

1 - 5 = -4
-3 - 1 = -4
-7 - -3 = -4

Then, using the equation:

an = a1+ d(n-1)
a_21 = 5 + (-4)(21 - 1)
a_21 = -75

The answer is letter D. I hope I was able to help you. Have a good day!

What is the slope of this ?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Essentially, slope is rise/run. Rise is how many units up the graph, and run is how far to the left or right it goes. Rise will be negative if it's going down, and run will be negative if it's going left. There's two ways to find the slope in this case.

1. Stick to the more visual aspect of it, and count how many units up from one point to the next point. Point (1,2) is 2 units up from point (0,0). Then you count how many units right or left it goes. In this case, it's 1 towards the right. This means the rise/run comes out to be 2/1, which means the slope=2.

2. Look at the equations. y=mx+b is the linear format for these lines. y is the y coordinate, m is the slope, x is the x coordinate, and b is the y intercept (the point where x=0). These two lines have shared slope values, which means the slope for both of them is 2.

A mattress store is having a sale all mattresses are 30% of. Nate wants to know the sale price of a mattress that is regularly $
koban [17]

Answer: $700

Step-by-step explanation:

The store is selling at 30% off.

If a mattress is $1,000, first find out what 30% of $1,000 is:

= 1,000 * 30%

= $300

The store is selling 30% off, this means that they are reducing the price by 30%:

= 1,000 - 300

= $700

A prism is completely filled with 96 cubes that have edge length of 1/2 cm.
ch4aika [34]
I know this is kinda late, but...

You can solve this easily as long as you remember how to find the volume of a cube. v=a^3, when a means length. The length is 1/2 cm, or .5 cm.
 So, v+.5^3, which equals .125 cm. Each cube has a that volume. Now, multiply that by how many actual cubes there are, 96.

96 * .125 = 12

A graph represents the feasible region for the system: y is less than or equal to 2x, x + y is greater than or equal to 45, and
atroni [7]
Notation. x  y means x is less than or equal to y. x y means x is greater than or equal to y. x < y means x is less than y. x > y means x is greater than y. The last two inequalities are called strict inequalities. Our focus will be on the nonstrict inequalities. Algebra of Inequalities Suppose x + 3 < 8. Addition works like for equations: x + 6 < 11 (added 3 to each side). Subtraction works like for equations: x + 2 < 7 (subtracted 4 from each side). Multiplication and division by positive numbers work like for equations: 2x + 12 < 22 =) x + 6 < 11 (each side is divided by 2 or multiplied by 1 2 ). 59 60 4. LINEAR PROGRAMMING Multiplication and division by negative numbers changes the direction of the inequality sign: 2x + 12 < 22 =) x 6 > 11 (each side is divided by -2 or multiplied by 1 2 ). Example. For 3x 4y and 24 there are 3 possibilities: 3x 4y = 24 3x 4y < 24 3x 4y > 24 4y = 3x + 24 4y < 3x + 24 4y > 3x + 24 y = 3 4x 6 y > 3 4x 6 y < 3 4x 6 The three solution sets above are disjoint (do not intersect or overlap), and their graphs fill up the plane. We are familiar with the graph of the linear equation. The graph of one inequality is all the points on one side of the line, the graph of the other all the points on the other side of the line. To determine which side for an inequality, choose a test point not on the line (such as (0, 0) if the line does not pass through the origin). Substitute this point into the linear inequality. For a true statement, the solution region is the side of the line that the test point is on; for a false statement, it is the other side.
