Answer:

a(n) = 3n - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence = a1 + d(n - 1)  where a1 = the first term and d = the common difference.

So here we  have:

a3 = 7 = a1 + 2d

a5 = 13 = a1 + 4d

Rewriting:

a1 + 4d = 13

a1 + 2d = 7  

Subtracting,  we eliminate a1:

2d = 6

d = 3

and a1 = 7 - 2(3)

= 1.

So our equation we can use to find any term is

a(n) = 1 + 3(n - 1)

a(n) = 1 + 3n - 3

a(n) = 3n - 2 (answer).

Checking :

3rs term = 3(3) - 2 = 7.

5th term = 3(5) - 2 = 13.

First term = 3(1) - 2 = 1.

A particular frozen yogurt has 75 calories in 2 ounces how many calories are in 8 ounces of the yogurt
Sveta_85 [38]
Hello there! If you know basic division, then you know that 8/2 is 4. With 75 calories being in 2 ounces of yogurt, all we have to do is multiply by 4 to get the amount of calories in 8 ounces of yogurt, because 2 * 4 is 8. Plus for this scenario, whatever we do to one part, we must do to the other. Let's solve. 75 * 4 is 300. There. There are 300 calories in 8 ounces of yogurt.
