Answer:

Function representing the sequence will be f(n) = (23 - 3n)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first five terms of an arithmetic sequence are as 20, 17, 14, 11, 8....

Let n represents the number of term and f(n) the the term in the sequence.

Then we have to find the function that represents the sequence.

As we know explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence is given by

T_{n}=a+(n-1)d Or the function representing the sequence will be

f(n) = a + (n-1)d

where a represents first term of the sequence a = 20

and common difference d = 17-20 = (-3).

Now the function which represents this sequence will be

f(n) = 20 + (n-1)(-3) = 20 - 3n + 3 = 23 - 3n

Answer: 17 -3n

Explanation:

In the given arithmetic progression 20,17,14,11,8....

first term that is a = 20

common difference that  is d=  a2-a1 = 17-20 = -3

let n is the nth term

a_{n} = a+(n-1)d

substituting the values of first, common,difference and n

a_{n} =20+(n-1) (-3)

                        = 20 -3n+3

                         =23 -3n

Ben can type 25 words in half a minute. At this rate, how many words can he type in 5 minutes?
Kruka [31]
I can’t see the “students work”. But the answer would be 250 words in 5 minutes.
Here’s how you would set up the equation:
25x(5*2)=
So your first step would be to multiply 5 and two because they’re in parenthesis, which would be 10.
So now you have:
25x10
25 times 10 is 250.
Hope that makes sense and helps! :)
