Given sequence:
6,2,-2,-6,-10,...
First we have to find the common difference.
d= 2-6=-4
d=-2-2=-4
d=-6-(-2)=-6+2=-4
So common difference is -4.

Which means it is an arithmetic sequence.

Formula for the given sequence is:
an= a1+ (n-1)d
an=6+(n-1)(-4)
an=6-4n+4
an=-4n+10

Answer: an=-4n+10

Hey there,

Your question states: Which choice is the simple formula for the nth term of the following arithmetic sequence?

6, 2, -2, -6, -10, 6, -6, 10

If you see,(6,2) are 4 apart. And also (-2,-4) So this would include that (-10,6) because they are also 4 apart.

Hope this helps.

A game is being played with two players. There are 21 balloons and the player who pops the last balloon wins. One or two can be

34kurt

Answer:

be the second player, and always leave a multiple of 3 balloons

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to win, a player must force the other player to leave one or two balloons. To do that, the winning player must leave one more balloon than the maximum number that can be popped. That is, the winner will be the player who leaves 3 balloons,

Working backward, we find that the winner must leave a multiple of 3 after each turn. Since the starting number is a multiple of 3, the first player must lose if the second player plays optimally.

The winning strategy is ...
