The general term is obtained by starting with the initial value 5 and then subtracting 4 each time you wish to generate a new term:
a2 = second term = 5+(2-1)(-4) = 5+(-4) = 1
General term:
an = nth term = 5+(n-1)(-4)
Thus, the 21st term is 5+(21-1)(-4) = 5 + (20)(-4) = -75 (answer)
y=-2x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
line segment xy has endpoints x(5 7) and y(-3 3)
for the equation of the perpendicular bisector of line segment xy
slope of line segment xy = 7-3 / 5+3
= 4/8
=1/2
so slope of perpendicular bisector is -2
as m1m2= -1 or m1= -1/m2
As perpendicular bisector goes through midpoint of xy , let's find midpoint of xy
midpoint(x,y) = (5-3 / 2 , 7+3 / 2)
=(2/2, 10/2)
=(1,5)
find the equation of line(perpendicular bisector) passing through (1,5) and the slope -2
y-5 = -2(x-1)
y-5 =-2x+2
y=-2x+7
Answer is 5 hours
Explained
I divided 17,700 by 60 seconds to get minutes
Then I divided by 60 minutes to get hours
4.916 hours rounded to 5 hours
Y(

+ 2y)
in expanded form is:

+

.
First, distribute. / Your problem should look like:

+ y × 2y.
Second, simplify

to

. / Your problem should look like:

+ y × 2y.
Third, simplify exponent. / Your problem should look like:

+

× 2.
Fourth, regroup terms. / Your problem should look like:

+

, which is your answer.
