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

Persons taking a 30-hour review course to prepare for a standardized exam average a score of 620 on that exam. Persons taking a

Given:

30-hour review course average a score of 620 on that exam.

70-hour review course average a score of 749.

To find:

The linear equation which fits this data, and use this equation to predict an average score for persons taking a 57-hour review course.

Solution:

Let x be the number of hours of review course and y be the average score on that exam.

30-hour review course average a score of 620 on that exam. So, the linear function passes through the point (30,620).

70-hour review course average a score of 749. So, the linear function passes through the point (70,749).

The linear function passes through the points (30,620) and (70,749). So, the linear equation is:

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$y-620=\dfrac{749-620}{70-30}(x-30)$

$y-620=\dfrac{129}{40}(x-30)$

$y-620=\dfrac{129}{40}(x)-\dfrac{129}{40}(30)$

$y-620=\dfrac{129}{40}(x)-\dfrac{387}{4}$

Adding 620 on both sides, we get

$y=\dfrac{129}{40}x-\dfrac{387}{4}+620$

$y=\dfrac{129}{40}x+\dfrac{2480-387}{4}$

$y=\dfrac{129}{40}x+\dfrac{2093}{4}$

We need to find the y-value for $x=57$ .

$y=\dfrac{129}{40}(57)+\dfrac{2093}{4}$

$y=183.825+523.25$

$y=707.075$

$y\approx 707.1$

Therefore, the required linear equation for the given situation is $y=\dfrac{129}{40}x+\dfrac{2093}{4}$ and the average score for persons taking a 57-hour review course is 707.1.
