What is the general rule for the arithmetic sequence? 15, 12, 9, 6, … A. 3n – 18 B. 6(3 – n) C. 3n + 12 D. 18 – 3n

1 answer:

3 0

A1 = first term
a1 = 15
---------------------------------------------
d = common difference
d = (second term) - (first term)
d = a2 - a1
d = 9-12
d = -3
The negative common difference indicates that the terms are decreasing
Each time we subtract 3, or add -3, to get the next term.
----------------------------------------------
nth term of arithmetic sequence
an = a1 + d(n-1)
an = 15 + (-3)(n-1)
an = 15- 3n + 3
an = 18 - 3n

Answer is choice D

What is the solution to he equation (y/y-4)-(4/y+4)=3^2/y^2-16

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

$y=\pm i \sqrt{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $\frac{y}{\left(y-4\right)}-\frac{4}{\left(y+4\right)}=\frac{3^2}{(y^2-16)}$

Factor denominators then solve by making denominators equal

$\frac{y}{\left(y-4\right)}-\frac{4}{\left(y+4\right)}=\frac{3^2}{(y^2-16)}$

$\frac{y}{\left(y-4\right)}-\frac{4}{\left(y+4\right)}=\frac{9}{(y+4)\left(y-4\right)}$

$\frac{y\left(y+4\right)-4\left(y-4\right)}{\left(y-4\right)\left(y+4\right)}=\frac{9}{(y+4)\left(y-4\right)}$

$y\left(y+4\right)-4\left(y-4\right)=9$

$y^2+4y-4y+16=9$

$y^2=9-16$

$y^2=-7$

take squar root of both sides

$y=\pm \sqrt{-7}$

$y=\pm i \sqrt{7}$

Hence final answer is $y=\pm i \sqrt{7}$ .

Q must be positive in F.

F. r squared will be positive, because any number times itself is positive, and to get a positive number for the answer, the two numbers you multiply need to be the same sign. If r squared is positive, q must be too.

G. q does not have to be positive. If r is a negative number, then q can be negative. Say q=-2 and r=-3. -2-(-3) changes to -2+3, which equals 1.

H. Again, q can be negative if r is negative (two negative numbers multiplied together equals a positive answer.

J. q can be negative because even a negative number turns positive when squared.

Hope this helped you. :)
