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>

The point (−3, 1) is on the terminal side of angle θ, in standard position. What are the values of sine, cosine, and tangent of
Ivenika [448]

The length of the hypotenuse = √(-3^2 +1^2) = √10

The point -3,1 tell us the length of y is 1 and the length of x is 3.

This would make opposite = 1 and adjacent = -3

Sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse =  1/√10  = √10/10

Cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse = -3/√10  = - 3√10/10

Tanθ = opposite/adjacent = 1/-3 = -1/3

In two or more sentences, explain how to solve the cube root equation, 3√x−1+2=0
jolli1 [7]

Answer: PEMDAS


Step-by-step explanation: You wanna add 1 to both sides and get 3√x = 1. Then you wanna multiply 3 by 3√x which leaves you with x cause it canceled out. But remember to multiply 3 on both sides so x = 1 sq rt 3. Which is just 1.

x = 1

What are the zeros of the function f(x) =(x^2 - 3x - 10)(x + 4)<br> !!Please help!!!
murzikaleks [220]
F(x) = (x² - 3x - 10)(x + 4) becomes (x - 5)(x + 2)(x + 4) when completely factored. Now set each binomial equal to zero. 

x - 5 = 0
x = 5

x + 2 = 0
x = - 2

x + 4 = 0
x = - 4

Your zeros are at x = - 4, - 2, and 5. Or at (- 4, 0), (- 2, 0), and (5, 0).
