P(x) = x-4
k(x-4) = 5(x-4) - 8 = 5x - 28
So the answer is 2
First term is -7, so a_1 = -7
To get the next term, we add on 4. We can see this if we subtract like so
d = (2nd term) - (1st term) = (-3) - (-7) = -3+7 = 4
So d = 4 is the common difference.
Apply a_1 = -7 and d = 4 to get...
a_n = a_1 + d*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + 4*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + (n-1)*4
Answer: Choice A
Answer:
(b) 1.7 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a regular polygon in terms of perimeter and apothem is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2Pa
For a hexagon, the perimeter is 6 times the side length, so this becomes ...
A = 1/2(6s)a = 3sa . . . . . for side length 's' and apothem 'a'
__
Solving for the apothem, we find ...
a = A/(3s)
For the given values of area and side length the apothem is ...
a = 10.4/(3·2) = 1.733... ≈ 1.7 . . . inches
The apothem, rounded to tenths, is 1.7 inches.
