Answer:
a) Arithmetic
b) 22.5
c) 4.5
d) a_n = 4.5 + 4.5(n - 1)
e) a_15 = 67.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Subtract one term by the term right before it, and the difference will be the common difference.
9 - 4.5 = 4.5
13.5 - 9 = 4.5
18 - 13.5 = 4.5
Therefore, the common difference is 4.5.
b) Since the common difference is 4.5, add 4.5 to the 18 (which was the last value given). The result is 22.5.
c) We have already figured out that the common difference is 4.5.
d) The explicit formula would be a_n = a1 + d(n - 1). The first term is 4.5 and d is also 4.5, so the explicit formula is a_n = 4.5 + 4.5(n-1).
e) Plug 15 into our explicit formula for n. a_15 = 4.5 + 4.5(14). The result is 67.5.
Question 3. You divide 5 1/4 by 3/4 then multiply that by 20.
The answer is 140
Most people use the decomposition method but i dont know how to do that so i use the Joes method a method similar to decomp. but easier.

Find gcf: None
complet trinomial: 18n^2+57-10
find the product=10(18)
=-180
find the sum =57
-3 and 60 goes into both meaning if you multiply 3 and60 you get -180 and if you add them you get 57.
so (n-3)(n+60)
divide by a in this case it 18
so (n<u>-3</u>)(n+<u>60</u>)
18 18
do not divide. treat it like a fraction so you reduce it to lowest terms
(n<u>-3</u>)(n<u>-3)
</u> 18 10
<u /> at this point its reduced to lowest terms so now you take the deniminator and move it beside the "n"
=(18n-3)(10n-3)
therefore your answer is (18n-3)(10n-3)
I hoped this helped :)
