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>

Need help with this question ! Due soon*

Answer:

x = 10, AB = 57

Step-by-step explanation:

In a trapezoid, the length of the median is one-half the sum of the lengths of the bases. From this, we have:

\frac{1}{2} (5x + 7 + 8x - 11) = 63

13x - 4 = 126

13x = 130

x = 10

5(10) + 7 = 50 + 7 = 57
