Answer:

The first five terms of the given sequence is 1, 0, -3, -8, -15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: nth term of sequence a_n=-n^2+2n

We have to find the first five terms of the given sequence,

Consider the given nth term of sequence a_n=n^2+2n

Substitute n = 1 ,

we get, a_1=-(1)^2+2=-1+2=1

Substitute n = 2 ,

we get,  a_2=-(2)^2+2(2)=-4+4=0

Substitute n = 3,

we get, a_3=-(3)^2+2(3)=-9+6=-3

Substitute n = 4 ,

we get  a_4=-(4)^2+2(4)=-16+8=-8

Substitute n = 5 ,

we get  a_5=-(5)^2+2(5)=-25+10=-15

Thus, first five terms of the given sequence is 1, 0, -3, -8, -15

If your sequence is this

an =   - {n}^{2}  + 2n \\ then \\ a1 =  - 1 + 2 = 1 \\ a2 =  - 4 + 4 = 0 \\ a3 =  - 9 + 6 =  - 3 \\ a4 =  - 16 + 8 =  - 8 \\ a5 =  - 25 + 10 =  - 15

What are the similarities and differences between linear equations and arithmetic sequences?
Alona [7]
Similarities:
Have a consistent change for every interval can be represented as functions of a variable points lie on a line.

Differences: linear equations represent all solutions to all x values, whereas arithmetic sequences pick integer spacing

A given line has the equation 2x + 12y = −1. What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to
VikaD [51]

Answer:

y = 6x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- interceot form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + 12y = - 1 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

12y = - 2x - 1 ( divide all terms by 12 )

y = - \frac{1}{6} x - \frac{1}{12} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{6}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{6} } = 6

Note the line passes through (0, 9) on the y- axis ⇒ c = 9

y = 6x + 9 ← equation of perpendicular line
