Answer:

a_8=38

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recursive sequence </u>

In a recursive sequence formula, each term a_n is computed as a function of one or more previous terms. In the formula

a_n=a_{n-1}+5

n is the number of the term we want to calculate. If n=8, then the formula becomes

a_8=a_{7}+5

We can see a_{n-1} is the previous term. It means we need a_7 to be able to compute a_8. But we also need a_6 to compute a_7 and so on until some known data is reached. The question provides five terms, a_5=23.

a_6=a_5+5=28

a_7=a_6+5=33

a_8=a_7+5=38

a_8=38

99 POINTS PLS HELP Write the equation in slope-intercept form. 4x + 3y = 15
Kisachek [45]

To write in slope intercept form solve the equation for y:

4x + 3y =15

Subtract 4x from both sides:

3y = -4x +15

Now get Y by itself by divide all terms by 3:

y = -4/3x + 5

topjm [15]

Answer:

f(x) = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + 2x – 8

f(x) = (-2)² + 2(-2) – 8

f(x) = (-2)² + 2(-2) – 8

f(x) = 4 + (-4) – 8

f(x) = 4 – 4 – 8

f(x) = 0 – 8

f(x) = -8

I hope this helps
