Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The 6th term of an arithmetic progression is 35 and the 13th term is 77. find the 1st term

We know we have an arithmetic sequence.

a_n = (n - 1)*d + a_1

given:

a_6 = 35 = (6-1)*d + a_1

a_13 = (13 -1)*d + a_1 = 77

find a_1

we have  35 = 5d + a_1

and  77 = 12d + a_1

2 equations in 2 unknowns.

We can solve this.

77 = 12d + a_1

35 = 5d + a_1

minus  the 2 equations from each other.

77 - 35 = 12d - 5d + a_1 - a_1

42 = 7d

d = 6

Find a_1

35 = 5*6 + a_1

35 = 30 + a_1

a_1 = 35 -30 = 5

a_1 = 5

-6(2+n) is greater than 72
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

n > -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you use the distributive property;

-12 - 6n > 72

Then, since 12 is negative, you add 12 to both sides;

-12 - 6n > 72

+12           +12

-6n > 84

Then you divide both sides by -6 to get n > -14.


Shoot, hold on; this is an edit; did you mean that 72 is greater than -6(2 + n) or did you accidentally flip the sign in the picture? Hopefully I did what you needed.

Write an equation of the line, in point-slope form, that passes through the two given points.
EleoNora [17]
(-2,15)(9,-18)
slope = (-18 - 15) / (9 - (-2) = -33/11 = -3

There can be 2 answers to this question....
point slope form : y - y1 = m(x - x1)

(1) using points (-2,15)...
     y - 15 = -3(x + 2) <== one possible answer

(2) using points (9,-18)
     y + 18 = -3(x - 9) <== another possible answer
