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

In 1995, Orlando, Florida, was about 175,000. At the time, the population was growing at a rate of about 2000 per year. Write an
gladu [14]

Answer:

y= 2000 * x + 175000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is Population is 175,000

Increase in rate = 2000/year

Let x be the population in 1995 which is C= 175,000

y= Population after per year

We know the formula for slope intercept form is

y= mx + C     ............... (i)

Now from the suppose values and given

m= 2000

Now putting values in equation (i) gives

y= 2000 * x + 175000

Here x is the No of years

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line 6x + 3y = 15
NISA [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line is 6x+3y=15

Slope of the given line (m)=-x/y

=-6/3

=-2

let slope of the line perpendicular to the given line be m'.

Condition of perpendicularity,

m×m'=-1

-2×m'=-1

m'=-1/-2

m'=1/2
