Answer: a_n=-17+3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Arithmetic sequence : -17, -14, -11, -8, ...

Here the first term , a_1=-17

Common difference : d=-14-(-17)=3

The formula to find the nth term is given by :-

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

i.e.  a_n=-17+3(n-1)

Hence, the equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence :-

a_n=-17+3(n-1)

A line passes through the point (9,1) and has a slope of 2.Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

y = 2x-17

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a point and a slope, we can write the equation in point slope form and then convert to slope intercept form

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

y-1 = 2(x-9)

Distribute

y-1=2x-18

Add 1 to each side

y-1+1 = 2x-18+1

y = 2x-17

This is slope intercept form

In the year 1987, an investment was worth $29,800. In the year 1997, this
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a) 46.98%

b) increasing rate of change

Step-by-step explanation:

In year 1987, investment worth $29800

In year 1997, investment worth $43800

Rate of change = 1997investment - 1987investment / 1987investment × 100

Rate of change = 43800 - 29800/29800 × 100

= 14000/29800 × 100

= 0.46979 × 100

= 46.98%

Therefore, the rate of change of the investment during the time period is 46.98%.

b) The rate of change of the investment is increasing. This is as a result of the following reasons. First, the value of rate of change is positive. Second, there is no value for rate of change for period before the time period so we cannot compare rate of change.
