The nth term in a sequence is 2n -6 work out the first three terms

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nata [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The first three terms in the sequence are -4, -2, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In any sequence n represents the position of the term in the sequence

<u><em>Examples:</em></u>

First term ⇒ n = 1

Second term ⇒ n = 2

Fifth term ⇒ n = 5

Let us solve our question

∵ The rule of the nth term is an = 2n - 6

→ We need to find the first three terms, means n = 1, 2, 3

∵ n = 1

∴ a1 = 2(1) - 6

∴ a1 = 2 - 6

∴ a1 = -4

∴ The first term is -4

∵ n = 2

∴ a2 = 2(2) - 6

∴ a2 = 4 - 6

∴ a2 = -2

∴ The second term is -2

∵ n = 3

∴ a3 = 2(3) - 6

∴ a3 = 6 - 6

∴ a3 = 0

∴ The third term is 0

The first three terms in the sequence are -4, -2, 0

Your supposed to find the angle of the triangle but I know the answer 145 but I want to know how you get the answer
Inga [223]
A straight line adds up to 180
So the line opposite of 137 should add up to 180
This gives us the equation 137+x=180 then x=43

The triangle also adds up to 180 degrees
So 102+43+x=180
The equation can be simplified to 145+x=180 therefore x=35


So x+?=180  because it is a straight line.
We can substitute x in making the equation 35+?=180
Now we want to solve for the ? so we'll subtract 35 from each side 
This leaves us with the equation ?=145

So we now know that the ?=145
