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.

Answer:

P(compact cars) = 4/25

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 13 trucks, 8 vans, and 4 compact cars.

Let P denotes the probability of an event

Now we are asked to find the probability of compact cars

Number of favorable events = number of compact cars = 4

total number of outcomes = 13+8+4 = 25

hence, P(compact cars) = number of favorable events/total outcomes

                                       =4/25
