How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence shown below?15, 7, -1, -9...,-225
1 answer:
We know that
We can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule:
<span>an = a1 + d(n−1)</span>
where
<span>a1 = the first term
<span>d =the "common difference" between terms
in this problem
a1=15 a2=7 a3=-1 a4=-9 ..... an=-225
d=a2-a1
d=7-15-----> d=-8
</span></span>an = a1 + d(n−1)
for
an=-225
d=-8
a1=15
find n
-225=15+(-8)*(n-1)--> (n-1)=[-225-15]/-8----> n-1=30---> n=30+1---> n=31

Step-by-step explanation:
the simplest form 8/18 is 4/9
That would be 1 21/99 or 120/99 as an improper fraction.
Basically you substitute 16 in for x.
f(16) = 3/4(16) - 5
f(16) = 12 - 5
f(16) = 7
Answer:
x > 6
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 2x > 6 (x + 2)
8x > 6 (x + 2)
8x > 6x + 12
<u>-6x -6x</u>
2x/2 > 12/2
x > 6
