What is the equation of the line that passes through points (15,9) and (-2,9)
Vikki [24]

Answer:

y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: 9-9/-2-15=0

Therefore, y=0x+b

Plug values in: 9=0(-2)+b

0+b=9

b=9

Therefore, equation is y=9

- Write a recursive formula to represent the sequence below.<br> (3,7, 11, 15, 19,23,27,31,35, ...)
NemiM [27]

<em><u>The recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n  = 1, 2, 3, ....

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given a sequence is:

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35

<em><u>Let us find the difference between terms</u></em>

7 - 3 = 4

11 - 7 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

19 - 15 = 4

23 - 19 = 4

27 - 23 = 4

31 - 27 = 4

35 - 31 = 4

Thus the difference between terms is constant

Thus the given sequence is arithmetic sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant

<em><u>The nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by:</u></em>

a_n =a_1+(n-1)d

a_n = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

a_1 = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

Here in the given sequence

d = 4

a_1=3

Substitute in above formula,

a_n = 3 + (n-1)(4)\\\\a_n = 3 + 4n - 4\\\\a_n = 4n - 1

<em><u>Thus the recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n = 1, 2, 3, ......

When you multiply a function by -1, what is the effect on its graph?
Dafna1 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  The graph flips over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plot the coordinate pair (x, y), you plot the point 'y' units above the x-axis. If you change the sign of that (multiply the function by -1), then the point becomes (x, -y), and is plotted 'y' units below the x-axis.

The graph flips over the x-axis.

__

Attached is an example of a function with its original graph (red) and the graph after being multiplied by -1 (blue). The blue graph is a reflection of the red graph across the x-axis.
