An arithmetic sequence is a sequence with a constant

<span> increase or decrease also known as the </span>constant difference

In the sequence 10, 40, 70, 100, ….

The constant difference between the terms is 30

A recursive formula for a sequence would be:

a1= first term in the sequence

an = term you are trying to find

an-1 = previous term in the sequence

d = constant difference

Explicit Formulas: 

A formula that allows you to find the nth term of the sequence by substituting known values in the expression.

Formula : an = a1 + d( n - 1)

a1= first term in the sequence

an = current term in the sequence

d = constant difference

n = term number

Solution: 

<span>Write the explicit formula of the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 ….</span>

Formula for explicit term:

an = ___ + ___( n - 1)

Simplify: an = ___ + ___n

In the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, ….

To find the 11th<span> term explicitly, I plug in the into the formula I just made:  </span>

an = 1 + 3n

a11<span> = 1 + 3(11)  </span> 

a11<span> = 34  </span>

Find the 15th term of the sequence using the formula: an = 1 + 3n

Write the recursive formula of the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, ….

Recursive formula:

a1 =

an = a  n  - 1

In the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 ….

To find the 5th<span> term recursively, I plug it into the formula I just made:  </span>

<span>  a</span>n = an-1 + 3

a5 = a5-1<span> + 3   in words: 5</span>th<span>  term equals the 4</span>th term plus 3

a5<span> = 13 + 3  </span>

a5<span> = 16   </span>

Someone please hurry and help with these its ok if its wrong will do brainliest sorry its blurry but please try!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is always the factor of x.

it is expressed as ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes when x changes a certain amount of units.

parallel means they have the same slope (factor of x).

perpendicular (90 degrees) means x and y trade places upside-down, and the sign is flipped.

so,

10) neither. we have the slopes -2/1 and 1/1.

11) parallel. the slopes -1/2 and -1/2.

12) perpendicular. the slopes 5/1 and -1/5.

16) parallel. special case. all points that have x=4 and x=2. these are 2 vertical lines (parallel to the y-axis also known as x=0).

17) perpendicular. special cases. all points that have y=2 and all points that have x=5. this is one horizontal line and one vertical line, which makes them perpendicular.

The points in the table lie on a line. What is the slope? help please, will give brainliest
Arlecino [84]

Answer: slope= 1

Step By Step: Slope, sometimes referred to as gradient in mathematics, is a number that measures the steepness and direction of a line, or a section of a line connecting two points, and is usually denoted by m. Generally, a line's steepness is measured by the absolute value of its slope, m. The larger the value is, the steeper the line. Given m, it is possible to determine the direction of the line that m describes based on its sign and value:

A line is increasing, and goes upwards from left to right when m > 0

A line is decreasing, and goes downwards from left to right when m < 0

A line has a constant slope, and is horizontal when m = 0

A vertical line has an undefined slope, since it would result in a fraction with 0 as the denominator. Refer to the equation provided below.

Slope is essentially change in height over change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as "rise over run." It has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads. In the case of a road the "rise" is the change in altitude, while the "run" is the difference in distance between two fixed points, as long as the distance for the measurement is not large enough that the earth's curvature should be considered as a factor. The slope is represented mathematically as:

m =

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

What is the negation of the follwoing conditional statement? "If a parallelogram has four congruent sides then it is a rhombus".
Kamila [148]
Negation...means put " not " in both the hypothesis and conclusion

if a parallelogram DOES NOT have 4 congruent sides, then it is NOT a rhombus.
