Answer:

a_{n} = 8n - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

5 - (- 3) = 13 - 5 = 21 - 13 = 8

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 3 and d = 8 , thus

a_{n} = - 3 + 8(n - 1) = - 3 + 8n - 8 = 8n - 11 ← note this is the second option, that is

f(n) = - 3 + 8(n - 1)

Divide the amount by 7 to find the value of one part

£56 ÷ 7 = £8 ← one part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × £8 = £24

4 parts = 4 × £8 = £32

What is the average of 63 and 148
fgiga [73]

The average is 105.5. To find the average, you have to add up all numbers, 63+148=211. Now you have to divide by how many numbers there are,               211÷2=105.5

The lines x=0, y=2x-5, and y=mx+9 form a right triangle. find the two possible values of m
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: -1/2, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x=0 , y=2x-5 and y=mx+9 form a right angle. So, y=mx+9 is either perpendicular to x=0 or y=2x-5 because the angle between x=0 and y=2x-5 is not 90 degrees. The product of slopes of perpendicular lines equals to -1.

Thus, m=-1/2 if it is perpendicular to y=2x-5. And y=c, for some constant if it is perpendicular to x=0. So y=0x+9 fits the bill. (m=0, in this case)
